Hazards connected with entanglement
Loose clothing, jewellery, neckwear, hair or gloves may cause choking, scalping and/or injury if they are not kept away from the
tool and accessories.
Hazards connected with work
Avoid contact with the saw blade to prevent cuts to the hands and other body parts. The covers must always be fi xed in the correct
position and be in good working order and undamaged. Replace damaged, bent or heavily worn covers with those recommended
by the manufacturer. Make sure that the movable covers return to their fully closed position as soon as they are released from the
open position. Movable covers should never be locked or secured in the open position or locked in any other manner. Using the
tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards such as cutting, abrasion and heat. Wear suitable gloves to protect your hands.
The operator and the maintenance personnel should be physically able to cope with the quantity, weight and power of the tool.
Hold the tool correctly: be ready to counteract normal or unexpected movements and have both hands available. Keep your feet
in balance and in a safe position. Avoid injuries from cutting or cutting off : avoid contact with the saw blade, blade or knife when-
ever a pneumatic tool is attached to the power supply. Wear personal protective equipment such as gloves, aprons and helmets.
Injuries can be caused by uncontrolled movement of the tool: always make sure that the guides (if fi tted) are securely attached to
the workpiece. Cutting with this tool creates sharp edges; use gloves to protect hands.
The pressure on the start and stop device should be released in the event of a power failure. Use only the lubricants recommend-
ed by the manufacturer. Protective goggles must be worn, and we recommend wearing suitable gloves and protective clothing. Be
careful as the rotating inserted tool can still move when the actuator is released.
Hazards connected with repetitive movements
When using a pneumatic tool for work entailing repetitive movements, the operator is exposed to the discomfort of hands, arms,
shoulders, neck or other parts of the body. When using a pneumatic tool, the operator should take a comfortable posture to ensure
the feet are correctly positioned and avoid strange or unbalanced postures. The operator should change the posture over a long
period of time to avoid discomfort and fatigue. If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or repeated discomfort,
pain, pulsating pain, tingling, numbness, burning or stiff ness, the operator is required to report the symptoms to the doctor. The
operator should not ignore them, should tell the employer about it and consult a doctor.
Hazards with accessories
Disconnect the tool from the power supply before replacing the inserted tool or accessory. Use accessories and consumables only
in the sizes and types recommended by the manufacturer; do not use any other types or sizes of accessories and consumables.
Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during and after work, it can be hot or sharp. Check the saw blade before use. Do not
use blades which may have been dropped or that are chipped, cracked, or otherwise damaged.
Hazards connected with the workplace
Slips, stumbles and falls are the main causes of injury. Beware of slippery surfaces caused by using the tool, as well as tripping
hazards caused by the air installation. Handle with care in an unfamiliar environment. There may be hidden hazards, such as
electricity or other utility lines. The pneumatic tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive zones and is not insulated from
contact with electricity. Make sure that there are no electric cables, gas pipes, etc. which could pose a risk in the case of damage
with the tool.
Fumes and dust hazards
Dust and fumes from pneumatic tools can cause ill health (e.g. cancer, congenital malformations, asthma and/or dermatitis), it is
necessary to: assess the risks and implement appropriate control measures with regard to these risks. The risk assessment shall
include the impact of the dust generated by the tool and the possibility of existing dust disruption. The operation and maintenance
of the pneumatic tool must be carried out in accordance with the instructions in the instructions manual in order to minimise the
emission of fumes and dust. The air outlet shall be so directed as to minimise the disruption of dust in a dusty environment. Where
dust or fumes are generated, priority should be given to controlling them at the source of the emission. All integrated functions
and accessories for collecting, extracting or reducing dust or fumes should be properly operated and maintained according to the
manufacturer's recommendations. Select, maintain and replace tools to be inserted in accordance with the instructions in order to
prevent the increase of fumes and dust. Warnings should be given to prevent the risk of explosion or fi re posed by the workpiece.
Use respiratory protection in accordance with the employer's instructions and in accordance with hygiene and safety require-
ments. Working with certain materials generates dust and fumes that can create an explosive atmosphere.
Noise pollution
Exposure to high levels of noise can cause permanent and irreversible hearing loss and other problems such as tinnitus (ringing,
buzzing, whistling or buzzing in ears). A risk assessment and the implementation of appropriate control measures for these risks
are necessary. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may include measures such as silencing materials to prevent the workpiece
from "ringing". Use hearingprotection in accordance with the employer's instructions and in accordance with hygiene and safety
requirements. The operation and maintenance of the pneumatic tool must be carried out in accordance with the instructions in the
manual in order to avoid an unnecessary increase in noise levels. Select, maintain and replace worn inserted tools in accordance
