Precautions
•
If the tool is left unattended with the air hose
connected, it can be started by unauthorised
individuals and cause personal injury.
•
Always disconnect the air hose when the tool
is not in use. Store the tool out of the reach
of children and inexperienced individuals.
•
Pneumatic tools can throw out mounting
pieces or other objects.
•
Only use parts, mounting pieces and
accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer.
•
Keep the work area clean. Keep children and
onlookers at a safe distance when using the
tool.
•
Make sure the work area is well lit.
•
Loose keys, spanners and other tools that
are left attached to a rotating part of the tool
may result in injury.
•
Do not use tyre filling nozzles when blow
cleaning.
•
Serious injury can occur if a pneumatic tool
is started by mistake during maintenance or
tool changing.
•
Always disconnect the air hose before
lubrication and before assembling the tool
and/or accessories.
•
Never carry the tool by the hose.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the
tool with your finger on the trigger when the
tool is connected to the compressed air
supply.
•
Repairs must only be carried out by an
authorised service centre.
•
Compressed air tools can cause the
workpiece to move on contact, which can
result in personal injury.
•
Secure the workpiece with clamps or similar,
so that it cannot move.
•
Carelessness or lack of concentration can
cause you to lose control of the tool, which
can result in personal injury.
•
Never use compressed air tools if you are
under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication.
•
Do not overreach. Always maintain a firm
footing and good balance.
•
Keep the handles clean, dry and free from oil
and grease.
•
Pay attention to what you are doing. Always
be careful when using the equipment. Use
your common sense. Do not use the tool if
you are tired.
•
Tools and accessories (such as grinding
discs, chisels, sockets, drills, nail guns,
staple guns) of a poor quality, or that are
damaged or unsuitable for the purpose, can
shatter during use, throwing out parts and
causing serious injury.
•
Only use tools and accessories that are
designed for the tool’s rated speed.
•
Never use tools that have been dropped,
exposed to knocks or bumps, or that are
damaged.
•
Only use sockets that are approved for
impact tools together with impact wrenches.
•
Do not overload the tool. Let the tool do the
work.
