g) If devices are provided for the connection of dust extraction and collection

facilities, ensure these are connected and properly used. Use of dust collection

can reduce dust-related hazards.

WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition.
If necessary limit the length of time exposed to vibration. Use the figures provided in the
specification relating to vibration if provided to calculate the duration and frequency of
operating the tool. The 2002/44/EC directive relating to vibration in the workplace may
provide useful information even for domestic use of tools. In the first instance of feeling
uncomfortable due to vibration STOP using the tool immediately.
WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and
limit the time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable even with ear
protection stop using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted
and provides the right level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your
tool.
3) Tool Use and Care
a) Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained

tools.

b) Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp

cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier to control.

c) Use the tool’s accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance with these instructions,

taking into account the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use

of the tool for operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation.

4) Service
a) Have your tool serviced by a qualified repair person using only identical

replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is maintained.

Air Tool Safety

Protect your yes
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
Protect your hearing
• Always wear ear protection
Protection from vibration
• Hand-held air tools may produce vibration and should not be used for long periods

without a break. Vibration can cause ill health. Gloves may help to maintain good blood
circulation in the fingers.

Protective clothing
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment including but not limited to overalls,

gloves, face mask etc

• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other persons in the vicinity of the work area

are also equipped with the appropriate protective equipment

Use the correct air hose
• Use lightweight hose to connect the tool to the air compressor
• Most air tools should be fitted with a coil hose.
Always disconnect
• Ensure that your air tool has completely stopped functioning before putting it down
• Disconnect an air tool from the air supply before performing any servicing, or changing

any blades, discs, or other attachments

• Ensure blades, discs or attachments are correctly fitted before reconnecting to air

supply

• Ensure the air tool is switched OFF before connecting to air supply. Be aware that air

tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed air pressure from the tool after
shutting off air supply

Do not abuse the machine
• Do not overload the machine. Allowing the machine to work at its optimum speed is

more efficient and prolongs its service life

• Do not increase air pressure above the recommended level; excessive pressure leads to

wear of moving parts, possible failure and may cause the machine casing to split

• Do not attempt to modify air tools. Any attempt to modify this air tool could result in

serious injury to you or others, and will invalidate its warranty

• Do not aim the nailer away from the workpiece when connected to an air supply
Never operate the tool with the safety mechanism disabled
