c) Prevent the possibility of the machine starting
accidentally. Make absolutely sure that the
switch is in the “OFF” position before you con-
nect the pneumatic hacksaw to the com-
pressed-air supply.
If your finger is on the
switch whilst you are carrying the pneumatic
hacksaw or if you connect the pneumatic
hacksaw to the compressed-air supply whilst
it is switched on, this could cause accidents.
d) Remove any adjusting tools and wrenches be-
fore you switch the pneumatic hacksaw on.
An adjusting tool or wrench that has been
left in a rotating part of the pneumatic hack-
saw could cause injuries.
e) Do not over-estimate yourself. Make sure you
have a firm stance and can keep your balance
at all times.
In this way you will have better
control over the pneumatic hacksaw if any-
thing unexpected happens.
f) Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear any baggy
clothes or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from any moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair could
get caught in the moving parts.
g) If it is possible to mount vacuuming or collect-
ing devices, make sure that they are con-
nected and used in the proper way.
Using
these devices reduces the hazards caused by
dust.
4) Careful handling and use of pneumatic
hacksaws
a) Do not strain the pneumatic hacksaw. Use the
correct application tool intended for your
work.
With the correct application tool you
can work better and more safely in the given
power range.
b) Do not use a pneumatic hacksaw with a defec-
tive switch.
A pneumatic hacksaw that can no
longer be switched on or off is dangerous
and must be repaired.
c) Disconnect the power supply before you un-
dertake any adjustments on the pneumatic
hacksaw, change the accessories or place the
pneumatic hacksaw down somewhere.
This
precautionary measure prevents the pneu-
matic hacksaw from actuating accidentally.
d) Keep unused pneumatic hacksaws out of the
reach of children. Do not allow anyone to use
the pneumatic hacksaw who is not familiar
with it and has not read these instructions.
Pneumatic hacksaws are dangerous if they
are used by inexperienced persons.
e) Look after the pneumatic hacksaw with care.
Check that the moving parts of the pneumatic
hacksaw are functioning perfectly and do not
jam, that none of the parts are broken or dam-
aged, and that the function of the pneumatic
hacksaw is not impaired. Any damaged parts
should be repaired before using the pneu-
matic hacksaw.
Many an accident has been
caused by pneumatic hacksaws that have
been badly kept.
f) Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean. Cut-
ting tools with sharp cutters that have been
carefully looked after are less likely to jam
and are easier to guide.
g) Use the pneumatic hacksaw, the accessories
and the application tools, etc., in accordance
with these instructions and in the manner
stipulated for this special type of pneumatic
hacksaw. Take the working conditions and the
operation to be carried out into consideration.
Using pneumatic hacksaws for applications
other than those they are intended for, can
lead to dangerous situations.
h) Use the auxiliary handle supplied with the
pneumatic hacksaw.
Loss of control over the
pneumatic hacksaw can cause personal inju-
ries.
i) Hold the pneumatic hacksaw firmly in both
hands and make sure you have a firm stance.
The pneumatic hacksaw can be guided more
safely using both hands.
j) Secure the workpiece firmly. A work piece
that is gripped tightly in a clamping device or
vice, is more secure than if held by hand.
k) Do not machine any material containing as-
bestos.
Asbestos is cancerogenic.
l) Keep your hands well away from the saw
blade. Do not place your hands in front of or
underneath the saw blade.
Any contact with
the saw blade can cause personal injuries.
The saw blade can become very hot during
the sawing process.
