Risks caused by vibrations
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to
vibrations! Vibrations may, in par-
ticular for persons with circulation
problems, cause damage to blood
vessels and/or nerves.
If you notice any of the following
symptoms, stop working immediately
and consult a doctor. Numbness of
body parts, loss of sense of feeling,
itching, pins and needles, pain,
changes in skin colour.
The vibration values specified in the technical
data represent the main uses of the device.
The actual existing vibrations during use may
deviate from these as a result of the following
factors:
• Incorrect use of the product;
• Unsuitable tools inserted;
• Unsuitable material;
• Insufficient maintenance.
You can reduce the risks considerably by fol-
lowing the tips below:
– Maintain the device in accordance with
the instructions in the operating instruc-
tions.
– Avoid working at low temperatures.
– When it is cold, make sure your body and
your hands, in particular, are kept warm.
– Take regular breaks and move your hands
at the same time to promote circulation.
Handling compressed air
• Make sure that all connections and supply
lines are rated for the required pressures
and air flows. To prevent accidents, the
minimum air pressure for the product
must not be underrun and the maximum
permissible pressure for the product is not
exceeded.
• Unrestrained compressed air hoses as
well as the resultant fragments or dust
being blown around can cause injuries.
Pull all hose clamps tight before com-
mencing work and replace damaged sup-
ply lines.
• Blow through or clean connections before
using for the first time. Soiling can impair
the function and and safety of the product.
• Disconnect the product from the com-
pressed air supply during breaks in work,
prolonged periods of non-use or taking
out of operation.

• The product may only be connected to
lines that have a protection mechanism to
prevent the maximum permissible pres-
sure from being exceeded by more than
10%. This can be achieved, for example,
by a pressure regulating valve with a
downstream or built-in pressure limiting
valve being fitted into the compressed air
line.
• Only operate the product at the pressure
required for the operation concerned, in
order to prevent unnecessarily high noise
levels, excessive wear and the resultant
malfunctions.
• Compressed air can be dangerous if the
operator is unsure how it should be han-
dled. Assembly, commissioning and
maintenance is reserved for trained and
experienced persons.
• Do not direct compressed air at yourself
or at others in order to clean clothing and
footwear.
• Never blast objects that contain hazard-
ous substances (e.g. asbestos).
• Never use solvent-based liquids, acetone,
undiluted acids or solvents as cleaning
agents! A spray mist from these sub-
stances is highly hazardous to health and
possibly explosive.
• Live components in the work area must be
protected from dirt and dust particles
being blown around.
• Only use compressed air. Never use air
containing chemicals, synthetic oils
(organic solvents), salts or corrosive gas,
as it can cause damage and malfunctions.
• Use only lubricants recommended by the
manufacturer.
• Compressed air products are not earthed.
Proceed with caution when coming into
contact with power sources.
• Always attach protective caps when
transporting or storing products and
accessories.
Maintenance
• Interrupt, vent and depressurise all con-
nections before commencing any work on
the product.
• Only those maintenance and fault elimi-
nation tasks described here may be car-
ried out. Any other tasks must be com-
pleted by a specialist.
• Only use original replacement parts. Only
these replacement parts are designed
and suitable for the device. Other replace-
