1.5. ACCESSORY HAZARDS

• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before fi tting or removing the nose assembly or accessory.
• Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommended by the manufacturer of the
tool; do not use other types or sizes of accessories or consumables.

1.6. WORKPLACE HAZARDS

• Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the
tool and also of trip hazards caused by the air line or hydraulic hose.
• Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. There can be hidden hazards, such as electricity or other utility
lines.
• The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against contact
with electric power.
• Ensure that there are no electrical cables, gas pipes, etc., which can cause a hazard if damaged by use of the
tool.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Care should be taken to ensure that spent mandrels do not create a hazard.

1.7. NOISE HAZARDS

• Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems, such as tinni-
tus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming in the ears). Therefore, risk assessment and the implementation
of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential.
• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include actions such as damping materials to prevent work-
pieces from "ringing".
• Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as required by occupational health
and safety regulations.
• Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instruction manual, to prevent an unnecessary in-
crease in the noise level.
• Ensure that the silencer within the mandrel collector is in place and in good working order when the tool is
being operated.

1.8. VIBRATION HAZARDS

• 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 fi ngers or hands, stop using the
tool, tell your employer and consult a physician.
• Where possible support the weight of the tool in a stand, tensioner or balancer, because a lighter grip can
then be used to support the tool.

1.9. ADDITIONAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR PNEUMATIC POWER TOOLS

• The operating supply air must not exceed 7 bar (100 PSI).
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
• Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect air hose when tool is not in use, before changing acces-
sories or when making repairs.
• DO NOT let air exhaust opening on the mandrel collector face in the direction of the operator or other per-
sons. Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fi ttings.
