7.2.2.3   GENERAL SAFETY RULES

•  Multiple hazards. Read and understand the safety instructions before 

installing, operating, repairing, maintaining, changing accessories on, 

or working near the power tool. Failure to do so can result in serious 

bodily injury.

•  Only qualified and trained operators should install, adjust or use the 

power tool.

•  Do not modify this power tool. Modifications may reduce the effec

-

tiveness of safety measures and increase the risks to the operator.

•  Do not discard the safety instructions – give them to the operator.

•  Do not use a tool if the tool has been damaged.

•  Warnings shall be given against the risk of explosion or fire due to the 

material being processed;

•  Warnings shall be given against the risk of cutting. 

7.2.2.4   PROJECTILE HAZARDS

•  Failure of the work piece, of accessories, or even of the tool itself may 

generate high velocity projectiles.

•  Always wear impact-resistant eye protection during operation of the 

tool. The grade of protection required should be assessed for each 

use. 

7.2.2.5   ENTANGLEMENT HAZARDS

•  Entanglement hazard - choking, scalping and/or lacerations can occur 

if neck ware, hair or gloves are not kept away from tool and acces

-

sories. 

7.2.2.6   OPERATING HAZARDS

•  Use of the tool may expose the operator’s hands to hazards including 

crushing, impacts, cuts and abrasions and heat. Wear suitable gloves 

to protect hands.

•  Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically able to 

handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool.

•  Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or sudden 

movements – have both hands available.

•  Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.

•  Keep hands away from rotating or reciprocation accessories, spindles 

or other moving parts.

•  Release the start and stop device in the case of an interruption of the 

energy supply

•  Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer. 

7.2.2.7   REPETITIVE MOTIONS HAZARDS

•  When using a power tool, you may experience discomfort in your 

hands, arms, shoulders, neck, or other parts of your body.

•  While using a power tool, position your body in a comfortable 

posture. Maintain secure footing and avoid awkward or off-balanced 

postures. Changing your posture during extended tasks may help 

avoid discomfort and fatigue.

•  If you experience symptoms such as persistent or recurring discom

-

fort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensation, 

or stiffness, do not ignore these warning signs. Promptly tell your 

employer and consult a qualified health professional. 

7.2.2.8     ACCESSORY HAZARDS

•  Only use sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are 

recommended by the power tool manufacturer. 

7.2.2.9     WORKPLACE HAZARDS

•  Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware 

of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also of trip hazards 

caused by the air line or hydraulic hose.

•  Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Hidden hazards may 

exist, such as electricity or other utility lines.

•  This power tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmo

-

spheres and is not insulated from coming into contact with electric 

power.

•  Make sure there are no electrical cables, gas pipes etc. that could 

cause a hazard if damaged by use of the tool. 

7.2.2.10    DUST AND FUME HAZARDS

•  Dust from some work processes can cause cancer, birth defects or 

other respiratory diseases. Risk assessment of these hazards and 

implementation of appropriate controls is essential.

•  If the pneumatic tool is used in a dust filled environment exhaust 

air can cause a dust hazard 

•  Dusts and fumes generated when using power tools can cause 

ill health (for example: cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or der

-

matitis); risk assessment of these hazards and implementation of 

appropriate controls of is essential.

•  Risk assessment should include dust created by the use of the tool 

and the potential for disturbing existing dust.

•  Operate and maintain the power tool as recommended in these 

instructions, to minimize dust or fume emissions

•  Direct the exhaust so as to minimized disturbance of dust in a dust 

filled environment

•  Where dusts or fumes are created, the priority shall be to control 

them at the point of emission.

•  All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or 

suppression of airborne dust or fumes should be correctly used 

and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

•  Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as 

recommended in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary 

increase in dust or fumes

•  Use respiratory protection as instructed by your employer or as 

required by occupational health and safety regulations; 

7.2.2.11   NOISE HAZARDS

•  Unprotected exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, 

disabling, hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus (ring

-

ing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears);

•  Risk assessment of these hazards and implementation of appropri

-

ate controls of is essential.

•  Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as 

damping materials to prevent work pieces from ‘ringing’

•  Use hearing protection as instructed by your employer or as 

required by occupational health and safety regulations;

•  Operate and maintain the power tool as recommended in these 

instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise levels;

•  Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as 

recommended in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary 

increase in noise.   

7.2.2.12   VIBRATION HAZARDS

•  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 and keep 

your hands warm and dry;

•  If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin 

in your fingers or hands, stop using the power tool, and tell your

occupational health professional.

•  Operate and maintain the power tool as recommended in these 

instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration;

•  Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as 

recommended in these instructions, to prevent an unnecessary 

increase in vibration levels;

•  Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, 

because the operator can then use a lighter grip to support the tool.

•  Hold the tool with a light but safe grip taking account of the 

required hand reaction forces, because the risk from vibration is 

generally greater when the grip force is higher.
