Vibration Hazards
This information shall draw attention to vibration hazards that have not been
eliminated by design and construction and remain as residual vibration
risks. It shall enable employers to identify the circumstances in which the
operator is likely to be at risk from vibration exposure If the vibration-
emission value obtained using ISO 28927-3 does not adequately represent
the vibration emission in the intended uses (and foreseeable misuses) of the
machine, additional information and/or warnings shall be supplied to enable
the risks arising from vibration to be assessed and managed.
• Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and
blood supply of the hands and arms
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your
hands warm and dry
• If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in
your fingers or hands, stop using the machine, inform your employer and
consult a physician
• Operate and maintain the machine as recommended in the instruction
handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels
• Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required
hand reaction forces, because the risk from vibration is generally greater
when the grip force is higher
Additional Safety Instructions for
Pneumatic Power Tools
Air under pressure can cause severe injury:
• Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and disconnect tool
from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when
making repairs
• Never direct air at yourself or anyone else
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or
loose hoses and fittings
• Whenever universal twist couplings (claw couplings) are used, lock
pins should be installed and whipcheck safety cables should be used
to safeguard against possible hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection
failure
• Do not exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool
• Never carry an air tool by the hose

Before Use
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors:
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
EQ-4
Europe
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system
you are using, and install as outlined below:
1. Apply some PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of the Quick
Connector (3). This will help to maintain an air tight seal
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not
come off when the thread is screwed into the tool.
2. Remove the protective plug from the air inlet
3. Using a spanner (not included) screw the quick connector into the air
inlet located at the base of the handle
4. Connect to airline, pressurise carefully and carry out a leak check
(e.g. by spraying small amounts of soapy water on to the outside of
the connectors)
• Air lines fitted with matching female quick connectors will now be a push
fit to the tool
