Additional safety instructions for pneumatic tools
• Use quick-action couplings for connection to
the compressed air system. The non-sealable
nipple must be fi tted to the tool in such a way
that no compressed air remains in the tool after
disconnection.
• Always use clean, dry compressed air. Do not
use oxygen or combustible gases as an energy
source for this tool.
• Only connect this tool to an air supply where
the maximum allowable pressure of the tool
cannot be exceeded by more than 10%. In case
of higher pressures, a pressure reducing valve
including a downstream safety valve shall be built
into the compressed air supply.
• Only use hoses with a rating exceeding the
maximum operating pressure of the tool.
• Before transporting the tool, disconnect it from
the compressed air system, especially where
ladders are used or where unusual physical
posture is adopted while moving.
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply when it is
not in use.
Additional safety instructions for fastener
driving tools
• Always wear safety glasses.
• Always wear ear protection.
• Never load fasteners with the trigger activated.
• Only use fasteners of the type specifi ed in the
manual.
• Do not use any stands for mounting the tool to a
support.
• Do not disassemble or block any parts of the
fastener driving tool such as the safety yoke.
• Prior to each operation check that the safety and
triggering mechanism is functioning properly and
that all nuts and bolts are tight.
• Do not use the equipment as a hammer.
• Never point any operational fastener driving tool
at yourself or at any other person. Do not use the
tool in applications requiring operation close to
the body.
• While working, hold the tool in such a way that
no injuries can be caused to the head or to the
body in the event of a possible recoil due to a
disruption in the energy supply or hard areas
within the workpiece.
