Silverline 282400 Manual De Instrucciones página 9

• Do not use the tool if it has been damaged.
• Inspect the tool periodically to verify that the ratings and markings required by ISO 11148
(detailed in the Description of Symbols) are legibly marked on the tool. The user (and employer
if appropriate) should contact the manufacturer to obtain replacement marking labels when
necessary.
• Compressed air can cause severe injury.
• Always disconnect the tool from the air supply when not in use.
• Always disconnect the tool from the compressed air supply before changing accessories, making
adjustments and/or repairs and when moving away from an operating area to a different area.
• Keep fingers away from trigger when not operating the tool and when moving from one
operating position to another.
• Never direct compressed air at yourself, others or animals.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses or fittings.
• Never carry or drag an air tool by its hose.
• When using air tools, do not exceed the maximum operating pressure.
• Inspect tools and accessories before each use. Do not use if damaged or excessively worn.
• Air tools should only be powered by compressed air at the lowest pressure required by the task to
reduce noise and vibration and minimise wear.
• Never use pure oxygen or combustible gases to power an air tool. Air tools are not designed for
these power sources and their use creates a fire and explosion hazard.
• Be aware that air tools may become cold during use, affecting grip, control and susceptibility to
vibration-related injury.
IMPORTANT: Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to the safe use of this tool, do not use it.
Projectile Hazards
a) Be aware that failure of the workpiece, accessories, or tool itself can generate high-velocity
projectiles.
b) Always wear impact-resistant eye protection during operation of this tool. The grade of protection
required should be assessed for each use.
c) Assess risk to others when considering projectile hazard risk.
d) Ensure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
e) The fastener driving tool shall be disconnected when unloading fasteners, making adjustments,
clearing jams or changing accessories.
f) Ensure that fasteners penetrate material correctly and cannot be deflected/misfired towards
operator and/or any bystanders.
g) Be careful when firing fasteners into thin material or at the edge of material. The fasteners may
go straight through or miss the material and cause damage or injury to people nearby.
h) During operation, debris from workpiece and fastening/collation system may be discharged.
i) Ensure tool is always safely engaged on the workpiece and cannot slip.
Operating Hazards
a) Ensure users and maintenance personnel are physically able to handle the bulk, weight and
power of the tool.
b) Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements such as recoil. Have
both hands available.
c) Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
d) Only use lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.
e) Personal protective safety glasses should be used; suitable gloves and protective clothing are
recommended.
f) For overhead work, wear a safety helmet.
g) Avoid direct contact with moving parts to prevent injury by pinching or cutting.
h) Be aware that there is a risk of electrostatic discharge if used on plastic and other non-conductive
materials. Take appropriate steps to reduce this risk when working with these materials (e.g.
using a grounding system).
i) Be aware that certain materials may present fire or explosion risks when being processed. Take
appropriate precautions to reduce hazards. Employers should make risks clear to operators.
j) Switch off device / release start-and-stop control if the air / power supply is interrupted.
k) Never operate the tool with the safety mechanism disabled.
l) Never use the tool if defective or operating abnormally. Stop using immediately and have the
tool serviced by an authorised service centre.
m) Be careful when handling fasteners, especially when loading and unloading, as the fasteners
have sharp points which could cause injury.
n) Incorrect fasteners not designed or the incorrect size for your tool can cause operator injury and
damage to the tool.
o) Only wear gloves that provide adequate feel and safe control of triggers and any adjusting
devices.

Repetitive Motions Hazards
When using the tool the user may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck or
other parts of the body.
a) Adopt a comfortable posture whilst maintaining secure footing and avoiding awkward or
off-balance postures. Change posture during extended tasks; this can help avoid discomfort and
fatigue.
b) Symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling,
numbness, burning sensations or stiffness should not be ignored. Inform employer if
appropriate and consult a qualified health professional.
Accessory Hazards
a) Disconnect the tool from the air supply before fitting or changing the accessory.
b) Avoid direct contact with the accessory during and after use. Accessories are often sharp and may
become hot during use.
c) Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommended by the
manufacturer of the tool; do not use other types or sizes of accessories or consumables.
Work Area Hazards
a) Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and trip hazards caused by the air line.
Slips, trips and falls are major causes of injury.
b) Where possible do not obstruct thoroughfares and passageways with air lines or cables. Take
appropriate measures to reduce trip risk such as erecting warning signs and fixing cables and air
lines in place.
c) Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings to minimise risk from hidden hazards such as
utility lines.
d) The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against
contact with electric power.
e) Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which could cause a hazard if damaged
by use of the tool.
f) Keep bystanders away (when working in an area where there is a likelihood of through traffic of
people). Clearly mark off your operating area.
Noise Hazards
Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems,
such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). Risk assessment and use of
appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
a) Use appropriate controls to reduce the risk of noise-related injury. These can include actions such
as damping materials to prevent workpieces from 'ringing' .
b) Use hearing protection in accordance with any employer's instructions and as required by
occupational health and safety regulations.
c) Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instructions to prevent an unnecessary
increase in the noise level.
d) Select, maintain and replace the consumable / accessory as recommended in the instructions, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.
e) Where a silencer is available, ensure it is in place and in good working order when the tool is
being operated.
f) Take steps to reduce noise in the work area where possible (e.g. by using damping mats).
Vibration Hazards
Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands
and arms. Not all vibration hazards can be eliminated by tool design or construction, and some
residual risks remain. Check the vibration-emission value (obtained using ISO 28927-3) shown in
the specification table. Ensure the risk it represents is assessed and managed. If the risk cannot be
managed so that it falls within acceptable limits, then do not use the tool.
Take the following steps to reduce risk of vibration-related injury:
a) Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions. Keep hands warm and dry.
b) If numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin of fingers or hands is experienced, stop
using the tool, inform employer (where appropriate) and consult a qualified health professional.
c) Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instructions to prevent an unnecessary
increase in vibration levels.
d) Where appropriate, support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer.
e) The risk from vibration is generally greater when the grip force is higher. Hold the tool with a
light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction forces.
f) Ensure the tool and accessories are properly mounted and in good repair: improperly mounted
or damaged tools can cause excessive vibration.
