• Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 6.3 bar / 90
psig, or as stated on tool nameplate.
Entanglement hazards
• Keep away from rotating drive. Choking, scalping and /
or lacerations can occur if loose clothing, gloves, jew-
ellery, neck ware and hair are not kept away from tool
and accessories.
Projectile hazards
• Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when involved with or near the operation, repair or
maintenance of the tool or changing accessories on the
tool.
• Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resis-
tant eye and face protection. Even small projectiles can
injure eyes and cause blindness.
• Ensure the workpiece is securely fixed.
Operating hazards
• Clamp the tool securely.
• Ensure the tool is at a complete stop before removing
work.
• Always fit start, stop and emergency stop controls to the
machine into which the motor/torque motor is incorpo-
rated.
Noise hazards
• High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss and
other problems such as tinnitus. Use hearing protection
as recommended by your employer or occupational
health and safety regulations.
• To prevent unnecessary increases in noise levels operate
and maintain the tool, and select, maintain and replace
the accessories and consumables, in accordance with this
instruction manual.
Workplace hazards
• Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or work sur-
face.
• Avoid inhaling dust or fumes or handling debris from the
work process which can cause ill health (for example,
cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis). Use dust
extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment
when working with materials which produce airborne
particles.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemi-
cals known to the State of California to cause cancer and
birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• Lead from lead based paints
• Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other ma-
sonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated rub-
ber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your ex-
posure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area,
and work with approved safety equipment, such as dust
masks that are specially designed to filter out micro-
scopic particles.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware
of potential hazards created by your work activity. This
tool is not insulated from coming into contact with elec-
tric power sources.

ATEX certification information
Temperatures
• The maximum surrounding temperature for which the
certification is valid is 40°C.
• 40°C is also the maximum allowed temperature of the
compressed air when it enters the product.
• If the product is installed in an equipment, the entire
equipment has to correspond to the guidelines 2014/34/
EU.
• Make sure that the compressed air fulfil our quality de-
mands (quality classes 2.4.3. and 3.4.4 respectively 3.5.4
acc. to ISO/DIS 8573-1:2010).
• Do not exceed maximum pressure of 6.3 bar, or as stated
on the product nameplate. Exceeding the operating pres-
sure can increase the surface temperature due to higher
rotating speed and the product can become an ignition
source.
Ex Classification
If the product is part of an assembly where the components
have different Ex classification, the component with the low-
est level of safety defines the Ex classification of the com-
plete assembly.
Explosion prevention guidelines
Cleanliness
• Make sure the product is kept clean from dust and dirt to
prevent increased bearing and surface temperature.
• If using a silencer: Make sure a silencer with a filtering
effect at the air outlet is installed to prevent any friction-
heated particles entering into the surrounding atmos-
phere.
