4. Special Safety Instructions
4.1
Risks associated with ejected parts
- Disconnect the air tool from the compressed air
supply before replacing the accessory or acces-
sory parts, and also before carrying out repairs or
settings.
- If either the workpiece, accessory parts or the air
tool breaks, parts may be ejected at high speed.
- While operating, maintaining or repairing the air
tool, or replacing accessory parts, you must
always wear impact-resistant safety goggles. The
degree of protection required for each individual
task must be evaluated separately in each case.
- Ensure that the workpiece is secure.
4.2
Risks associated with items catching/
getting entwined
- Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose clothing
or jewellery. Keep hair, clothing and gloves at a
safe distance from the air tool and moving parts.
Loose clothing, jewellery or long hair could catch
in moving parts. There is a risk of injury in this
case.
- Gloves may catch in the rotating drive, cutting or
breaking fingers.
- With rotating drive mounts and extensions, rubber
or metal-reinforced gloves can easily become
caught or entwined.
- Do not wear loose gloves or gloves with torn or
worn fingers.
- Never hold the drive, the mount or the drive exten-
sion directly.
- Keep your hands away from the rotating drive.

be exposed to potential risk of crushing, knocks,
cuts, abrasions and heat damage. To protect your
hands, wear suitable gloves.
- The operator and maintenance staff must be
physically capable of handling the size, weight
and power output of the air tool.
- Make sure you hold the air tool correctly: Be
prepared to counter any standard or unexpected
movements, so keep both hands ready.
- Ensure you stand in a safe position and keep your
balance at all times.
- It is recommended that you use a suspension
device when possible. If this is not an option, it is
recommended that you use side grips for air tools
with a straight grip and air tools with a pistol grip. It
is always recommended that you use aids to
absorb the reaction torque.
