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
• 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 sawing
• 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
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 sander or polisher, 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
Specific Safety
Additional Safety Instructions for Pneumatic 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
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins should be installed and
whipcheck safety cables should 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
