using the compressed air tool. Many accidents are caused by
poorly maintained compressed air tools.
Hazards caused by flying parts
■
If a workpiece or accessory of the compressed air tool breaks,
parts can be flung out at high speeds.
■
Always wear impact-resistant safety goggles during operation,
when replacing accessory parts or during repair or maintenance
of the compressed air tool. The level of the required protection
must be evaluated separately for each individual task.
■
You must ensure that the workpiece has been securely fixed in
place.
■
Check regularly that the rotation speed of the compressed air tool
is not higher than the specified rotation speed appended on the
compressed air tool. These rotation speed tests must be conduct-
ed without any accessory tools attached.
■
Ensure that sparks and fragments created during work do not con-
stitute a hazard.
■
Separate the compressed air tool from the compressed air supply
before replacing the attachment or accessories or before you
adjust the settings, service or clean the tool.
■
Ensure that no dangers are created for other persons either.
Hazards caused by entanglement
■
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep
hair, clothing and gloves away from the compressed air tool and
moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. There is a risk of personal injury.
■
Suffocation, scalping and / or cuts may occur if loose-fitting cloth-
ing, jewelry, necklaces, hair or gloves are not kept away from the
machine and its accessories.
