Hazards caused by dust and vapours

■ The dusts and vapours produced by using the
machines can be hazardous to health (e.g.
cause cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or der-
matitis); it is essential to carry out a risk assess-
ment in respect of these risks and to implement
corresponding regulatory mechanisms.
■ The risk assessment should include the dust
caused by using the machine and any existing
dust that may be raised at the same time.
■ The compressed air tool is to be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual to keep the
release of dust and vapours to a minimum.
■ The exhaust air should be extracted so that the
minimum amount of dust is raised in an already
dusty environment.
■ If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority
must be to control these where they are re-
leased.
■ All components of the compressed air tool or
accessories intended for collecting, extracting
or suppressing airborne dust or vapours or
should be used and serviced properly in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
■ Consumables/tools should be selected, main-
tained and replaced in accordance with the
recommendations in this guide in order to avoid
unnecessary intensification of dust or vapour
production.
■ Use a dust mask as per the instructions provided
by your employer or as required by health and
safety regulations.
■ Working with certain materials can lead to
emissions of dust and vapours that are poten-
tially explosive.

Hazards caused by noise

■ Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuffi-
cient hearing protection may lead to permanent
hearing damage, loss of hearing and other
problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or humming in your ears).
■ It is essential to carry out a risk assessment with
regard to these hazards and implement suitable
control mechanisms.
■ Suitable control mechanisms include measures
such as the use of insulating materials to avoid
ringing noises from occurring on the work-
pieces.
■ Use hearing protection as required by work and
health safety regulations.
■ The compressed air tool is to be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in these instructions in order
to reduce any unnecessary increase of the noise
levels.
■ Consumables and the tool should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in these instructions in
order to avoid any unnecessary increase of the
noise levels.
■ The integrated silencer may not be removed
and must be in good working order.
