or excessively long operation without a load shortens the tool’s service life
and can entail a risk of personal injury or damage to property.
Check the air hose for wear and protect it from heat and sharp edges. Do not carry the tool by the
air hose.
Falling is a common cause of personal injury and death. Look out for hose bends in your area of
movement and in the work area. Also look out for the part of the hose that is permanently
connected to the tool.
Continuous use and unsuitable working conditions can cause hand injury. Stop using the tool if
your hands become numb or start to hurt. Do not resume work until your hands feel normal again.
Consult a doctor immediately if the problem persists.
Keep other people at a safe distance from the work area.
The product may contain one or more chemical substances that have been shown to be
carcinogenic, harmful to the developing foetus or to cause fertility problems. Wash your hands
after use.
Risk of eye or head injury
Pneumatic tools can throw out objects such as mounting pieces, metal shavings, swarf, etc., at
high speed, which can cause serious eye injuries.
Always wear safety glasses that meet ANSI Z87.1 standards and are fitted with side protection.
Never leave the tool unattended when connected to the compressed air supply. Always disconnect
the air hose when the tool is not in use.
Compressed air can be dangerous. The compressed air system can cause injury to soft tissues
such as eyes, ears, etc. Particles or objects carried by the air flow can cause personal injury.
For further protection, you should wear an approved face mask in addition to the eye protection.
Tools or accessories can come loose or break, and parts can be thrown off, hitting the user or other
individuals in the work area.
Check that all tools and accessories are fitted correctly.
Fire or explosion hazard
Sanding tools with paper or discs, rotating tools such as drills, percussion tools such as nail guns,
staple guns or hammers, as well as reciprocating saws and jigsaws, can generate sparks that can
ignite flammable material.
Never use tools near flammable substances such as petrol, naphtha, solvents, etc.
The work area must be clean, well ventilated and free from flammable materials.
Never attempt to power compressed air tools with oxygen, carbon dioxide or other bottled gas.
Never exceed the nominal maximum pressure for tools or accessories. This can cause an
explosion resulting in serious personal injury.
The feed pressure of the compressed air supply must never exceed the maximum permitted
pressure for any accessory.
Never connect the tool to a compressed air supply whose pressure can exceed 13.8 bar.
Always check that the compressed air supply is set to the tool’s rated pressure before connecting
the tool.
