OPERATION MANUAL AND INSTRUCTIONS ISTRUZIONI PER L'USO
• Anti-vibration gloves, to be worn following a specially conducted survey of the daily exposure of the hand-arm system
to vibration
- Make sure you are in a safe position, keeping proper balance at all times. A safe working position and a proper body posture
enable better control of the pneumatic tool in unexpected situations.
- Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery,
and long hair can get caught in moving parts.
- Do not directly inhale the exhaust air, and prevent it from getting into your eyes. The exhaust air of the pneumatic tool can
contain water, oil, metal particles and impurities, which may cause hazards.
PNEUMATIC TOOL USE AND CARE
- Use clamping devices or a vice to secure and support the workpiece. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body will
not allow for safe operation of the pneumatic tool.
- Do not overload the needle scaler. Break "small pieces" of plaster, to prevent the tool from getting jammed. Use the tool
intended foryour work.
- Stop the needle scaler when moving from a working area to another, to reduce limb vibration.
- Always check that the machine is free from defects. Do not use a pneumatic tool that has a defective On/Off switch. A
pneumatictool that can no longer be stopped or started is dangerous and must be repaired.
- Always disconnect the air supply when the air hammer is not in use. This safety measure prevents accidental starting of
thepneumatic tool.
- Store idle pneumatic tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with these instructions to operate
thepneumatic tool.
- Maintain the pneumatic tool with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any
othercondition that may affect the operation of the pneumatic tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the pneumatic
tool.
- Always use needles in good condition.
- Do not modify the pneumatic tool. This can reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and increase operator risk.
- Have the pneumatic tool repaired only through a trained repair person and only using original replacement parts.
PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY
- Make sure that the nameplate is readable; get a replacement nameplate from the manufacturer, if need be.
- While the pneumatic tool is being used, any accidental breakages of individual accessories may cause pieces to be thrown at
high speed.
- Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to handle the weight and power of the pneumatic tool.
- It is important to be prepared for unexpected movements of the pneumatic tool resulting from a jammed or broken work tool.
Maintain a firm grip on the pneumatic tool and position your body and arms to allow you to resist such movements. These
precautions can prevent injuries.
- Avoid contact with any moving parts of the tool, since these can cause injuries.
- Stop the tool in case of air supply failure or low operating pressure. Check the operating pressure; start the tool again when
optimaloperating pressure is resumed.
- When using the pneumatic tool, the operator may experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, or neck area. Adopt
acomfortable posture and avoid unfavourable positions. Changing posture may help avoid discomfort and fatigue.
Caution: If the pneumatic tool is used over a protracted period of time, part of the tool and the socket may become hot.
Wear protective gloves.
Dust and fumes hazards: Depending on the type of material being worked, the fumes generated while operating the
pneumatic toolcan cause diseases in humans. An appropriate environmental hygiene survey is required to determine the
type and degree ofprotection of the personal protective equipment to use for the respiratory tract.
If a specially conducted survey suggests that the daily exposure to vibration generated from the pneumatic tool exceeds
the limitvalue under the regulations in force in the respective country, anti-vibration gloves must be worn.
- If you notice that the skin of your fingers becomes numb, turns white, tingles or hurts, stop working with the pneumatic tool,
inform your employer and seek medical advice.
- Hold the pneumatic tool with a not too firm yet secure grip, compliant with the required hand reaction forces.
- Never carry the pneumatic tool by the hose.
