Noise Hazards
WARNING
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). Therefore, risk assessment and implementation of
appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
Appropriate controls to reduce the risk can include actions such as damping materials to prevent workpieces
from “ringing”.
Use hearing protection in accordance with the employer's instructions and as required by occupational health
and safety regulations.
Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instruction handbook to prevent an unnecessary
increase in the noise level.
Select, maintain and replace the consumable or inserted tool as recommended in the instruction handbook to
prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.
If this tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working order when the tool is being
operated.
The noise-emission value in this manual is measured in accordance with ISO standards. Since the real value
may change depending on the work condition, please use this tool with measurements in the actual condition.
Please don't operate beyond the time set by the region where the tool is used.
Vibration Hazards
WARNING
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 this
tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instruction handbook to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration levels.
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.
The vibration-emission value in this manual is measured in accordance with ISO standards. Since the real
value may change depending on the work condition, please use this tool with measurements in the actual
condition. Please don't operate beyond the time set by the region where the tool is used.
Additional Safety Instructions
WARNING
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
—always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from air supply when not in use,
before changing accessories or when making repairs;
—never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whip check
safety cables shall be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure.
Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool.
Never carry an air tool by the hose.
When a tool is taken permanently out of service, it is advised that the tool be disassembled and degreased, and
parts be separated by material and recycled locally in the appropriate manner.
