Additional Safety Instructions For Pneumatic Power Tools; Grinding Tool Safety - Silverline 783100 Traducción Del Manual Original

783100
• Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to handle the
bulk, weight and power of the tool
• Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements
and have both hands available
• Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing
• Release the start-and-stop device in the case of an interruption of the energy
supply
• Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer
• Personal protective safety glasses should be used; suitable gloves and
protective clothing are recommended
• Inspect the accessory before each use. Do not use if cracked or broken or if it
has been dropped
• Avoid direct contact with moving parts in order to prevent pinching or cutting of
hands or other body parts. Wear suitable gloves to protect hands
• Never start the tool when the abrasive is applied to the workpiece
• There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if used on plastic and other non-
conductive materials
• Potentially explosive atmospheres can be caused by dust and fumes resulting
from sanding or grinding
• Always use dust extraction or suppression systems which are suitable for the
material being processed
Repetitive Motions Hazards
• When using this tool to perform work-related activities, the operator can
experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of
the body
• While using this tool, the operator should adopt a comfortable posture whilst
maintaining secure footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance postures. The
operator should change posture during extended tasks; this can help avoid
discomfort and fatigue
• If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring
discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning sensations or
stiffness, these warning signs should not be ignored. The operator should inform
the employer and consult a qualified health professional
Accessory Hazards
• Disconnect the tool from the energy supply before fitting or changing the
inserted tool or accessory
• Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during and after use, as it can be
hot or sharp
• Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are
recommended by the manufacturer of this tool; do not use other types or sizes
of accessories or consumables
• Check that the maximum operating speed of the inserted tool is higher than the
rated speed of the tool
Workplace Hazards
• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of slippery
surfaces caused by use of the tool and also of trip hazards caused by the air
line or hydraulic hose
• This tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not
insulated against contact with electric power
• Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which can cause a
hazard if damaged by use of the tool
Dust and Fume Hazards
• Dust and fumes generated when using this tool can cause ill health (for
example cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk assessment and
implementation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential
• Risk assessment should include dust created by the use of the tool and the
potential for disturbing existing dust
• Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in these instructions, to
minimise dust or fume emissions
• Direct the exhaust so as to minimise disturbance of dust in a dust-filled
environment
• Where dust or fumes are created, the priority should be to control them at the
point of emission
• All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or suppression
of airborne dust or fumes should be correctly used and maintained in
accordance with the manufacturer's instructions
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in
the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in dust or fumes

• Use respiratory protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as
required by occupational health and safety regulations
Noise Hazards
• Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and
other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the
ears). Therefore, risk assessment and implementation of appropriate controls
for these hazards are essential
• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk can include actions such as damping
materials to prevent workpieces from 'ringing'
• Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as
required by occupational health and safety regulations
• Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instruction handbook, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in the noise level
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in
the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise
• If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working order
when the tool is being operated
Vibration Hazards
This information shall draw attention to vibration hazards that have not been
eliminated by design and construction and remain as residual vibration risks.
It shall enable employers to identify the circumstances in which the operator is
likely to be at risk from vibration exposure If the vibration-emission value obtained
using ISO 28927-3 does not adequately represent the vibration emission in the
intended uses (and foreseeable misuses) of the machine, additional information
and/or warnings shall be supplied to enable the risks arising from vibration to be
assessed and managed.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood
supply of the hands and arms
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your hands
warm and dry
• If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in your
fingers or hands, stop using the machine, inform your employer and consult
a physician
• Operate and maintain the machine as recommended in the instruction
handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels
• Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand
reaction forces, because the risk from vibration is generally greater when the
grip force is higher
Additional Safety Instructions for
Pneumatic Power Tools
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool from
air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when making
repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose
hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock pins should
be installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used to safeguard against
possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose

Grinding Tool Safety

• Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment. When using a grinder,
adequate eye protection, ear defenders and breathing protection must be worn
• Grinding tool accessories must be mounted, used and stored in compliance with
the manufacturer's recommendations
• Use the correct type of cutting or grinding accessory for the task and material
being worked on. Check the label on the accessory to find out if it is appropriate
to use on the workpiece
• The maximum speed of the accessory must always be higher than the
maximum speed of the machine on which they are mounted
• Do not use any form of spacers or adapters in an attempt to make an incorrectly
sized accessory fit your machine
