1.12 Additional safety 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�
» Do not exceed the maximum air pressure
stated on the tool�
» Whenever universal twist couplings (claw
couplings) are used, lock pins shall be
installed and whip check safety cables
shall be used to safeguard against
possible hose-to-tool connection failure�
» Never carry an air tool by the hose�

1.13 Kickback and related warnings

» Kickback is a sudden reaction to a
pinched or snagged rotating wheel,
sanding disc, grinding stone or any other
accessory�
» Pinching or snagging causes rapid
stalling of the rotating accessory which
in turn causes the uncontrolled tool to
be forced in the direction opposite of the
accessory's rotation�
» Kickback is the result of tool misuse and/
or incorrect operating procedures or
conditions and can be avoided by taking
proper precautions�
» Maintain a firm grip on the tool and
position your body and arm to allow you
to resist kickback forces� The operator
can control kickback forces, if proper
precautions are taken�
» Use special care when working corners,
sharp edges etc� Avoid bouncing and
snagging the accessory� Corners, sharp
edges or bouncing have a tendency to
snag the rotating accessory and cause
loss of control or kickback�
» Do not attach a toothed saw blade� Such
blades create frequent kickback and loss
of control�
» Always feed the bit into the material in
the same direction as the cutting edge
is exiting from the material (which is the
same direction as the chips are thrown)�
Feeding the tool in the wrong direction
causes the cutting edge of the bit to
climb out of the work and pull the tool in
the direction of this feed�

1.14 Safety of grinding tools

» Always try to hold the tool with both
hands during operation�
» Ensure that the workpiece is kept at waist
height where possible� Never use the
tool between the legs whilst sitting on the
floor�
» Ensure that sparks and particles resulting
from use do not create a hazard� Use
screens where appropriate�
» Never bump the grinding stones onto the
workpiece, or let it hit any other objects
while grinding�
» Always allow the tool to run up to full
operating speed before applying it to the
material being worked on�
» Use clamps, or vices to hold the
workpiece� Failure to secure the
workpiece could result in serious personal
injury�
» Do not position your hand in line with and
behind the rotating disc� When the disc,
at the point of operation, is moving away
from your hand, the possible kickback
may propel the spinning wheel and the
tool directly at you�
» Do not restart grinding in the workpiece
until the disc reaches full speed then
carefully re-enter� The disc may bind,
walk up or kickback if the tool is restarted
in the workpiece�
