1.2. General Safety Tips for Pneumatic Screwdriver Spindles
·
Disconnect the tool from the air supply, when changing bits or
when readjusting clutch.
·
Do not wear wide clothing or jewelry, for they can be seized by
movable parts. Wear a hairnet if operator has long hair.
·
Keep hands off the installed bit or socket.
·
Injury is possible, if the driver reacts with an unexpected motion or when
driver is used with a broken bit.
·
Keep hands away from holding fixture (if used). This applies especially when
loosening screws in a tight area. There is a risk of squeezing fingers between
holding bracket and tool. Make sure that any bracket used is correctly
installed.
·
An unexpected motion of the bit or socket may create a dangerous situation.
·
Especially, when operating an impact wrench, it is possible that an injury
occurs, if the bit breaks [flying splinters].
·
When using tool with bit-adapter or bit-extension (i.e. Magnetic Bitholder),
make sure, that those items are in good condition and well suited for the
application with this tool.
·
When using a screwdriver stand, make sure that the tool is
securely mounted. If no stand is used, make sure to have a solid
stance to absorb the tools’ torque reaction force.
·
If you are not able to absorb the torque reaction force, use a
holding fixture or side handle on the screwdriver.
·
After turning-off the tool, the bit will continue to rotate [inertia].
·
Do not exceed the maximum allowable air pressure. A pressure regulator
has to be installed, which regulates the air pressure before it reaches the
tool.
·
Avoid pressure to fall below the minimum allowable air pressure, because
the clutch cannot shut-off safely. This may cause an increased torque
reaction force, resulting in risks to operator, tool or product.
·
In case of an interruption of the air supply, make sure to wait until tool has
come to a stand still, prior to reactivating tool.
