1.7 NOISE HAZARDS
• Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing,
buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). Therefore, risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate controls
for these hazards are essential.
• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
• Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as required by occupational health and safety
regulations.
• Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instruction manual, to prevent an unnecessary increase in the
noise level.
1.8 VIBRATION HAZARDS
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms.
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.
• If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your fingers or hands, stop using the tool, tell your
employer and consult a physician.
• Where possible support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, because a lighter grip can then be used
to support the tool.
1.9 ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PNEUMATIC POWER TOOLS
• The operating hydraulic supply must not exceed 7 bar (100 PSI).
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect air hose when tool is not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs.
• DO NOT let air exhaust opening on the mandrel collector face in the direction of the operator or other persons. Never
direct air at yourself or anyone else.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
• Prior to use, inspect airlines for damage, all connections must be secure. Do not drop heavy objects on hoses. A sharp
impact may cause internal damage and lead to premature hose failure.
• Cold air shall be directed away from hands.
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whipcheck safety cables
shall be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure.
• DO NOT lift the placing tool by the hose. Always use the placing tool handle.
• Vent holes must not become blocked or covered.
• Keep dirt and foreign matter out of the hydraulic system of the tool as this will cause the tool to malfunction.
WARNING: While a small amount of wear and marking will naturally occur through normal and correct use of
mandrels, they must be regularly examined for excessive wear and marking, with particular attention to the head
diameter, the tail jaw gripping area of the shank or heavy pitting of the shank and any mandrel distortion. Man-
drels which fail during use could forcibly exit the tool. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that mandrels are
replaced before any excessive levels of wear and always before the maximum recommended number of placings.
