Würth DKG 1040 Traduction Des Instructions De Service D'origine page 21

Take care when using tools without a work-
■
piece contact, as these can be unintentionally
fired resulting in injury to the operator and/or
bystanders.
Ensure that the tool is always securely against
■
the workpiece and cannot slide.
Dangers during operation
Hold the tool firmly and be ready to coun-
■
teract both normal and sudden movements,
e.g. recoils.
Always maintain a balanced posture and
■
secure footing.
Use of suitable safety glasses; appropriate
■
safety gloves and protective clothing are
recommended.
Dust mask, safety helmet, safety shoes and
■
other personal protective equipment are
required in some working environments.
Employer, tool owner and operator must
enforce the wearing of the personal protective
equipment necessary for the specific working
environment by all employees.
The operating instructions provide infor-
■
mation about the fasteners.
Repeating movements
If a tool is used for a long time, it can result in
■
discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck
or other body parts.
When using a tool, the operator must adopt a
■
suitable but still ergonomic stance. Ensure you
are standing securely and avoid uncomfort-
able of unstable body postures.
If a tool operator experiences symptoms
■
such as persistent or recurring discomfort,
pain, throbbing, pins and needles, numbness,
burning, or stiffness, do not ignore these
warning signs. The operator should consult a
health professional and describe all of their
work tasks.
Each risk assessment should focus on muscu-
■
loskeletal disorders, in particular based on
the assumption that reducing tiredness during
work can effectively reduce health disorders.
Safety instructions
Dangers related to accessories and
consumables
Use only fasteners and accessories that have
■
been manufactured or recommended by
Würth.
Never lubricate the tool as this can cause
■
problems.
The Technical Data section contains detailed
■
information about fasteners and accessories.
Disconnect the energy supply to the tool, for
■
example air, before you change or replace
accessories such as the workpiece contact, or
if you are making adjustments.
Workplace dangers
Slipping, tripping and falling are the main rea-
■
sons for injuries in the workplace. Be aware of
slippery surfaces which could be created by
using the tool.
Exercise extra care in environments that you
■
are not familiar with. Hidden hazards may
exist, e.g. power or other service lines.
The tool is not intended for use in areas with
■
explosive atmospheres and is not insulated to
protect against contact with electrical power
sources.
Be especially carefully when firing fasteners
■
into existing walls or other blind areas, to
prevent contact with objects hidden therein
(e.g. electric cable, gas lines) or with persons
on the other side.
Hazards due to dust and exhaust
gas
If the tool is used in an area with
■
static dust, it can stir up the dust and
cause a dangerous situation. The risk
assessment should include dust that is gener-
ated by use of the tool and the possibility of
whirling up existing dust.
Align the air outlet so that the dust load in a
■
dust-filled environment is minimised.
Where hazards caused by dust exist, the
■
priority is to control these by changing the
blowing out direction of the tool.
