Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in these
instructions, to prevent an unnecessary increase in
vibration levels.
Hold the tool with a light, but safe, grip because the risk
from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is
higher.
The vibration emission value reported in the EC
Declaration is a tool-related characteristic value and
does not represent the influence to the hand-arm-system
when using the tool. Any influence to the hand-arm-
system when using the tool will for example depend on
the gripping force, the contact pressure force, the
working direction, the adjustment of energy supply, the
workpiece, the workpiece support.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools:
All tools should be fitted with quick release connectors
and a male plug must be fitted to the tool body.
Compressed air can cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, and disconnect tool from air
supply when not in use.
Always disconnect the tool from the compressed air
supply before changing accessories, making adjustments
and /or repairs, when moving away from an operating
area to a different area.
Keep fingers away from trigger when not operating the
tool and when moving from one operating position to
another or lift up the tool for operation.
Never direct compressed air at yourself or anyone else.
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 ps max.
Pneumatic tools should only be powered by compressed
air at the lowest pressure required for the work process
to reduce noise and vibration, and minimize wear.
Never connect a tool to a bottled gas supply.Use only
filtered, regulated & lubricated compressed air.
Using oxygen or combustible gases for operating
pneumatic tools creates a fire and explosion hazard.
Be careful when using pneumatic tools as the tool could
become cold, affecting grip and control.
Maintenance instructions:
It is important to visually inspect the tool each time
before use:
- The smooth movement of the work contact
element
- The smooth movement of the trigger
- If the tool is complete and no parts missing
- If the tool is lubricated sufficiently
For the maintenance of fastener driving tools, only spare
parts specified by the manufacturer or his authorised
representative shall be used.
Repairs shall be carried out only by agent authorized by
the manufacturer or by other specialists, having due
regard to the information given in the operating
instructions.
Operators should be capable of conducting basic
maintenance on the tool.
Tools must be recycled or taken to a designated disposal
areas.
