Health & Safety - Warning & Safety Instructions
Read these instructions carefully:
Whilst Smart
Band and Smart
®
significantly safer than alternative metallic solutions, failure
to follow these instructions can still result in personal injury.
General safety considerations:
1. STRAP BREAKAGE HAZARD
Smart
Band is free from sharp metallic edges however it is important to understand that improper operation of the tool or
®
sharp corners on the load can result in strap breakage during tensioning that could result in the following:
– A sudden loss of balance causing you to fall
– Both tool and strap flying violently towards your face
Failure to place the strap properly around the load, an unstable or shifted load, could result in a sudden loss of strap tension
during tensioning. This could result in a sudden loss of balance causing you to fall.
Positioning yourself in-line with the strap during tensioning, can result in personal injury from flying strap or tool. When
tensioning, position yourself to one side of the strap and keep all bystanders away.
2. STRAP TENSION HAZARD
Smart
Band tools create very high tensions. Ensure body parts cannot be trapped during installation to prevent a crush
®
injury.
3. EYE INJURY HAZARD
Failure to wear safety glasses with side shields can result in eye injury or blindness. Always wear safety glasses
with side shields which conform to ANSI Standard Z87.1 or EN 166.
4. CUT HAZARD
Although the Smart
it is still strongly recommended that the operator wear protective gloves.
5. NOISE HAZARD
When using the tool, ear protection must be worn.
At the operator's position:
– A-weighted sound pressure level, LpA = 80dBA (uncertainty, KpA = 4 dBA)
– A-weighted sound power level, LWA = 91 dBA (uncertainty, KWA = 4 dBA)
– Vibration level is less than 2.5 ms-2.
6. TOOL CARE
(for further information see Maintenance section)
– Always use an FRL (Filter, Regulator, Lubricator) Unit
– Inspect and clean the tool daily. Replace all worn or broken parts
– Lubricate all moving parts approximately every 5000 fitting cycles
– On air powered tools always disconnect the pneumatic connection to the tool when performing part removal and
replacement procedures. NEVER connect a pneumatic source to a disassembled tool unless otherwise specified
– If used in a marine environment, wash off with fresh water after use, allow to dry then spray with light oil and wipe down.
– To avoid tool damage in prolonged use, set the tool up on a counter-balance.
– Never put away a wet or damp tool.
7. WORK AREA
Keep work areas uncluttered and well lit. For prolonged use and to avoid unnecessary strain on your back, set the tool up on
a counter-balance.
