Entanglement Hazards
• Choking, scalping and/or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, personal
jewellery, neck wear, hair or gloves are not kept away from the tool and
its accessories
Operating Hazards
• Use of the tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards, including
cuts, abrasions and heat
• Wear suitable gloves to protect hands
• Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to
handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool
• Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden
movements and have both hands available
• Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing
• Release the start-and-stop device in the case of an interruption of the
energy supply
• Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer
• Personal protective safety glasses should be used; suitable gloves and
protective clothing are recommended
• Avoid direct contact with moving parts in order to prevent pinching or
cutting of hands or other body parts. Wear suitable gloves to protect
hands
• Never start or stop the tool when the tool or accessory is in contact to
the workpiece
• There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if used on plastic and other
non-conductive materials
• Potentially explosive atmospheres can be caused by dust and fumes
resulting from sanding or grinding
• Always use dust extraction or suppression systems which are suitable for
the material being processed
Repetitive Motions Hazards
• When using this tool to perform work-related activities, the operator can
experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts
of the body
• While using this tool, the operator should adopt a comfortable posture
whilst maintaining secure footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance
postures. The operator should change posture during extended tasks; this
can help avoid discomfort and fatigue
• If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning
sensations or stiffness, these warning signs should not be ignored.
The operator should inform the employer and consult a qualified health
professional
Accessory Hazards
• Disconnect the tool from the energy supply before fitting or changing the
inserted tool or accessory
• Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during and after use, as it can
be hot or sharp
• Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool; do not use other types or
sizes of accessories or consumables
• Check that the maximum operating speed of the inserted tool is higher
than the rated speed of the tool
Workplace Hazards
• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware
of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also of trip hazards
caused by the air line or hydraulic hose
• This tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and
is not insulated against contact with electric power
• Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which can
cause a hazard if damaged by use of the tool
Dust and Fume Hazards
• Dust and fumes generated when using this tool can cause ill health
(for example cancer, birth 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 this tool as recommended in these instructions, to
minimise dust or fume emissions
• Direct the exhaust so as to minimise disturbance of dust in a dust-filled
environment
• Where dust or fumes are created, the priority should be to control them
at the point of emission
• All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or
suppression of airborne dust or 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 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 can include actions such as
damping materials to prevent workpieces from ‘ringing’
• Use hearing protection in accordance with 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/inserted tool as
recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary
increase in noise
• If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working
order when the tool is being operated
Vibration Hazards
This information 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 28927-3 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 machine, inform your employer and
consult a physician
• Operate and maintain the machine 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
