Keep your hands away from the socket drive and the ro-
tating application tool. Never hold a rotating applica-
tion tool or the drive. You could injure yourself.
Be careful when working conditions are tight. Danger
of injury from pinched or caught fingers due to reaction
torque.
The operators and the maintenance personnel must be
physically capable to handle the size, weight and pow-
er of the pneumatic tool.
Be prepared for unexpected movements of the pneu-
matic tool that can develop owing to reaction forces or
breakage of the application tool. Maintain a firm grip
on the pneumatic tool and position your body and arms
to allow you to resist such movements. These precau-
tions can prevent injuries.
Use auxiliary aids to absorb reaction torque, such as a
supporting fixture. If this is not possible, use an auxilia-
ry handle.
In case of an interruption of the air supply or reduced
operating pressure, switch the pneumatic tool off.
Check the operating pressure and start again when the op-
erating pressure is optimal.
When using the pneumatic tool for the performance of
work-related activities, the operator may experience
unpleasant sensations in the hands, arms, shoulders,
neck area or other body parts.
When working with this pneumatic tool, assume a com-
fortable stance, hold the tool securely and avoid unfa-
vourable positions or such positions, where it is diffi-
cult to keep your balance. For prolonged work, the
operator should change the stance or posture, which
can help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
Should the operator perceive symptoms such as persis-
tent nausea, discomfort, throbbing, pain, tingling,
numbness, burning or stiffness, these warning signs
should not be ignored. The operator should notify his
employer about the symptoms and consult a qualified
physician.
Use appropriate detectors to determine if utility lines
are hidden in the work area or call the local utility com-
pany for assistance. Contact with electric lines can lead
to fire and electric shock. Damaging a gas line can lead to
explosion. Penetrating a water line causes property dam-
age.
Avoid contact with "live" conductors. The pneumatic
tool is not insulated; contact with a "live" conductor can
lead to an electric shock.
The dust developing during sanding,
WARNING
sawing, grinding, drilling and similar
operations can act carcinogenic, teratogenic or mutagen-
ic. Some of the substances contained in these dusts are:
–
Lead in lead-based paints and varnishes;
–
Crystalline silica in bricks, cement and other masonry
work;
–
Arsenic and chromate in chemically treated wood.
The risk of disease depends on how often you are ex-
posed to these substances. To reduce the risk, you should

work only in well ventilated rooms with appropriate protec-
tive equipment (e. g. with specially designed respirators that
filter out even the smallest dust particles).
Wear ear protectors. Exposure to noise can cause hear-
ing loss.
When working on the workpiece, additional noise can
develop, which can be avoided through appropriate
measures (e. g. by using damping materials on occur-
rence of ringing noise from the workpiece).
When the pneumatic tool is equipped with a silencer,
always ensure that it is available and in proper working
condition when operating the pneumatic tool.
Vibration effects may cause damage to the nerves and
blood circulation disorders in the hands and arms.
If you notice that the skin of your fingers or hands be-
comes numb, tingles, hurts or turns white, stop work-
ing with the pneumatic tool, notify your employer and
consult a physician.
Do not use worn or poorly fitting socket drives and ex-
tensions. This can lead to intensification of vibrations.
If possible, use a stand, spring pull/balancer or com-
pensation device in order to support the weight of the
pneumatic tool.
Hold the pneumatic tool with a not too firm yet secure
grip, compliant with the required hand-reaction forces.
The vibrations can be intensified the firmer you hold the
tool.
When universal rotary couplings (bayonet couplings)
are being used, retaining pins are required. Use Whip-
check hose restraints to protect against failed hose
connections or the connection between hose and pneu-
matic tool.
Never carry the pneumatic tool by the hose.
If you want to operate the pneumatic tool in a suspen-
sion device or a clamping fixture, take care to fasten it
in the device/fixture first before connecting it to the air
supply. This measure prevents accidental starting of oper-
ation.
