Air Source; Specific Safety Instructions - BGS technic BGS 8717 Manual De Instrucciones

TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool
unintentionally. Turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and
release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before leaving the work area.
5. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain the tool with care.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that affects the tool's operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
8. Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of an
accessory not intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to
persons.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.

AIR SOURCE

1. Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 5.6 bar. Over pressurizing the tool
may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the tool or serious injury to persons. Use
only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range
as marked on the tool. Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted
to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.
2. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the
tool. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.

SPECIFIC SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
2. Obey the manual for the air compressor used to power this tool.
3. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency,
even if a hose is ruptured.
SILICOSIS AND ALUMINUM OXIDE WARNINGS
Recommend the following measures to reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace and
prevent silicosis and silicosis-related deaths:
1. Prohibit silica sand (or other substances containing more than 1% crystalline silica) as an
abrasive blasting material and substitute less hazardous materials.
2. Conduct air monitoring to measure worker exposures.
3. Use containment methods such as blast-cleaning machines and cabinets to control the hazard
and protect adjacent workers from exposure.
4. Practice good personal hygiene to avoid unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
5. Wear washable or disposable protective clothes at the work site. Shower and change into clean
clothes before leaving the work site to prevent contamination of cars, homes and other work
areas.
6. Use respiratory protection when source controls cannot keep silica exposures low.
7. Provide periodic medical examinations for all workers who may be exposed to crystalline silica.
8. Post signs to warn workers about the hazard and to inform them about required protective
equipment.
9. Provide workers with training that includes information about health effects, work practices and
protective equipment for crystalline
