Check hose size and air pressure.
Avoid the risk of whipping hose – regularly check hose, hose fitting and clamp
conditions.
Check that the exhaust air is directed to avoid blowing dust or air from the work
piece onto the operator or other persons. Arrange for barriers if possible.
When necessary, use exhaust hose and arrange for dust collection.
Pneumatically driven power tools are not generally insulated for coming
into contact with electric power sources.
Explosive atmosphere must not be ignited – to prevent injury and prop-
erty loss from fire use other non sparking process.

chine.
Use sharp drill bits to avoid breakage or seizing in hole.
If the machine is suspended by a balancer – regularly check the condition of
hooks and suspension yoke.
