Air tool safety
• Never direct the airflow against yourself or other
persons close by, and conduct cold air away from your
hands� Compressed air can lead to serious injuries�
• Check the connections and the air supply lines�
All maintenance units, couplers, and hoses should
conform to the product specifications in terms of
pressure and air volume� Too low pressure impairs the
function of the air tool; too high pressure can result in
material damage and personal injury�
• Protect the hoses from kinks, restrictions, solvents,
and sharp edges� Keep the hoses away from heat, oil,
and rotating parts� Immediately replace a damaged
hose� A defective air supply line may result in a wild
compressed-air hose and can cause personal injury�
Raised dust or chips may cause serious eye injury�
• Make sure that hose clamps are always tightened
firmly. Loose or damaged hose clamps may result in
uncontrolled air escape�
Personal safety
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a air tool� Do not use
a air tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication� A moment of inattention while
operating a air tool may result in personal injury�
• Use personal protective equipment. Always wear
eye protection. Wearing personal protective equipment
such as a respirator, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat
or hearing protection - according to the instructions of
your employer or as required by the provisions for work
and health protection, reduces the risk of personal
injury�
• Prevent unintentional starting� Make sure that the
air tool is switched off before connecting it to the air
supply, picking it up or carrying it. When your finger
is on the on / off switch while carrying the air tool or
when connecting the air tool to the air supply while it is
switched on, accidents can occur�
• Remove any adjustment tools before switching on
the air tool� A wrench or key left attached to a rotating
part of a air tool may result in personal injury�
• Do not overreach� Keep proper footing and balance
at all times� This enables better control of the air tool in
unexpected situations�
• 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�
• If devices are provided for the connection of dust
extraction and collection facilities, ensure these are
connected and properly used� Use of dust collection
can reduce dust-related hazards�
• Do not directly inhale the exhaust air� Avoid exposing
the eyes to exhaust air� The air tool's exhaust air can
contain water, oil, metal particles and debris from the
compressor� This can cause damage to one's health�
Air tool use and care
• Use the clamping devices or a vice to secure and
support the workpiece� Holding the workpiece by hand
or against your body will not allow for safe operation
of the air tool�
• Do not overload the air tool� Use the air tool intended
for your work� The correct air tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed�
• Do not use a air tool that has a defective on / off
switch� A air tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired�
• Disconnect the air supply before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or when not using
for extended periods� This safety measure prevents
accidental starting of the air tool�
• Store idle air tools out of the reach of children�
Do not allow persons unfamiliar with the air tool or
these instructions to operate the device� Air tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users�
• Maintain the air tool with care� Check for
misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that may affect the air
tool's operation� Have damaged parts repaired before
using the air tool� Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained air tools�
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean� Properly main-
tained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less
likely to bind and are easier to control�
• Use the air tool, accessories, application tools, etc�
according to these instructions� Take into considera-
tion the working conditions and the activities to be car-
ried out� This reduces the development of dust, vibra-
tions and noise to the greatest extent�
• The air tool should be set up, adjusted or used ex-
clusively by qualified and trained operators.
• The air tool may not be modified in any way. Modi-
fications can reduce the effectivity of the safety meas-
ures and increase the risks for the operator�
Service
Have your air tool repaired only through a qualified re-
pair person and only using original replacement parts�
This will ensure that the safety of the air tool is main-
tained�
Safety instructions
Before commencing work
• People with the appropriate physical form required
to operate the air tool of such size, weight and capac-
ity, are allowed to work with the air tool�
• During operation, as well as repair, maintenance
and replacement of the air tool accessories, it is man-
datory to wear shockproof safety glasses, as in case of
crash of the fastener head, accessories or the air tool
itself, fragments can fly apart at high speed.
• Never turn on the air tool when moving� Rotating
parts of the air tool can wind on clothes or hair that will
result in an injury�
• The air tool handles can be blown off with the com-
pressed air flow that will result in hands cooling, so
always wear protective gloves� The protective gloves
should fit closely, loose gloves can get into the rotating
parts of the air tool causing serious injuries�
• Make sure to monitor the state of the tool holder
and socket wrenches� The damaged tool holder and
socket wrenches (cracks, chippings, etc�) generate the
elevated vibration during the operation, they can also
break down and their pieces, discarded at high speed,
may cause injury�
• Use special detectors to find hidden energy, gas and
water supply systems, or refer to a local public utility
for information. Contact with wiring may cause fire and
an electric shock� Gas pipeline damage can cause an
