Avoid direct contact with the insertion tool
during or immediately after work, cause it
may be hot or sharp.
Hazards associated with the workplace
Slips, trips and falls are the main causes of in-
juries. Beware of slippery surfaces caused by
the use of the tool, as well as the hazards of
tripping caused by the air supply system. Pro-
ceed with care in an unknown environment.
There may be hidden threats such as electrici-
ty or other utility lines. Pneumatic tool is not in-
tended for use in potentially explosive atmos-
pheres and is not isolated from contact with
electricity. Ensure that there are no electrical
cords, gas pipes, etc. that can be dangerous
in case of the damage by using the tool.
Hazards associated with vapours and dust
Dust and vapours generated by the use of
a pneumatic tool can cause poor health or
health problems (for example cancer, birth
defects, asthma and / or dermatitis), neces-
sary are: risk assessment and implementa-
tion of an appropriate control measures for
these hazards. The risk assessment should
include the impact of dust created by using
the tools and the possibility of excitation of the
existing dust. The air outlet should be pointed
so as to minimize dust excitation in a dusty
environment. There, where dust or fumes are
generated, the priority should be to control
them at the source of emission. All integrat-
ed functions and equipment to collect, extract
or reduce dust or smoke should be properly
used and maintained in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions. Use the respira-
tory protection in accordance with the instruc-
tions of employer and in accordance with the
hygiene and safety requirements. The service
and maintenance of the pneumatic tool should
be carried out in accordance with the user
manual, it will minimize fumes and dust emis-
sions. Select, maintain and replace an inser-
tion tools in accordance with the instructions
to prevent the growth of vapours and dust.
Hazards associated with noise.
Exposure to high noise levels without the
protection can cause permanent and irre-
versible hearing loss and other problems
such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, hissing,
chirping, whistling or humming in the ears).
Necessary are: risk assessment and imple-
mentation of an appropriate control meas-
ures regarding to these hazards. The ap-
propriate inspections, performed in order to

reduce the risk, may include activities such
as: use of insulation materials to prevent the
"ringing" of the workpiece. Utilize hearing
protectors in accordance with the instruc-
tions of employer and in accordance with the
hygiene and safety requirements. The ser-
vice and maintenance of the pneumatic tool
should be carried out in accordance with the
user manual, avoiding an unnecessary in-
crease of noise level. If the pneumatic tool is
fi tted with a silencer, always make sure that
it is correctly assembled while using the tool.
Select, maintain and replace worn tools in
accordance with the instructions. It will allow
to avoid unnecessary increase of noise level.
Hazards associated with vibrations
Exposure to vibration may cause, permanent
nerve damage and hands and arms blood
fl ow damage - blood vessels and joints of the
hand, wrist and arm. It's necessary to wear
warm clothing while working at low temper-
atures and it's needed to keep the hands
warm and dry. In case of numbness, tingling,
pain or whitening of the skin in the fi ngers
and hands, it's necessary to stop using the
pneumatic tool, then inform the employer
and consult a doctor. The service and main-
tenance of the pneumatic tool should be car-
ried out in accordance with the user manual,
will allow to avoid an unnecessary increase
of vibration level. Do not hold an insertion
tool with your free hand, this increases the
vibration exposure. Hold the tool with a light
but fi rm grip, taking into account the required
reaction forces, because the risk from vi-
brations is usually greater when the grip
strength is higher. Keep the additional hold-
ers from the central position and avoid press-
ing the holder until it stops. In case of the
crushers, remove smaller pieces of concrete
to prevent wedging of the tool.. In case of the
crushers, move the tool every few seconds.
During movement, the tool must be stopped
because vibrations reach a high level if an in-
sertion tool does not overlap the workpiece.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools
Air under pressure can cause serious injury:
- always cut off the air supply, empty the hose
from the air pressure and disconnect the tool
from the air supply when: it is not used, be-
fore changing accessories or while perform-
ing repairs;
- never point an air stream at yourself or an-
yone else.
Hit by hose can cause serious injury. Always
