Noise Hazards - Würth DSN 160 Traducción Del Manual De Instrucciones De Servicio Original

Use of suitable safety glasses; appropriate
■
safety gloves and protective clothing are
recommended.
Dust mask, hearing protection, safety helmet,
■
safety shoes and other personal protective
equipment are required in a working environ-
ment. Employer, tool owner and operator must
enforce the wearing of the personal protective
equipment necessary for the specific working
environment by all employees.
The operating instructions provide infor-
■
mation about the fasteners.
Repeating movements
If a tool is used for a long time, it can result in
■
discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck
or other body parts.
When using a tool, the operator must adopt a
■
suitable but still ergonomic stance. Ensure you
are standing securely and avoid uncomfortable
of unstable body postures.
If a tool operator experiences symptoms
■
such as persistent or recurring discomfort,
pain, throbbing, pins and needles, numbness,
burning, or stiffness, do not ignore these
warning signs. The operator should consult a
qualified medical practitioner and tell them
about all of their work tasks.
Each risk assessment should focus on muscu-
■
loskeletal disorders, in particular based on the
assumption that reducing tiredness during work
can effectively reduce health disorders.
Dangers related to accessories and
consumables
Use only fasteners and accessories that have
■
been manufactured or recommended by
Würth.
Never lubricate the tool as this can cause
■
problems.
The Technical Data section contains detailed
■
information about fasteners and accessories.
Disconnect the energy supply to the tool, for
■
example air, before you change or replace
accessories such as the workpiece contact, or if
you are making adjustments.

Safety instructions
Workplace dangers
Slipping, tripping and falling are the main
■
reasons for injuries in the workplace. Be aware
of slippery surfaces which could be created by
using the tool.
Exercise extra care in environments that you
■
are not familiar with. Hidden hazards may
exist, e.g. power or other service lines.
The tool is not intended for use in areas with
■
explosive atmospheres and is not insulated to
protect against contact with electrical power
sources.
Be especially carefully when firing fasteners
■
into existing walls or other blind areas, to pre-
vent contact with objects hidden therein (e.g.
electric cable, gas lines) or with persons on the
other side.
Hazards due to dust and exhaust gas
If the tool is used in an area with
■
static dust, it can stir up the dust and
cause a dangerous situation. The risk as-
sessment should include dust that is generated
by use of the tool and the possibility of whirling
up existing dust.
Align the air outlet so that the dust load in a
■
dust-filled environment is minimised.
Where hazards caused by dust or exhaust
■
gas exist, the priority is to control these by
changing the blowing out direction of the tool.

Noise hazards

Unprotected contact with high noise levels
■
can result in permanent hearing damage,
hearing loss and other problems such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or humming
noise in the ears). A risk assessment and the
introduction of suitable checks for such hazards
are therefore vital.
Suitable measures for reduction of the risk
■
include, amongst others, material insulation
measures in order to prevent workpieces from
"ringing".
Use suitable hearing protection.
■
Operate and maintain the tool according to
■
the recommendations in the safety/operation
section to prevent an unnecessarily high noise
level.
