dations. Make sure, that sparks and debris created during operation do not cause hazards. Disconnect the tool from its power supply before changing the inserted tool or before
maintenance. You must constantly take into account the risk to bystanders.
Risks of getting tangled
The risk of getting tangled may cause choking, scalping and/or injury, when loose clothing, jewelry, hair or gloves are not kept away from tools or accessories.
The risks associated with the work
To prevent cuts of hands and other parts of the body. avoid contact with a rotating spindle and the inserted tool. Use of the tool may expose the operator’s hands for threats, such as
crushing, impact, cut-off , abrasion and heat. You should dress appropriate gloves to protect your hands. The operator and maintenance personnel should be physically able to cope
with the quantity, the weight and power of the tool. Grip the tool properly. Be ready to withstand normal or unexpected movements and always keep both hands ready. Keep balance
and to ensure the safe foot positioning. Wear safety glasses, it recommended to use tight gloves and protective clothing. Do not use the rotary fi le at a speed which is exceeding the
speed rating. When you are working with tool over your head, use protective helmet. Be careful because the inserted tool is spinning for some time after the release of the actuator.
Depending on the workpiece, you should take into account the risks of explosion or fi re.
The risks associated with repetitive movements
During the application of the pneumatic tool for work consisting of the repetition of movements, the operator is exposed to experience discomfort in hands, arms, shoulders, neck or
other parts of the body. In the case of use of pneumatic tool, the operator should take a comfortable posture for correct setting of feet and should avoid postures, that are strange or
not providing the balance. The operator should change posture during the long work, this will help to avoid discomfort and fatigue. If the operator is experiencing symptoms such as:
persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, pulsed pain, tingling, numbness, burning or stiff ness. Operator should not ignore them, should tell the employer about it and consult a doctor.
The risks associated with accessories
Disconnect tool from the power supply before changing the inserted tool or accessory.
Use accessories and supplies only in sizes and types, which are recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use accessories in other sizes and types. Avoid direct contact with the
inserted tool during or immediately after work, it can be hot or sharp.
Check whether the maximum speed of the inserted tool is greater than the rated speed of a sander or polisher. Check whether the maximum speed of the inserted tool is greater than
the rated speed of the tool. You should never mount a grinding wheel, cutting wheel or milling cutter on the tool grinding machine. The grinding wheel, which has been done damaged
can cause very serious injury or death. Do not use cracked or broken wheels or wheels that have been dropped. Use only the allowed inserted tools of an appropriate diameter of
the mandrel. Please pay attention, that the rotational speed of the installation point must be reduced due to the increase in the lshaft ength between the end of the sleeve, and the
installation point. Make sure, that the minimum length of the mandrel which is clamped in the tool holder is at least 10 mm (you should also take into account the recommendations
of the manufacturer of inserted tool). Beware of errors by adjusting the diameter of the mandrel of inserted tools and clamping of the pneumatic tool.
Risks associated with the workplace
Slips, trips and falls are the main causes of injuries. Beware of slippery surfaces caused by the use of tools, and threats of tripping caused by the pneumatic system. Proceed with
caution in an unknown environment. There may be hidden threats, such as electricity or other utility lines. Pneumatic tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres
and is not isolated from contact with electricity. Make sure, that there are no electric wires, gas pipes, etc., that can cause a threat in the event of their damage by using the tool.
Hazards arising from vapors and dust
Dust and fumes caused by using a pneumatic tool can cause bad health condition (such as cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or infl ammation of the skin). There are necessary: a
risk assessment and implementation of appropriate control measures in relation to those risks. The risk assessment should include the eff ect of dust created by using tools and the
possibility of excitation of the existing dust. The air outlet must be aimed to minimize generating dust in a dusty environment. Where dust or fumes are created, priority should be to
control them at the source of their emission. All integrated functions and equipment for collection, extraction or reduction of dust or fume should be properly operated and maintained
in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendations. Wear suitable respiratory protective equipment, in accordance with the instructions of an employer and in accordance with the
requirements of hygiene and safety. Service and maintenance of the pneumatic tool should be carried out according to the recommendations of the manual, this will minimize the
emission of fumes and dust. You should select, maintain and exchange inserted tools according to the manual, to prevent increase of and dust. Treatment of certain materials can
cause fumes and dust, that produce a risk of explosion.
Noise hazard
Exposure, without any protection, for high noise levels can cause permanent and irreversible hearing loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzz, whistling or humming
in the ears). It is necessary to perform the risk assessment and implement appropriate control measures in relation to those risks. The appropriate checks, performed in order to
reduce the risk, may include activities such as: application of insulation materials to prevent the “ringing” of the workpiece. Use hearing protection in accordance with the instructions
