or make temporary repairs. Major servicing and repairs should only be
carried out by persons trained to do so.
– Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the ‘On/Off’ valve in ‘On’ position. The throttle
trigger/lever, etc. must always be free to return to the ‘Off’

– Always shut off the air supply to the tool and press the ‘On/
Off’ valve to exhaust the air from the feed hose before
fitting, removing or adjusting the working attachment
fitted to the tool.
– Before using the tool, make sure that a shut off device has
been fitted to the supply line and the position is known and
easily accessible so that the air supply to the tool can be
shut off in an emergency.
– Check hose and fittings regularly for wear.
– Take care against entanglement of the moving parts of
the tool with clothing, hair, ties, cleaning rags, rings,
jewelry, watches, bracelets, etc. This could cause the body
or parts of the body to be drawn towards and in contact with
the moving parts of the tool and could be very dangerous.

Safety rules when using a 5263 Needle Scaler
– It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and observe all
local, regional or country legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
– Take care that the exhaust air does not point towards any other person
or material or substance that could be contaminated by oil droplets. When
first lubricating a tool or if the tool exhaust has a high oil content, do not
allow the exhaust air to come near very hot surfaces or flames.
– Never lay the tool down until the working attachment has stopped moving.
– When the tool is not in use, shut off the air supply and press throttle trigger/
lever to drain the supply line. If the tool is not to be used for a period of
time, first lubricate, disconnect from air supply and store in a dry average
room temperature environment.
– If the tool is passed from one user to a new or inexperienced user, make
sure these instructions are available to be passed with the tool.
– Do not remove any manufacturer fitted safety devices where fitted, i.e.,
wheel guards, safety trigger, speed governors, etc.
– Wherever possible, secure workpiece with clamps, a vise, etc. to make it
rigid so it does not move during the work operation. Keep good balance
at all times. Do not stretch or overreach.
– Try to match the tool to the work operation. Do not use a tool that is too
light or heavy for the work operation. If in doubt, seek advice.
– In general terms, this tool is not suitable for underwater use or use in
explosive environments - seek advice from manufacturer.
– Try to make sure that the work area is clear to enable the work task to be
performed safely. If practical and possible, try to clear unnecessary
obstructions before starting work.
– Always use air hose and couplings with minimum working pressure ratings
at least 1 1/2 times the maximum working pressure rating of the tool.
