Safety instructions for pneumatic tools
HAZARDS FROM DUST AND
VAPOURS
The dusts and vapours generated
†
z
by pneumatic angle grinders may
be detrimental to health (e.g.
cancer, birth defects, asthma,
dermatitis). These risks must be
assessed without fail and the cor-
responding regulating
mechanisms implemented.
This risk assessment should extend
†
z
to the dusts generated by the
machine in use and to the
potential raising of dust deposits.
The pneumatic angle grinder
†
z
must be operated and serviced as
recommended in these instructions
if the release of dust and vapours
is to be minimised.
The exhaust air must be extracted
†
z
in such a manner that the dust
raised in dusty environments is
reduced to a minimum.
If dusts and vapours are gener-
†
z
ated, the main task is to check
these at the place of their release.
All machine fitted installations or
†
z
accessories designed to capture,
extract, or suppress airborne dust
or vapours should be used and
serviced in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
The consumables / machine tools
†
z
must be selected, serviced, and
replaced in compliance with the
12
GB/IE/NI
292193 Druckluft-Trennschleifer_content_LB6.indb 12
recommendations in these
instructions if there is to be no
unnecessary increase to dust and
vapour levels.
Use respirator equipment as
†
z
set down in your employer's
instructions or in the work and
health protection rules.
Processing certain materials may
†
z
emit dust and vapours that in
turn may lead to a potentially
explosive environment.
HAZARDS FROM NOISE
The effects of high noise levels
†
z
may cause permanent damage to
hearing when there is inadequate
protection. This may lead to loss
of hearing and other problems,
e.g. tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling, or humming in the ears).
These risks must be assessed with-
†
z
out fail and the corresponding
regulating mechanisms
implemented.
Regulating mechanisms suitable
†
z
for minimising risks include
e.g. the use of insulating materials
that suppress ringing noises on the
workpieces.
Use hearing protection equipment
†
z
as set down in your employer's
instructions or in the work and
health protection rules.
