General Safety Instructions

reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all safety warnings and instruc-
tions may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious
injury.
12 І 164
Keep all safety instructions and information for fu-
ture reference. Pass on your air tool only together with
these documents.
• The user or user's employer must evaluate the spe-
cific risks associated with each application of the tool.
• You must read and understand the safety instruc-
tions before installing, operating, repairing or main-
taining the tool, and also before replacing any acces-
sory parts or carrying out any work in the vicinity of
the air tool. Failure to read and follow the instructions
may lead to serious injury.
• Only qualified, trained operators are authorised to
install, adjust or use the air tool.
• The air tool must not be modified. Any modifications
implemented may reduce the efficiency of the safety
measures and increase risks for the operator.
• Never use air tools that have been damaged. Look
after your air tools carefully. Regularly check that all
moving parts are functioning correctly without jam-
ming. Also regularly ensure that no parts are broken
or damaged to an extent that they affect the opera-
tion of the air tool. Check that all signs and labels are
legible and intelligible. Have damaged parts repaired
or replaced before using the tool. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained air tools.

Special Safety Instructions

Risks associated with ejected parts
• Disconnect the air tool from the compressed air sup-
ply before replacing the mounted tool or accessory
parts, and also before carrying out repairs or settings.
• If either the workpiece, accessory parts or the air tool
breaks, parts may be ejected at high speed.
• While operating, maintaining or repairing the air tool,
or replacing accessory parts, you must always wear
impact-resistant safety goggles. The degree of pro-
tection required for each individual task must be eval-
uated separately in each case.
• Wear a safety helmet if carrying out work above your
head. Also ensure that no other people are placed
at risk.
• Ensure that the workpiece is securely attached.
• Only switch on the air tool after the mounted tool has
been locked correctly in the air tool with the locking
device.
• To avoid injury, all parts of the locking device display-
ing signs of wear, or that are broken or bent, must
be replaced.
• Place the mounted tool firmly on the surface to be
worked on before switching on the air tool.
Risks during operation
• When using the air tool, the operator's hands may be
exposed to potential risk of impacts, cuts, abrasions
and heat. To protect your hands, wear suitable gloves.
• The operator and maintenance staff must be physi-
cally capable of handling the size, weight and power
output of the air tool.
• Make sure you hold the air tool correctly: be prepared
to counter both routine and unexpected movements,
so keep both hands ready.
