4.8 Risks associated with flying objects
-The staple gun must not be connected when
staples are removed, adjustments are made,
blockages are removed and accessories are
replaced.
-During operation, always ensure that the collection
items penetrate the material correctly and are not
deflected or misdirected towards the user and/or
third parties.
- During operation, fragments can be ejected from
the workpiece or from the fastening or storage
system.
-Always wear shockproof eye protection with side
shields while operating the tool.
-The risk to others/third parties must be assessed
by the user.
-Be careful with tools that do not come into contact
with workpieces, since they can be triggered
unintentionally and injure the user and/or third
parties.
-Ensure that the tool is always safely positioned on
the workpiece and cannot slide off.
4.9 Risks associated with repeated
movements
- When working with the pneumatic tool, you may
experience an uncomfortable sensation in your
hands, arms, shoulders, neck or in other body parts.
-When working with the pneumatic too, adopt a
suitable but ergonomic posture. A secure stand
must be maintained and awkward or unstable
positions must be avoided.
- If carrying out work over an extended period, the
operator should change position occasionally. This
should help to avoid fatigue and any unpleasant
sensation.
-If the user experiences symptoms such as
persistent or recurring discomfort, pain,
palpitations, aching spots, tingling, numbness,
burning sensation or stiffness, these warning
signals should not be ignored. The operator must
advise the employer of these symptoms and consult
a qualified doctor.
4.10 Risks associated with dust and vapours
- The dust and vapours generated when the
pneumatic tool is used may carry health risks (e.g.
cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); it is
therefore imperative that a risk assessment is
carried out in relation to these risks and that suitable
controls are then implemented.
- The risk assessment should take into account both
the dust generated while the pneumatic tool is used
and any existing dust that may be raised during
operation.
- The extracted air must be discharged in such a
way that the minimum of dust is raised in a dust-
filled environment.
- If dust or vapours are generated, the main priority
is to control these at the location where they are
released.

- All built-in or accessory parts on the pneumatic
tool that are designed to collect, extract or prevent
