Hazards In The Workplace; Hazards Caused By Dust And Vapours; Hazards Caused By Noise - Parkside PDSS 16 A1 Traduccion Del Manual De Instrucciones Originale

Hazards in the workplace

■ Slipping, tripping up and falling are the main
causes of injuries in the workplace . Pay atten-
tion to surfaces that may have become slippery
from the use of the compressed air tool and
tripping hazards caused by air or the hydraulic
hose .
■ Proceed with caution in unknown surroundings .
Hidden hazards caused by power or other
supply lines may be present .
■ This compressed air tool is not suitable for use
in explosive atmospheres and is not insulated
against contact with power sources .
■ Make sure (e .g . by using a metal detector) that
there are no hidden power, water or gas lines
in the location where you are working .

Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The dusts and vapours produced by using the
machines for screw connections can be hazard-
ous to health (e .g . cause cancer, birth defects,
asthma and/or dermatitis); it is essential to
carry out a risk assessment in respect of these
risks and to implement corresponding regula-
tory mechanisms .
■ The risk assessment should include the dust
caused by using the machine and any existing
dust that may be raised at the same time .
■ The compressed air tool is to be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual to keep the
release of dust and vapours to a minimum .
■ The exhaust air should be extracted so that the
minimum amount of dust is raised in an already
dusty environment .
■ If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority
must be to control these at the site of their re-
lease .
■ All components of the compressed air tool or
accessories intended for collecting, extracting
or suppressing airborne dust or vapours or
should be used and serviced properly in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's instructions .

■ Consumables/tools should be selected, main-
tained and replaced in accordance with the
recommendations in this guide in order to avoid
unnecessary intensification of dust or vapour
production .
■ Use a dust mask as per the instructions provided
by your employer or as required by health and
safety regulations .
■ Working with certain materials can lead to
emissions of dust and vapours that are poten-
tially explosive .

Hazards caused by noise

■ Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuffi-
cient hearing protection may lead to permanent
hearing damage, loss of hearing and other
problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or humming in your ears) .
■ It is essential to carry out a risk assessment with
regard to these hazards and implement suitable
control mechanisms .
■ Suitable control mechanisms include measures
such as the use of insulating materials to avoid
ringing noises from occurring on the work-
pieces .
■ Use hearing protection as required by work and
health safety regulations .
■ The compressed air tool is to be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in these instructions in order
to reduce any unnecessary increase of the noise
levels .
■ Consumables and the tool should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in these instructions in
order to avoid any unnecessary increase of the
noise levels .
■ The integrated silencer may not be removed
and must be in good working order .
