NOTE
► The noise emission levels and vibration values
specified in these instructions have been
measured in accordance with the corre-
sponding standardised measuring procedure
and can be used to make equipment compar-
isons. The noise emission levels and vibration
values vary depending on the use of the
compressed air tool and may be higher than
the values specified in these instructions in
some cases. It is easy to underestimate the
noise emission levels and vibration values if
the compressed air tool is used regularly in
this manner.
General safety instructions
WARNING!
► For multiple hazards: Make sure that you
have read and understood the safety instruc-
tions before adjusting, operating, repairing,
maintaining or replacing any accessories on
the nibbler or shears and before working in
the vicinity of the machine. Failure to do this
can result in serious bodily injury.
■ The nibbler or shears should only be set up,
adjusted and used by suitably qualified and
trained operators.
■ The nibbler or shears must not be modified.
Modifications can reduce the effectiveness of
the safety measures and increase the risks for
the operator.
■ Do not lose the safety instructions – hand them
to the operator.
■ Never use damaged nibblers or shears.
■ Machinery must be inspected regularly to
ensure that it is marked with the clearly legible
design values and markings required by this
part of ISO 11148. The employer/user must
contact the manufacturer to obtain replacement
signs if necessary.
Hazards caused by flying parts
■ Disconnect the nibbler or shears from the power
supply before replacing the machine tool or
accessories.
■ If a workpiece or accessory or even part of the
machine tool itself breaks, parts can be flung off
at high speeds.
■ Always wear impact-resistant eye protection
when operating the machine. The degree of
necessary protection must be evaluated sepa-
rately for each individual task.
■ You must ensure that the workpiece has been
securely fixed in place.
■ Ensure that sparks and metal offcuts are directed
so that they do not cause any hazards.
Hazards during operation
■ When using the nibbler and shears, the opera-
tor's hands may be exposed to hazards such as
knocks, cuts, abrasions and heat.
–
Avoid touching the cutting edge when the
nibbler or shears are connected to the
power source.
–
Cutting with nibblers and shears produces
sharp edges.
■ Wear protective equipment such as gloves,
aprons and safety helmets.
■ The operator and maintenance personnel must
be physically capable of handling the size,
mass and power of the machine.
■ Hold the machine correctly: Be ready to coun-
teract any normal or sudden movements – keep
both hands ready.
■ Ensure that your body is balanced and that you
have a secure standing position.
■ Release the start/stop control in case of a
disruption to the power supply.
■ Use only the lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer.
■ Avoid direct contact with the machine tool
during and after use as it will have heated up.
■ Always use sharp tools.
