■
To support the weight of the machine, use a
stand, clamp or a balancing unit wherever
possible .
■
Hold the machine securely but not too firmly
while maintaining the necessary hand-reaction
force, as the vibration risk generally increases
the harder the machine is held .
■
An inadequately mounted or damaged acces-
sory tool can lead to excessive vibrations .
Additional safety instructions for
pneumatic machines
■
Compressed air can cause serious injuries:
–
When the machine is not in use, the air
supply must always be shut off and the air
hose depressurised . The machine must be
disconnected from the compressed-air
supply before replacing accessories or
when conducting repair work .
–
Never aim the airflow at yourself or anyone
else .
■
Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury .
Therefore, always check whether the hoses and
their fixings are undamaged and have not
come loose .
■
Cold air must be directed away from the hands .
■
Do not use any quick-lock couplings on the
tool inlet for impact and impulse drills . For hose
connections with a thread, always only use
those made of tempered steel (or a material
with comparable impact resistance) .
■
If universal rotary joints (claw couplings) are
used, locking pins must be inserted and Whip-
check hose restraints must be used to provide
protection in the case of a failure of the connec-
tion between the hose and the machine .
■
Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure
on the machine is not exceeded .
■
For torque-controlled machines with continu-
ous rotation, the air pressure has effects on
performance that are relevant in terms of safety .
Requirements for the length and diameter of the
hose must therefore be defined .
■
Never carry pneumatic machines by the hose .

Additional safety notices
■
If applicable, observe special work safety or
accident prevention regulations for the handling
of compressors and compressed-air tools .
■
Ensure that the maximum permissible working
pressure specified in the Technical Data is not
exceeded .
■
Do not overload this tool – use this tool only
within the capacity range specified in the
Technical Data .
■
Use safe lubricants . Ensure sufficient ventilation
at the place of work . In case of increased
discharge:
check the compressed-air tool and have it
repaired if necessary .
■
Do not use this tool if you are distracted . Be
alert, watch what you are doing and use com-
mon sense when operating a compressed-air
tool . Do not use tools when you feel tired or are
under influence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion . A moment of inattention when operating
the tool can result in serious personal injuries .
■
Keep work area clean and well lit . Cluttered or
dark areas invite accidents .
■
Keep compressed-air tools out of reach of
children .
■
Do not store outdoors or in damp environments
without protection .
■
Protect the compressed-air tool, in particular
the compressed air connection and operating
elements against dust and dirt .
