2.5 Hazards due to accessories
Disconnect the nibblers or shears from the power supply before replacing the machine tool or accessories.
Only use accessories and consumables of the sizes and types recommended by the manufacturer of the
nibblers or shears; do not use other types or sizes of accessories and consumables.
Cutting edges may heat up during use; do not touch them.
Do not use accessories or machine tools that are cracked or deformed.
2.6 Hazards in the workplace
Slips, trips and falls are major causes of injury in the workplace. Be aware of surfaces that may have
become slippery due to the use of the machine and tripping hazards caused by the air hose.
Proceed with caution in unknown environments. There may be hidden hazards from power or other sup-
ply lines.
These nibblers or shears are not intended for use in explosive atmospheres and are not insulated against
contact with electrical power sources;
Make sure that there are no electrical lines, gas pipelines, etc. that could cause a hazard if damaged by
the use of the machine.
2.7 Hazards due to dust and vapours
The dusts and fumes generated by the use of nibblers and shears can cause adverse health effects (such
as cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); it is essential to carry out a risk assessment in relation
to these hazards and implement appropriate regulatory mechanisms.
The risk assessment should include the dusts generated by the use of the machine and any existing dusts
that may be stirred up in the process.
The nibblers or shears shall be operated and maintained in accordance with the recommendations
contained in this manual to minimise the release of dust and fumes.
The exhaust air must be discharged in such a way that the whirling up of dust in dusty environments is
reduced to a minimum.
If dusts or vapours are generated, the main task must be to control them at the point of release.
Any built-in or accessory parts of the machine designed to collect, extract or suppress flying dust or fumes
should be used and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
The consumables/machine tools shall be selected, maintained and replaced according to the recommen-
dations in this manual to avoid unnecessary intensification of dust or vapour generation.
Use respiratory protective equipment according to your employer's instructions or as required by occupa-
tional health and safety regulations.
