Vibration Hazards; Additional Safety Instructions For Pneumatic Power Tools - Varan SPT-15103 Manuel D'utilisation

• Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an
unnecessary increase in the noise level
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as recommended in the instruction
handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in noise
• If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working order when the tool is
being operated

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 sander or polisher, inform your employer and consult a physician
• Operate and maintain the sander or polisher 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
Air Cut-Off Tool Safety
This power tool is intended to function as a cut-off tool. Read all safety warnings, instructions,
a)
illustrations and specifications provided with the power tool. Failure to follow all instructions listed
below may result in serious injury.
Operations such as grinding, sanding, wire brushing or polishing are not recommended to be
b)
performed with this power tool. Operations for which the power tool was not designed may create a
hazard and cause personal injury.
Do not use accessories which are not specifically designed and recommended by the tool
c)
manufacturer. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool it does not assure safe
operation. Never use spacers or bushings to make an incorrectly-sized accessory fit the tool.
The rated speed of the accessory must be at least equal to the maximum speed marked on the power
d)
tool. Accessories running faster than their rated speed can break and fly apart.
The outside diameter and the thickness of your accessory must be within the capacity rating of your
e)
power tool. Incorrectly sized accessories cannot be adequately guarded or controlled.
The arbour size of wheels, flanges, backing pads or any other accessory must properly fit on the
f)
spindle of your power tool. Accessories with arbour holes that do not match the mounting hardware of
the power tool will run out of balance, vibrate excessively and may cause loss of control.
Do not use a damaged accessory. Before each use inspect the accessory such as abrasive wheels for
g)
chips and cracks, backing pad for cracks, tear or excess wear.
