defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk assessment 

and implementation of appropriate controls for these 

hazards are essential.

 

Risk assessment should include dust created by the 

use of the tool and the potential for disturbing  existing 

dust.

 

Operate and maintain the nibbler or shear as 

recommended in these instructions, to minimize dust 

or fume emissions.

 

Direct the exhaust so as to minimize disturbance of 

dust in a dust-filled environment.

 

Where dust or fumes are created, the priority shall be 

to control them at the point of emission.

 

All integral features or accessories for the collection, 

extraction or suppression of airborne dust and fumes 

should be correctly used and maintained in accordance 

with the manufacturer's instructions.

 

Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted 

tool as recommended in the instruction handbook to 

prevent an unnecessary increase in dust or fumes.

 

Use respiratory protection in accordance with 

the employer's instructions and as required by 

occupational health and safety regulations.

NOISE HAzARDS

 

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 may include 

actions such as damping materials to prevent work 

pieces from “ringing”.

 

Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's 

instructions and as required by occupational health 

and safety regulations.

 

Operate and maintain the nibbler or shear as 

recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent 

an unnecessary increase in the noise level.

 

Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted 

tool as recommended in the instruction handbook, to 

prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.

 

If the nibbler or shear has a silencer, always ensure it 

is in place and in good working order when the nibbler 

or shear is being operated.

vIBRAtION HAzARDS

The information for use shall draw attention to vibration 

hazards that have not been eliminated by design and 

construction and remain as residual vibration risks. It shall 

enable employers to identify the circumstances in which 

the operator is likely to be at risk from vibration exposure. 

If the vibration-emission value obtained using ISO 28927-

7 does not adequately represent the vibration emission 

in the intended uses (and foreseeable misuses) of the 

machine, additional information and/or warnings shall be 

supplied to enable the risks arising from vibration to be 

assessed and managed.

 

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 the 

nibbler or shear, tell your employer and consult a 

physician.

 

Operate and maintain the nibbler or shear as 

recommended in this instruction handbook, to prevent 

an unnecessary increase in vibration.

 

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.

ADDItIONAL SAfEty INStRUctIONS fOR pNEU-

MAtIc pOWER tOOLS

 

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.

 

Cold air shall be directed away from hands.

 

Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) 

are used, lock pins shall be installed and whipcheck 

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.
