Hazards due to noise
▸
If adequate hearing protection is used a high
noise level can result in permanent hearing
damage, loss of hearing or other problems
such as Tinnitus (ringing, whizzing, whistling
or buzzing in the ears). It is essential that a
risk assessment is performed with reference to
these hazards and suitable control mechanisms
implemented.
▸
Suitable risk reduction control mechanisms
include measures such as the use of insulation
material to prevent ringing noises occurring at the
workpieces.
▸
Use hearing protection equipment according to
the instructions of your employer or as required
by the health and safety regulations.
▸
The threaded fastener tool must be operated and
maintained according to the recommendations in
this manual, to avoid an unnecessary increase in
the noise level.
▸
If the threaded fastener tool has a silencer, it must
be ensured this is fitted when the tool is being
used and that it is in a good working state.
▸
The consumables and the tool bit must be
selected, maintained and replaced according to
the recommendations of this manual, to prevent
an unnecessary increase in the noise level.
Hazards due to vibrations
▸
Vibrations can cause damage to the nerves and
impairment of the circulation in the hands and
arms.
▸
Keep your hands away from the sockets of the
nut wrench.

Special safety instructions
▸
Do not use an worn or poorl fitting sockets and
extension bars, because it is extremely likely that
this will lead to a considerable amplification of
the vibrations.
▸
The consumables and the tool bit must be
selected, maintained and replaced according to
the recommendations of this manual, to prevent
an unnecessar amplification of the vibrations.
▸
Where possible sleeve fittings must be used.
▸
Wherever possible use a column, clamp or an
equaliser to support the weight of the tool.
▸
Do not hold the tool too tightly but with a secure
grip while maintaining the necessary hand reac-
tion forces because the risk of vibration generally
increases with increasing gripping force.
Additional safety instructions for
pneumatic tools
▸
Compressed air can cause serious injuries.
— If the tool is not in use, before exchanging acces-
— Never direct the air ow towards ourself or an -
sories or when performing repair work, always
