Risk control
when using pneumatic tools
Injury risk to head and eyes
WARNING
• Compressed air used with pneumatic
tools may be dangerous. Objects like vices, burr, splinters,
dust and other residues can get shot out at great speed
driven by the airflow and enter your eyes or hit your head.
Airflow by itself can cause damage on soft tissues in eyes,
ears, etc.
Risk of explosion
WARNING
• Inadequate handling of
pressure in pneumatic equipment may cause
an explosion and severe injury. Also, using any
gas different from compressed air causes
explosions.
Hearing loss risk
WARNING
• Being exposed to noise generated by
pneumatic tool during long periods of time may damage
permanently hearing and cause hearing loss.
Risk of injury
WARNING
• Damaged hoses may
burst and cause severe injury or hearing loss.
• Vices can get unfastened and get projected causing
severe injury or damage to property.
• Tools that start unexpectedly may cause
severe injury.
• Tools and accessories with no maintenance
may cause severe injury.
• Damaged and banged tools and accessories
may cause severe injury.
Prevent injury to head and eyes
• When operating pneumatic equipment wear
protecting eyeglasses complying with ANSI Z87.1
Standard. As an additional protection wear a mask.
• Never aim the airflow to people or animals.
• Disconnect the air hose from the tool when not in use.
• Never leave the tool unattended when connected to the
air inlet.
• Before using the tool verify all the parts and accessories
are securely fastened.
Preventing an explosion
• Before using the tools double-check that the compressed air supply is
regulated to the tool specified pressure and it not goes over that level.
• Never connect the tool into a pressure supply exceeding 200 PSI, neither
oxygen nor any other bottled gas, combustible or reactive.
• Use clean, dry and regulated compressed air with pressure between
75 PSI and 110 PSI
Preventing hearing loss
• When operating pneumatic equipment always
wear hearing protection complying with ANSI S3.19
Standard.
Preventing injuries
• Do not mistreat the hose or connectors.
• Keep the hose away from sharp or abrasive surfaces.
• Disconnect the hose when loading the cartridge.
• Never use the hose to carry the tool.
• Never pull the hose to disconnect the tool.
• Do not expose the hose to heat, oil or solvents.
• Before operating the tool, verify that the hoses are not damaged.
• Use hoses that can handle at least 150 PSI or 150% of the system
maximum pressure, whichever is higher.
• Double-check al connections are securely installed.
• Never carry the tool by the trigger.
• Disconnect the tool air hose when not in use.
• Never leave the tool unattended when connected to the air supply.
• Keep all tools clean. A clean and lubricated tool works more
effectively and is easier to control.
• All repairs can only be carried out in a
Authorized Service Center.
• Do not use damaged or banged tools or accessories.
