■
The compressed air tool is to be operated and maintained in
accordance with the recommendations contained in this manual
to reduce any unnecessary increase of the vibrations.
■
Consumables and the tool should be selected, maintained and
replaced in accordance with the recommendations in this guide
in order to avoid unnecessary increase of oscillations.
■
To support the weight of the compressed air tool, use a stand,
clamp or a balancing unit wherever possible.
■
Hold the compressed air tool securely but not too firmly while
maintaining the necessary hand-reaction force, as the vibration
risk generally increases the harder the machine is held.
■
An inadequately mounted or damaged accessory tool can lead
to excessive vibrations.
Additional safety instructions
■
Compressed air can cause serious injury.
■
When the compressed air tool is not in use, the air supply must al-
ways be shut off and the air hose depressurised. The compressed
air tool must be disconnected from the compressed air supply
before replacing accessories or when conducting repair work.
■
Never aim the airflow at yourself or anyone else.
■
Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury. Therefore, always
check whether the hoses and their fixings are undamaged and
have not come loose.
■
If universal rotary joints (claw couplings) are used, locking pins
must be inserted and Whipcheck hose restraints must be used to
provide protection in the case of a failure of the connection be-
tween the hose and the compressed air tool.
■
Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure on the compressed
air tool is not exceeded.
■
Never carry compressed air tools by the hose.
