3. General Safety Instructions

For your own protection and for the
protection of your air tool, carefully
observe all parts of the text that are
marked with this symbol!
WARNING – Reading the operating instruc-
tions will reduce the risk of injury.
WARNING Read all safety warnings and
instructions. Failure to follow all safety warn-
ings and instructions may result in electric shock,
fire and/or serious injury.
Keep all safety instructions and information for
future reference.
Pass on your air tool only together with these docu-
ments.
- The user or user's employer must evaluate the
specific risks associated with each application of
the tool.
- You must read and understand the safety instruc-
tions before installing, operating, repairing or
maintaining the tool, and also before replacing any
accessory parts or carrying out any work in the
vicinity of the air tool. Failure to read and follow the
instructions may lead to serious injury.
- Only qualified, trained operators are authorised to
install, adjust or use the air tool.
- The air tool must not be modified. Any modifica-
tions implemented may reduce the efficiency of
the safety measures and increase risks for the
operator.
- Never use air tools that have been damaged. Look
after your air tools carefully. Regularly check that
all moving parts are functioning correctly without
jamming. Also regularly ensure that no parts are
broken or damaged to an extent that they affect
the operation of the air tool. Check that all signs
and labels are legible and intelligible. Have
damaged parts repaired or replaced before using
the tool. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained air tools.

4. Special Safety Instructions

4.1 Risks associated with ejected parts
- If either 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 securely attached.
- Disconnect the air tool from the compressed air
supply before replacing the mounted tool or
accessories, and also before carrying out mainte-
nance, settings or cleaning.
- Also ensure that no other people are placed at
risk.
4.2 Risks during operation
- Ensure you stand in a safe position and keep your
balance at all times.
- Avoid accidental operation. If the air supply is
interrupted, switch off the air tool using the On/Off
switch.
- Wear personal protective equipment and always
wear safety glasses. By wearing personal protec-
tive equipment such as gloves, protective
clothing, a dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, a
safety helmet or ear protectors, to suit the type of
machine and its use, you reduce the risk of injury.
Wearing this equipment is recommended.
4.3 Risks associated with recurring move-
ments
- When working with the air tool, you may experi-
ence an uncomfortable sensation in your hands,
arms, shoulders, neck or other body parts.
- Make sure you are in a comfortable position to
carry out work with the air tool, check that the tool
is held securely, and avoid any awkward positions
that make it difficult, for example, to keep your
balance. If carrying out work over an extended
period, you/the operator should change position
occasionally. This should help to avoid fatigue and
any unpleasant sensation.
