Followings are the 2nd chapter of safety guidelines to follow when inspecting, using and maintaining air leg rock drills aka pneumatic rock drills:

1.Always use the proper weight of the pneumatic rock drill for the job. Use a lighter pnuematic rock drill for the job as much as possible.
2.Always lift the tool (pneumatic rock drill) properly by using the legs. This helps you avoid back strain or injury.
3.Use the proper point for the material to be broken. Remember to use rock point for rock, spade point for asphalt, and chisel point for concrete. Never use a broken or cracked point.
4.When moving the pneumatic rock drill from place to place during operation, place your hand between the handle and the operating lever.
5.Always operate the tool at a slight angle with it leaning back towards you. This way, you prevent the point from getting stuck in the material and the tool from getting out of control.
6.Shut off the air supply and relieve pressure from the supply hose before changing tool points. Do the same when leaving the pneumatic rock drill unattended.
7.Immediately remove defective or malfunctioning pneumatic rock drill and other tools until they are properly repaired.
8.Barricade the work area as much as possible to keep spectators and untrained personnel from getting exposed to the hazards of pneumatic rock drill operations.
