mended that you always observe basic safety principles, in-
cluding those listed below, in order to reduce the risk of fi re,
electric shock and injury.
Please read and keep the entirety of this instruction man-
ual before using the tool.
CAUTION! Read all of the following instructions. Failure to do
so may result in electric shock, fi re, or personal injury. The term
"pneumatic tool" used in these instructions refers to all tools
operating by means of a compressed air stream at the correct
pressure.
PLEASE OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS
General safety conditions
Due to multiple hazards, read and understand the safety in-
structions before starting installation, operation, repair, main-
tenance and alteration of accessories or when working in the
vicinity of a pneumatic tool. Failure to do so may result in seri-
ous injury. Pneumatic tools may only be installed, adjusted and
assembled by qualifi ed and trained personnel. Do not modify
the pneumatic tool. Modifi cations can reduce effi ciency and
safety, and increase the risk for the tool operator. Do not throw
away the safety instructions, they should be handed over to the
tool operator. Do not use the pneumatic tool if it is damaged.
The tool must be periodically inspected for the visibility of in-
formation required by the ISO 11148 standard. The employer/
user should contact the manufacturer to replace the rating
plate whenever necessary.
Hazards connected with ejected parts
Damage to the workpiece, accessories or even to the tool to
be inserted can result in parts being ejected at high speeds.
Always use impact-resistant eye protection. The degree of pro-
tection must be selected according to the works carried out.
Make sure that the workpiece is securely clamped. Check reg-
ularly that the tool speed does not exceed the value shown on
the nameplate. The inspection should be carried out without
the installed tool and in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations. Make sure that sparks and chips produced
during operation are not hazardous. Disconnect the tool from
the power supply before replacing the tool to be inserted or
before maintenance. The risk to bystanders must be taken into
account at all times.
Hazards connected with entanglement
The Hazards connected with entanglement may cause chok-
ing, scalping and/or cutting if loose clothing, jewellery, hair or
gloves are not kept away from the tool or accessories. Gloves
may be entangled by a rotating carrier and may cut off or break
fi ngers. Gloves covered with rubber or metal reinforced gloves
can easily get tangled in the attachments installed on the tool
carrier. Do not wear loose-fi tting gloves or gloves with cut or
frayed fi ngers. Never hold the carrier, attachment or extension
cord. Keep your hands away from rotating carriers.
Hazards related to air impact wrench.
Using the tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards
such as crushing, impact, cutting, abrasion and heat. Wear
suitable gloves to protect your hands. The operator and the
O R I G I N A L

maintenance personnel should be physically able to cope with
the quantity, weight and power of the tool. Hold the tool correct-
ly. Be prepared to withstand normal or unexpected movements
and always keep both hands at the ready. Where torque ab-
sorbing equipment is required, it is recommended to use a sup-
port arm where possible. However, if this is not possible, it is
recommended to use side grips for straight tools and tools with
a pistol grip. The use of lateral control rods for off set screw-
drivers is recommended. In any case, it is recommended to
use torque absorbing equipment above: 4 Nm for straight tools,
10 Nm for pistol grip tools, 60 Nm for off set screwdrivers. The
pressure on the start and stop device should be released in the
event of a power failure. Use only the lubricants recommended
by the manufacturer. Fingers may be crushed in screwdrivers
with open grippers. Do not use tools in confi ned spaces and
avoid placing hands between tool and workpiece, especially
when unscrewing.
Hazards related to tool grinder.
To prevent cutting hands and other parts of the body, avoid
contact with the rotating spindle and the tool to be inserted. Us-
ing the tool can expose the operator's hands to hazards such
as crushing, impact, cutting, abrasion and heat. Wear suitable
gloves to protect your hands. The operator and the mainte-
nance personnel should be physically able to cope with the
quantity, weight and power of the tool. Hold the tool correctly.
Be prepared to withstand normal or unexpected movements
and always keep both hands at the ready. Keep your feet in
balance and in a safe position. Protective goggles must be
worn, and we recommend wearing suitable gloves and pro-
tective clothing. Do not use a rotary fi le at speeds exceeding
the rated speed. Use a safety helmet when working over the
head. Be careful because the tool to be inserted spins for some
time after the actuator is released. Depending on the material
to be processed, the risk of explosion or fi re must be taken
into account.
Hazards related to 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 per-
sistent or repeated discomfort, pain, pulsating pain, tingling,
numbness, burning or stiff ness, they should not ignore them,
inform the employer and consult a physician.
Hazards caused by accessories for air impact wrenches
Disconnect the tool from the power supply before replacing the
tool to be inserted or accessory. Do not touch the attachments
and accessories while the tool is running as this increases the
risk of injury, burns due to vibrations. Use accessories and
consumables only in the sizes and types recommended by the
manufacturer. Use only impact attachments in good condition;
bad condition or non-impact attachment used in impact tools
can disintegrate and become a bullet.
