the tool and the possibility of existing dust disruption.
Direct the air outlet of the tool so as to minimise dust disturbance in a dusty environment.
In the event of dust or fl ue gas hazards, the priority is to control them at the point of emission.
Noise hazards
Exposure to high levels of noise when unprotected can cause permanent disability, hearing loss and other problems such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or tooting in ears).
Performance of the risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate control measures for these hazards are necessary.
Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include measures such as using soundproofi ng materials to prevent the workpiece
from "ringing".
Use adequate hearing protection.
Operate and maintain the tool in accordance with the guidelines in this instructions manual to prevent an unnecessary increase
in the noise level.
If the tool is equipped with a silencer, always make sure that it is in place and in good condition when the tool is used.
Vibration hazards
Check the vibration level of the tool given in the instructions manual. Check the level of vibration acceptable for work in the country
where the tool is used. Check the tool regularly for loose connections. Loosely fastened parts of the tool can increase vibrations
transmitted to the operator's hands. If it is not possible to further minimise the vibrations of the tool, use shock-absorbing pads
for grips or personal protective equipment that will reduce the vibrations transmitted to the operator's hands, e.g. special gloves.
Before starting work, it is necessary to perform a risk assessment and implement appropriate controls.
Vibration exposure may result in damage to the nerves and the blood circulation in the hands and the arms.
Wear warm clothes when working at low temperatures and keep your hands warm and dry.
In case of experiencing numbness, tingling, pain or seeing that the fi ngers or palms get pale, consult a qualifi ed occupational
health professional for general advice.
Operate and maintain the tool in accordance with the guidelines in this instructions manual to prevent an unnecessary increase
in the vibration level.
Hold the tool with a light but safe grip as the risk of vibration is generally greater when the grip force is greater.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools
Compressed air may cause serious injuries.
Always close the air supply and disconnect the tool from the air supply when not in use.
Always disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply before changing accessories, performing adjustments or repairs and
when moving to another working area.
Keep your fi ngers away from the trigger when not using the tool and when changing your working position.
Never point the compressed air at yourself or anyone else.
The sudden, unexpected movement of the hoses can cause serious injuries. Always check for damaged or loose hoses or fi ttings.
Never carry the pneumatic tool holding it by the hose. Never pull the pneumatic tool holding it by the hose.
When using pneumatic tools, do not exceed the maximum operating pressure Ps max.
Pneumatic tools should only be supplied with compressed air at the lowest pressure required in the work process to reduce noise,
vibration and wear.
The use of oxygen or fl ammable gases to operate pneumatic tools poses fi re and explosion hazards.
Exercise caution when using pneumatic tools, as the tool may cool down, aff ecting the grip and control.
CONDITIONS OF OPERATION
It is indispensable that the source of compressed air permits generating of the appropriate working pressure. Should the pressure
of the fed air be too high, it is necessary to use a reducer with a safety valve. The pneumatic device must be supplied with com-
pressed air through a fi lter and lubricator system. It will guarantee both cleanliness and lubrication of the air with oil. The conditions
of the fi lter and the lubricator must be revised between each use and, if necessary, clean the fi lter or replenish oil in the lubricator.
It will guarantee appropriate operation of the machine and prolong its durability.
It is only allowed to use in the tools only those connecting elements that are specifi ed in the manual. The tool which is used to
drive connecting elements and the connecting elements specifi ed in the manual are considered to constitute a single system from
the point of view of safety.
In order to connect the tool to the pneumatic system, it is recommended to use snapping connections, and the tool itself should
have a non-sealing screwed connector, so that after the tool has been disconnected, there is no remaining air in it.
The tool must not be supplied with oxygen or other infl ammable gases.
Tools should be connected solely to such a supplying system in which it is not possible to exceed the pressure by more than 10%
of the maximum value. In case there are higher pressures, it is necessary to apply a reduction valve with a safety valve.
The tools may be repaired solely with original spare parts, which are specifi ed by the manufacturer or their representative. Repairs
should be realised by experts who are authorised by the manufacturer. ATTENTION! Experts are meant to be persons who in a
