PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY
– Make sure that the nameplate is readable; get a replacement nameplate from the manufacturer, if need be.
– The pneumatic tool may stop if:
• it is overloaded.
– If the belt gets jammed, stop the sander immediately, keeping it idle until the belt is fully released. Before resuming work, make
sure that the belt has been fixed properly and is not damaged.
– If the belt or the workpiece should break, loose parts may be thrown at high speed.
– Pay attention to grinding sparks, which may be potential hazards to exposed things and people. They may set clothes on fire and
cause burns.
– Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to handle the weight and power of the pneumatic tool.
– It is important to be prepared for unexpected movements of the pneumatic tool resulting from a jammed or broken accessory.
Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist such movements.
– Keep your hands away from the belt: you may hurt yourself.
– Periodically check that the speed of the pneumatic tool does not exceed the stated speed.
– Stop the tool in case of air supply failure or low operating pressure. Check the operating pressure; start the tool again when optimal
operating pressure is resumed.
– When using the pneumatic tool, the operator may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, or neck area. Adopting a
comfortable posture and changing posture may help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
Caution: If the pneumatic tool is used over a protracted period of time, part of the tool and the accessory may become hot. Wear
suitable protective gloves against physical agents.
Dust and fumes hazards: Depending on the type of material being worked, the fumes generated while operating the pneumatic tool
can cause diseases in humans. An appropriate environmental hygiene survey is required to determine the type and degree of
protection of the personal protective equipment to use for the respiratory tract.
Using the pneumatic tool on the workpiece generates noise, which may prove harmful to the exposed personnel. A proper
phonometric survey is required to determine the personal hearing protective equipment (hearing protection) to use.
If a specially conducted survey suggests that the daily exposure to vibration generated from the pneumatic tool exceeds the limit
value under the regulations in force in the respective country, anti-vibration gloves must be worn.
– If you notice that the skin of your fingers becomes numb, turns white, tingles or hurts, stop working with the pneumatic tool, inform
your employer and seek medical advice.
– Do not make the pneumatic tool jump on the workpiece: this may result in significantly increased vibration.
– Hold the pneumatic tool with a not too firm yet secure grip, compliant with the required hand reaction forces.
– Never carry the pneumatic tool by the hose.
