Threats associated with vapours and dusts
Dust and vapours generated when using pneumatic tool may cause bad health condition (for example a cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or skin
infl ammation), indispensable are: risk assessment and implementation of proper control measures in relation to these threats. Risk assessment
should include eff ect of dust generated by tool and possibility of stirring the existing dust. Air outfl ow should be directed in such a way as to minimize
stirring of dust in dusty environment. In environment of dust or vapours, the priority is to control them at the source of emission. All integrated
functionalities and accessories for collecting, extracting or minimizing dust or smoke should be properly utilized and maintained pursuant to
manufacturer's recommendations. Use respiratory tract protectors, in accordance with employer's instructions and in compliance with hygiene and
safety requirements. Operation and maintenance of pneumatic tool should be carried out in accordance with instructions contained in user manual,
this will allow minimizing the emission of vapours and dust. Select, maintain and replace tools inserted in accordance with instructions contained
in user manual, to prevent increase in quantity of vapours and dust. Processing of some materials may cause generating vapours and dusts that
will pose a threat of explosion.
Threat of noise
Exposure, without protections, to high level of noise may cause permanent and irreversible loss of hearing and other problems, such as noise
in ears (sounding, buzzing, whistling or humming in ears). Risk assessment is indispensable, as well as implementation of appropriate control
measures in relation to these threats. Right controls in order to minimize the risk may include activities such as: muffl ing materials that prevent
"sounding" of object being processed. Use ear protectors, in accordance with employer's instructions and in compliance with hygiene and safety
requirements. Operation and maintenance of pneumatic tool should be carried out in accordance with instructions contained in user manual,
this will avoid unnecessary increase in noise level. If a pneumatic tool is fi tted with a muffl er, always make sure that it is properly installed when
operating the tool. Select, maintain and replace worn-out inserted tools used in accordance with instructions of user manual. This will allow avoiding
unnecessary noise increase.
Threats of oscillations
Exposure to oscillations may cause long-term damage of nerves and blood vessels in hands and arms. Keep your hands away from screwdriver's
sockets. Dress warm clothes when working at low temperatures and keep your hands warm and dry. In case of numbness, pain or whitening of skin
of fi ngers and hand, stop using the pneumatic tool, than inform your employer and consult with physician. Operation and maintenance of pneumatic
tool in accordance with instructions contained in user manual, will allow avoiding unnecessary increase in oscillation level. Do not use worn-out
and badly matching adapters, as they may cause signifi cant increase in oscillation level. Select, maintain and replace worn-out inserted tools used
in accordance with instructions contained in user manual. This will allow avoiding unnecessary increase in oscillation level. Wherever possible,
covering assembly should be applied. If possible, the weight of tool should be supported on the rack, tensioner or equivalent. Grab the tool lightly
but securely, taking into account the required counter forces, since the threat posed by oscillations is usually higher, when the gripping force is
higher. Improperly installed or damaged tool inserted many cause increase in oscillation level.
Additional safety instructions regarding the pneumatic tools
Compressed air may cause serious injuries:
- always cut off air supply, empty the hose from air pressure and disconnect the tool from air supply, when: it is not used, before the replacement
of accessories or during repairs;
- never direct the air towards yourself or other persons.
Hitting by hose may cause serious injuries. Always carry out inspection with regard to damaged or loose hoses and connectors. Cold air should
be directed away from hands.
Each time when the universal screwed connectors are used (claw connections), use protective spindles and protective connectors against
possibility of damaging the connections between hoses and between the hose and the tool. Do not exceed the maximum pressure specifi ed on the
tool. Never move the toll by keeping the hose.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Make sure that the source of compressed air allows generating proper operating pressure and provides the required air fl ow. In the case of too high
pressure of supply air use pressure regulator with safety valve. Pneumatic tool should be supplied through fi lter and lubricator system. This will
ensure cleanliness and air humidifi cation at the same time. Condition of fi lter and lubricator should be checked before each use, and possibly fi lter
should be cleaned or oil in lubricator should be refi lled. This will ensure proper operation of tool and extends its service life.
In case of using additional tool chucks or supporting racks, make sure that the tool was properly and securely attached..
