■
If you experience numbness, tingling or pain in
your fingers or hands or the skin on your fingers
or hands turns white, stop working with the
nibbler and consult a doctor . You should also
consult an appropriately qualified doctor .
■
The nibbler or shears should be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual to reduce any
unnecessary increase of the vibrations .
■
Hold the machine securely but not too firmly
while maintaining the necessary hand-reaction
force, as the vibration risk generally increases
the harder the machine is held .
Additional safety instructions for
pneumatic machines
■
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
–
When the machine is not in use, the air sup-
ply must always be shut off and the air hose
depressurised .
The machine must be disconnected from the
compressed air supply before replacing ac-
cessories or when carrying out repair work .
–
Never aim the airflow at yourself or anyone
else .
■
Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury . You
should therefore always check whether the
hoses and their fixings are undamaged and
have not come loose .
■
Cold air must be directed away from the hands .
■
If universal rotary joints (claw couplings) are
used, locking pins must be inserted and Whip-
check hose restraints must be used to provide
protection in the event of failure of the connection
between the hose and the machine or between
one hose and another .
■
Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure
on the machine is not exceeded .
■
Never carry pneumatic machines by the hose .

Before use
NOTE
►
The tool may be operated only with cleaned,
atomised-oil air and must not exceed the maxi-
mum working pressure of 6 .3 bar on the tool .
The compressor must be fitted with a pressure
reducer to regulate the working pressure .
►
Note that the maximum working pressure may
not be exceeded . An excessive working pres-
sure does not mean increased output; it merely
increases the air consumption and accelerates
tool wear . Always comply with the technical
information .
