with the instructions in the manual. This will help avoid an unnecessary increase in noise. If the pneumatic tool has a silencer,
always make sure that it is installed correctly when using the tool.
Vibration hazard
Although the tools were designed to minimise the risks associated with vibration emission, it was not possible to completely
eliminate the vibrations which may be the cause of residual risks. Improper use of the tool may result in exposure to vibration. The
value of the vibrations specifi ed in the manual may not adequately represent the vibration level of the intended use. Exposure
to vibration can cause permanent damage to the nerves and blood supply of the hands and arms. Wear warm clothes when
working at low temperatures and keep your hands warm and dry. If numbness, tingling, pain or bleaching occurs in your fi ngers
or hands, stop using the pneumatic tool, then inform your employer and consult your doctor. The operation and maintenance of
the pneumatic tool in accordance with the operating instructions will prevent unnecessary increases in vibration levels. Select,
maintain and replace consumables/inserted tools in accordance with the instructions in order to prevent unnecessary increase in
vibration levels. Support the weight of the tool with a base, tensioner or stabiliser, if possible. Hold the tool with a light but secure
grip, taking into account the required reaction forces, as the risk of vibration is usually higher when the clamping force is higher.
Incorrect installation of the inserted cutting tool can result in increased vibration levels.
Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools
Pressurised air can cause serious injury:
- always disconnect the air supply, release the air pressure from the hose and disconnect the tool from the air supply when not in
use, before changing accessories or carrying out repairs;
- never point the air stream at yourself or anyone else.
Hitting with the hose can cause serious injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and connectors. Keep cold air away from
hands. Do not use quick-release couplings at the tool inlet in the case of impact or impulse wrenches. Use threaded hose connec-
tions made of hardened steel (or suitably shock-resistant materials). Whenever universal screwed connections (dog connections)
are used, safety pins and safety connectors must be used to prevent damage to the connections between the hoses and between
the hose and the tool. Do not exceed the maximum air pressure specifi ed for the tool. Never carry the tool while holding the hose.
OPERATING CONDITIONS
Make sure that the compressed air source generates the correct working pressure and provides the required airfl ow. If the supply
air pressure is too high, a pressure reducer with a safety valve must be used. The pneumatic tool must be fed through the fi lter and
lubricator system. This will ensure that the air is both clean and moistened with oil. Check the condition of the fi lter and lubricator
before each use and clean the fi lter if necessary or make up for oil shortage in the lubricator. This will ensure the correct operation
of the tool and extend its service life.
In the case of heavy loads, a recoil force may be generated towards the tool operator. It is necessary to adopt such a posture
during work to be able to counteract these forces eff ectively.
If you move the tool unexpectedly or break the inserted tool, you may be injured.
When using additional holders or support racks, make sure that the tool is correctly and securely attached.
Keep body parts and clothing away from the working tool. There is a risk of being pulled in or caught. Always make sure that all
keys and tools used for adjusting and attaching other tools to the pneumatic scaler are removed before starting work.
During operation, dust can be generated which, depending on the workpiece, can be harmful to the operator.
During cutting or demolition work, workpiece elements can be ejected.
Make sure that live electrical cables will not be cut before starting the cutting operation. Contact of the saw blade with a live wire
may result in electric shock to the tool operator, resulting in serious injury or death.
Make sure that any systems, e.g. gas or water systems, will not be cut before starting the cutting operation. Sparks from cutting
may ignite gas escaping from the damaged system, causing fi re, explosion and serious injury or death.
Use only saw blades that are suitable for cutting the given material. For example, do not use wood saw blades for cutting metal
or plastic.
TOOL USE
Before each use of the tool, make sure that no parts of the pneumatic system are damaged. If you notice damage, immediately
replace the components with new, undamaged ones.
Dry condensed moisture inside the tool, compressor and hose before each use of the pneumatic system.
Connecting the tool to the pneumatic system
The fi gure shows the recommended way to connect the tool to the pneumatic system. This will ensure the most effi cient use of
the tool and also prolong the tool's service life.
Apply a few drops of SAE 10 viscous oil into the air inlet.
Screw a suitable nozzle to the air inlet thread fi rmly and securely to connect the air hose (II).
