1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES

FOR PNEUMATIC TOOLS

Read and understand all in-

structions. Failure to follow all in-

structions listed below may result in

electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.

Save these instructions.

The terminology “Pneumatic Tool” or “Tool” used in

the following text refers to the so-called air tool in these

operating instructions.

Work area

Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and

dark areas invite accidents.

Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,

such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gas-

es, or dust. During operation of the tool, its accessory

can create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away

while operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to

lose control.

Pneumatic safety

Use compressed air of Quality Class 5 in accord-

ance with DIN ISO 8573-1 and a separate mainte-

nance unit near the tool. The compressed air sup-

plied should be free of foreign material and moisture to

protect the tool from damage, contamination, and rust.

Check the connections and air supply lines. All

maintenance units, couplers, and hoses should con-

form to the product specifications in terms of pressure

and air volume. Too low a pressure impairs the func-

tioning of the tool; too high a pressure can result in

physical damage and personal injury.

Protect the hoses from kinks, restrictions, sol-

vents, and sharp edges. Keep the hoses away

from heat, oil, and rotating parts. Immediately

replace a damaged hose. A defective air supply line

may result in a wild compressed air hose and can

cause personal injury. Raised dust or chips may

cause serious eye injury.

Make sure that hose clamps are always tight-

ened firmly. Loose or damaged hose clamps may re-

sult in uncontrolled air escape.

Personal safety

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use

common sense when operating a tool. Do not

use tool while tired or under the influence of

drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inat-

tention while operating tools may result in serious per-

sonal injury.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-

skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection

used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal

injuries.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off

before connecting to the air supply. Carrying tools

with your finger on the switch or connecting tools to

the air supply with the switch on invites accidents.

Remove adjusting keys before turning the tool

on. A key that is left attached to a rotating part of the

tool may result in personal injury.

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-

ance at all times. Proper footing and balance ena-

bles better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or

jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves

away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or

long hair can be caught in moving parts.

If dust extraction and collection devices are in-

stalled, ensure these are connected and properly

used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related

hazards.

Do not directly inhale the exhaust air. Avoid ex-

posing the eyes to exhaust air. The exhaust air of

the air tool may contain water, oil, metal particles, or

contaminants that may cause personal injury.

Pneumatic tool use and care

Use clamps or other practical way to secure and

support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-

ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable

and may lead to loss of control.

Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your

application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or

OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the

switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect the air hose from the air supply be-

fore making any adjustments, changing acces-

sories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety

measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden-

tally.

Store idle air tools out of the reach of children

and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the air

tool or these instructions to operate the air tool.

Air tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-

ers.
