OPERATION MANUAL AND INSTRUCTIONS ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
PERSONNEL SAFETY
- Stay alert; watch what you are doing. Do not use the pneumatic tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication.
- Always use the following personal protective equipment:
• Eye protection
• Safety shoes
• Hearing protection
• Protective gloves against physical agents
• Anti-vibration gloves, to be worn following a specially conducted survey of the daily exposure of the hand-arm system to
vibration
- Make sure you are in a safe position, keeping proper balance at all times. A safe working position and a proper body posture
enable better control of the pneumatic tool in unexpected situations.
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery,
and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
- Do not directly inhale the exhaust air, and prevent it from getting into your eyes. The exhaust air of the pneumatic tool can contain
water, oil, metal particles and impurities, which may cause hazards.
PNEUMATIC TOOL USE AND CARE
- When operating the pneumatic tool, hold it in such a way that it cannot cause any injury to your head or body in case it kicks
back, or air supply is cut off or any hard areas are found on the workpiece.
- Do not overload the pneumatic tool. Use the pneumatic tool intended for your work only.
- Always check that the machine is free from defects. Do not use a pneumatic tool that has a defective on/off and safety switch. A
pneumatic tool that can no longer be stopped or started is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Maintain the pneumatic tool with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage or damage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the operation of the pneumatic tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the pneumatic
tool.
- Have the pneumatic tool repaired only through a trained repair person. Only use original replacement parts.
- When you finish work, disconnect the pneumatic tool from the supply mains and empty the magazine.
PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY
- Make sure that the nameplate is readable; get a replacement nameplate from the manufacturer, if need be.
- While using the pneumatic tool, individual accessories may accidentally break, thereby causing fixing parts to be thrown at high
speed.
- In case air supply should be cut off or any hard areas found in the workpiece, it is important to be prepared for any kicks, to
prevent injuries to your head or body.
- Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to handle the weight and power of the pneumatic tool.
While operating the pneumatic tool, take care with your hands, to avoid injuries.
- Stop the tool in case of air supply failure or low operating pressure. Check the operating pressure; start the tool again when
optimal operating pressure is resumed.
- When using the pneumatic tool, the operator may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, or neck area. Adopting
a comfortable posture and changing posture may help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
Using the pneumatic tool on the workpiece generates noise, which may prove harmful to the exposed personnel. A proper
phonometric survey is required to determine the personal hearing protective equipment (hearing protection) to use.
If a specially conducted survey suggests that the daily exposure to vibration generated from the pneumatic tool exceeds the
limit value under the regulations in force in the respective country, anti-vibration gloves must be worn.
- If you notice that the skin of your fingers becomes numb, turns white, tingles or hurts, stop working with the pneumatic tool,
inform your employer and seek medical advice.
- Hold the pneumatic tool with a not too firm yet secure grip, compliant with the required hand reaction forces.
- Never carry the pneumatic tool by the hose.
