General safety warnings
B
efore installing, operating, repairing,
maintaining and replacing accessories
as well as prior to working near by
the air tool, please read and observe
all instructions. Failure to follow the following
safety warnings may result in serious injury.
Save all safety warnings and instructions for
future reference, and make them available to the
operator.
Work area safety
•
Pay attention to surfaces that may have become
slippery from using the machine, and to tripping
hazards from the pneumatic or hydraulic hose.
Slipping, tripping and falling are main reasons for
workplace injuries.
•
Do not operate the air tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases
or dusts. While working the workpiece, sparks can be
created which may ignite the dust or fumes�
•
Keep children and bystanders away from your
workplace while operating the air tool. Distractions
from other persons can cause you to lose control over
the air tool�
Air tool safety
• Never direct the airflow against yourself or other
persons close by, and conduct cold air away from your
hands� Compressed air can lead to serious injuries�
• Check the connections and the air supply lines.
All maintenance units, couplers, and hoses should
conform to the product specifications in terms of
pressure and air volume� Too low pressure impairs the
function of the air tool; too high pressure can result in
material damage and personal injury�
• Protect the hoses from kinks, restrictions, solvents,
and sharp edges� Keep the hoses away from heat, oil,
and rotating parts. Immediately replace a damaged
hose� A defective air supply line may result in a wild
compressed-air hose and can cause personal injury�
Raised dust or chips may cause serious eye injury�
• Make sure that hose clamps are always tightened
firmly. Loose or damaged hose clamps may result in
uncontrolled air escape�
Personal safety
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a air tool� Do not use
a air tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication� A moment of inattention while
operating a air tool may result in personal injury�
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Wearing personal protective equipment
such as a respirator, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat
or hearing protection - according to the instructions of
your employer or as required by the provisions for work
and health protection, reduces the risk of personal
injury�
• Prevent unintentional starting. Make sure that the
air tool is switched off before connecting it to the air
supply, picking it up or carrying it. When your finger
is on the on / off switch while carrying the air tool or
when connecting the air tool to the air supply while it is
switched on, accidents can occur�
•
Remove any adjustment tools before switching on
the air tool. A wrench or key left attached to a rotating
part of a air tool may result in personal injury�
•
Do not overreach� Keep proper footing and balance
at all times� This enables better control of the air tool in
unexpected situations�
•
Dress properly� Do not wear loose clothing or
jewellery� Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
from moving parts� Loose clothes, jewellery or long
hair can be caught in moving parts�
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used� Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards.
•
Do not directly inhale the exhaust air� Avoid exposing
the eyes to exhaust air� The air tool’s exhaust air can
contain water, oil, metal particles and debris from the
compressor� This can cause damage to one’s health�
Air tool use and care
•
Use the clamping devices or a vice to secure and
support the workpiece. Holding the workpiece by hand
or against your body will not allow for safe operation
of the air tool�
•
Do not overload the air tool� Use the air tool intended
for your work. The correct air tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed�
•
Do not use a air tool that has a defective on / off
switch� A air tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired�
• Disconnect the air supply before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or when not using
for extended periods� This safety measure prevents
accidental starting of the air tool�
•
Store idle air tools out of the reach of children�
Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the air tool or
these instructions to operate the device� Air tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users�
• Maintain the air tool with care. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the air
tool’s operation. Have damaged parts repaired before
using the air tool� Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained air tools�
