．
The vibration emission value reported in the operation manual is a tool-
related characteristic value and does not represent the influence to the
hand-arm-system when using the tool. Any influence to the
hand-arm-system when using the tool will for example depend on the
gripping force, the contact pressure force, the working direction, the
adjustment of energy supply, the workpiece, the workpiece support.
．
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, keep your hands
warm and dry.
．
If you experience numbness, tingling, pain, or whitening of the skin in
your fingers or hands, seek medical advice from a qualified occupational
health professional regarding overall activities.
．
Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these instructions, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
．
Hold the tool with a light, but safe, grip because the risk from vibration is
generally greater when the grip force is higher.
．
Compressed air can cause severe injury.
．
Always shut off air supply and disconnect tool from air supply when not in
use.
．
Always disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply before
changing accessories, making adjustments and /or repairs, when moving
away from an operating area to a different area.
．
Keep fingers away from trigger when not operating the tool and when
moving from one operating position to another.
．
Never direct compressed air at yourself or anyone else.
．
Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses or fittings.
．
Never carry a pneumatic tool by its hose.
．
Never drag a pneumatic tool by its hose.
．
When using pneumatic tools, do not exceed the maximum operating
pressure ps max.
．
Pneumatic tools should only be powered by compressed air at the lowest
pressure required for the work process to reduce noise and vibration and
minimize wear.
．
Using oxygen or combustible gases for operating pneumatic tools creates
a fire and explosion hazard.
．
Be careful when using pneumatic tools as the tool could become cold,
affecting grip and control.
．
When using a tool for long periods, the operator may experience
discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of the body.
．
While using a tool, the operator should adopt a suitable but ergonomic
posture. Maintain secure footing and avoid awkward or off-balanced
postures.
．
If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation,
or stiffness, do not ignore these warning signs. The operator should consult
a qualified health professional regarding overall activities.
．
Disconnect the energy supply to the tool, such as air, gas, or battery,
before changing /replacing accessories such as workpiece contact, or
making any adjustments.
．
Use only the sizes and types of accessories that are provided by original
manufacturer.
．
Use only lubricants recommended by original manufacturer slippery
surfaces caused by use of the tool and also trip hazards caused by the
airline hose.gripping force, the contact pressure force, the working direction,
the adjustment of energy supply, the workpiece, the workpiece support.
．
Slips, trips, and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of
slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also trip hazards caused by
the airline hose.
．
Proceed with additional care in unfamiliar surroundings. Hidden hazards
may exist, such as electricity or other utility lines.
．
This tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and
is not insulated from coming into contact with electrical power.
．
Make sure there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc. that could cause
a hazard if damaged by use of the tool.
If the tool is used in an area where there is static dust, it may disturb the
dust and cause a hazard. Proceed with the following:
．
Direct the exhaust to minimize disturbance of dust in a dust filled
environment.
．
Where dust or exhaust hazards are created, the priority shall be to control
them at the point of emission.
．
The noise values reported in the operation manual are tool-related
characteristic values and do not represent the noise generation at the point
of use. Noise at the point of use will for example depend on the working
environment, the workpiece, the workpiece support, and the number of
driving operations.
．
Unprotected 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).
．
Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as
damping materials to prevent workpieces from “ringing”.
．
Use appropriate hearing protection.
．
Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these instructions, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in noise levels.
．
If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working
order when the tool is being operated.
