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 PSI max (max. PSI, bar
or kPa).
•
Pneumatic tools should only be powered by compressed
air at the lowest pressure required for the work process
to reduce noise and vibration and minimise wear.
•
Using oxygen or combustible gases for operating
pneumatic tools creates a fire and explosion hazard.
•
Never use oxygen or combustible gases for operating
pneumatic tools. These gasses create a fire and
explosion hazard.
