1.6 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.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There can be hidden hazards, such as electricity or other
utility lines.
• The 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.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.

1.7 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 the
implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may 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.
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in the instruction handbook,
to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.

1.8 Vibration Hazards

• 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 tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
• Where possible Support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, because a lighter grip can
then be used to support the tool.

1.9 Additional Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Power Tools

• The operating supply air must not exceed 7 bar (100 PSI).
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect air hose when tool is 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.
• Prior to use, inspect airlines for damage, all connections must be secure. Do not drop heavy objects on
hoses. A sharp impact may cause internal damage and lead to premature hose failure.
• Cold air shall be directed away from hands.
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins shall be installed and whipcheck
safety cables shall be used to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure.
• DO NOT lift the placing tool by the hose. Always use the placing tool handle.
• Vent holes must not become blocked or covered.
• Keep dirt and foreign matter out of the hydraulic system of the tool as this will cause the tool to
malfunction.
