instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your air tool only together with these docu-
ments.
- The user or user's employer must evaluate the
specific risks associated with each application of
the tool.

install, adjust or use the air tool.
- The air tool must not be modified. Any modifica-
tions implemented may reduce the efficiency of
the safety measures and increase risks for the
operator.

after your air tools carefully. Regularly check that
all moving parts are functioning correctly and do
not jam. Also ensure that no parts are broken or
damaged to an extent that they affect the opera-
tion of the air tool. Check that all signs and labels
are legible and intelligible. Have damaged parts
repaired or replaced before using the device.

air tools.
4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1 Risks associated with ejected parts
- Disconnect the air tool from the compressed air
supply before replacing the mounted tool or
accessory parts, and also before carrying out
repairs or settings.
- If either the workpiece, accessory parts or the air
tool breaks, parts may be ejected at high speed.
- While operating, maintaining or repairing the air
tool, or replacing accessory parts, you must
always wear impact-resistant safety goggles. The
degree of protection required for each individual
task must be evaluated separately in each case.
- Also ensure that no other people are placed at
risk.
4.2 Risks during operation
- The operator and maintenance staff must be
physically capable of handling the size, weight
and power output of the air tool.
- Make sure you hold the air tool correctly: since
you must be prepared to counter any standard or
unexpected movements, keep both hands ready.
- Ensure you stand in a safe position and keep your
balance at all times.
- Avoid accidental operation. If the air supply is
interrupted, switch off the air tool using the On/Off
switch.

by the manufacturer.
- Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear safety glasses. By wearing personal protec-
tive equipment such as gloves, protective
clothing, a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a
safety helmet or ear protectors, to suit the type of
device and its use, you reduce the risk of injury.
Wearing this equipment is recommended.
