Noise hazard
Exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent and irreversible hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus (ringing,
buzzing, whistling or humming in ears). A risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate control measures for these
hazards are necessary. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include measures such as silencing materials to prevent the
workpiece from "ringing". Use hearing protection in accordance with the employer's instructions and in accordance with hygiene
and safety requirements. The operation and maintenance of the pneumatic tool must be carried out in accordance with the in-
structions in the manual in order to avoid an unnecessary increase in noise levels. If the pneumatic tool has a silencer, always
make sure that it is installed correctly when using the tool. Select, maintain and replace worn inserted tools in accordance with the
instructions in the manual. This will help avoid an unnecessary increase in noise.
Vibration hazard
Vibration exposure may result permanent damage to the nerves and the blood circulation in the hands and the arms.
Wear warm clothes when working at low temperatures and keep the hands warm and dry. If numbness, tingling, pain or bleaching
occurs in your fi ngers or hands, stop using the pneumatic tool, then inform your employer and consult your doctor. The operation
and maintenance of the pneumatic tool must be carried out in accordance with the instructions in the manual in order to avoid
an unnecessary increase in vibration levels. Do not hold the tool with your free hand, this increases the exposure to vibrations.
Maintain a light and sure grip on the power tool and mind the reaction forces from processing with the power tool. The risk of
vibration is higher the higher is the force of your grip on the power tool. Hold the additional handles in a central position and avoid
pressure on the handle until the tool stops.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools
Pressurised air can cause serious injury:
- always disconnect the air supply, release the air pressure from the hose and disconnect the tool from the air supply when not in
use, before changing accessories or carrying out repairs;
- never point the air stream at yourself or anyone else.
Hitting with the hose can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and connectors. Direct cold air away
from hands.
Never leave the assembled pneumatic system unattended by a person authorised to operate it. Keep children away from the
assembled pneumatic system.
When connecting the tool to the compressed air system, consider the space required for the hose to avoid damaging the hose
or connectors.
Whenever universal screwed connections (dog connections) are used, safety pins and safety connectors must be used to prevent
damage to the connections between the hoses and between the hose and the tool. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure
specifi ed for the tool.
Never carry the tool holding it by the hose.

TOOL OPERATION

Warning! Before each use of the tool, make sure that no parts of the pneumatic system are damaged. If you notice damage,
immediately replace the components with new, undamaged ones. Dry the condensed moisture inside the tool, compressor and
hose before each use of the pneumatic system.
Preparing for operation
If the tool air inlet is not factory-fi tted with a compressed air connector, screw it in using the wrench (II). If a leaking connection
is detected, a PTFE sealing tape must be used and wound over the tool's air intake thread before screwing the connector on.
Without connecting the tool to a compressed air source, check the operation of the switch to ensure that it can be pressed in
without obstruction and that when released returns quickly and automatically to its original position.
Connecting the tool to the pneumatic system
Make sure that the compressed air source generates the correct working pressure and provides the required airfl ow. If the supply
air pressure is too high, a pressure reducer with a safety valve must be used. The pneumatic tool must be fed through the fi lter and
lubricator system. This will ensure that the air is both clean and moistened with oil. Check the condition of the fi lter and lubricator
before each use and clean the fi lter if necessary or make up for oil shortage in the lubricator. This will ensure the correct operation
of the tool and extend its service life. Before connecting the tool to the compressed air supply, adjust the system so that the system
pressure does not exceed the maximum pressure shown on the tool's rating plate.
The fi gure (III) shows the recommended manner of connecting the tool to the pneumatic system. This will ensure the most effi cient
use of the tool and also prolong the tool's service life.
Wear personal protective equipment: eye protection, protective gloves, work clothing and full working shoes with non-slip soles.
Make sure that the on/off switch is not pressed and connect the tool to the power supply. Grasp the main and additional handles
