c) When using the pneumatic tool, keep children and
other persons at a safe distance away.
If your mind is
diverted, you could lose control over the pneumatic
tool.
2) Safety when handling compressed air
a) Check the compressed-air supply at regular intervals.
Protect the hose from bending, squeezing, heat and
sharp edges. Tighten the hose clamps firmly. Make
sure that damaged hoses and couplings are repaired
immediately.
If the air supply is defective, the com-
pressed air hose could suddenly toss around and
cause injuries. Dust and chippings flying up in the air
can cause eye injuries.
3) Personal safety and safety of others
a) Pay particular attention, be sure of what you are doing
and tackle the work you are going to do with your
pneumatic tool in a sensible manner. Do not use the
pneumatic tool if you are tired or under the influence
of drugs, alcohol or medication.
One minute of care-
lessness whilst using the pneumatic tool can cause
severe personal injuries.
b) Wear your personal protective items and always wear
protective glasses.
Wearing protective personal
items such as a dust mask, sturdy shoes that do not
slip, a helmet or ear protection, depending on the
type of job to be done using the pneumatic tool, re-
duces the risk of injuries.
c) Prevent the possibility of the machine starting acciden-
tally. Make absolutely sure that the switch is in the
“OFF” position before you connect the pneumatic tool to
the compressed-air supply.
If your finger is on the
switch whilst you are carrying the pneumatic tool or
if you connect the pneumatic tool to the com-
pressed-air supply whilst it is switched on, this could
cause accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools and wrenches before you
switch the pneumatic tool on.
An adjusting tool or
wrench that has been left in a rotating part of the
pneumatic tool could cause injuries.
e) Do not over-estimate yourself. Make sure you have a
firm stance and can keep your balance at all times.
In
this way you will have better control over the pneu-
matic tool if anything unexpected happens.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any baggy clothes
or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from any moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or
long hair could get caught in the moving parts.
4) Careful handling and use of pneumatic tools
a) Do not strain the pneumatic tool. Use the correct appli-
cation tool intended for your work.
With the correct
application tool you can work better and more safely
in the given power range.
b) Do not use a pneumatic tool with a defective switch. A
pneumatic tool that can no longer be switched on or
off is dangerous and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power supply before you undertake any
adjustments on the pneumatic tool, change the acces-
sories or place the pneumatic tool down somewhere.
This precautionary measure prevents the pneumatic
tool from actuating accidentally.
d) Keep unused pneumatic tools out of the reach of chil-
dren. Do not allow anyone to use the pneumatic tool
who is not familiar with it and has not read these in-
structions.
Pneumatic tools are dangerous if they are
used by inexperienced persons.
e) Look after the pneumatic tool with care. Check that the
moving parts of the pneumatic tool are functioning per-
fectly and do not jam, that none of the parts are broken
or damaged, and that the function of the pneumatic
tool is not impaired. Any damaged parts should be re-
paired before using the pneumatic tool.
Many an acci-
dent has been caused by pneumatic tools that have
been badly kept.
f) Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Cutting tools
with sharp cutters that have been carefully looked af-
ter are less likely to jam and are easier to guide.
g) Use the pneumatic tool, the accessories and the appli-
cation tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner stipulated for this special type of
pneumatic tool. Take the working conditions and the
operation to be carried out into consideration.
Using
pneumatic tools for applications other than those
they are intended for, can lead to dangerous situa-
tions.
h) Hold the pneumatic tool firmly in both hands and make
sure you have a firm stance.
The pneumatic tool can
be guided more safely using both hands.
i) Secure the workpiece firmly. A work piece that is
gripped tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more
secure than if held by hand.
j) Do not machine any material containing asbestos. As-
bestos is cancerogenic.
k) Keep your hands away from the application tool. Do not
reach in front of or below the application tool.
Contact
with the application tool can lead to injury. Applica-
tion tools can become very hot while working.
l) Only position the pneumatic tool onto the workpiece
when it is switched on. There is danger of kickback
occurring or of losing control over the pneumatic
tool.
m) It is forbidden to rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the pneumatic tool. Use adhesive labels.
n) Do not use any accessories that have not been specifi-
cally designed and recommended by the manufacturer
of the pneumatic tool. Operation is not automatically
safe because an accessory happens to fit your pneu-
matic tool.
o) Beware of any concealed electric cables, gas or water
conduits; check the working area with a metal detec-
tor, for example, before commencing work.
5) Service
a) Your pneumatic tools should only be repaired by qual-
ified specialists and only with original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the pneumatic tool
is maintained.
Special safety instructions.
Secure the workpiece firmly. A work piece that is gripped
tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more secure than if
held by hand.
