eye protection which is impact-resistant. Degree of protection should be selected depending on the work to be done. You should
make sure, that the work piece is securely clamped. You should regularly check whether the rotation speed is not higher than
the values shown on the rating plate. Control should be performed without mounted inserted tool, and in accordance with the
manufacturer's recommendations. Make sure, that sparks and debris created during operation do not cause hazards. Disconnect
the tool from its power supply before changing the inserted tool or before maintenance. You must constantly take into account
the risk to bystanders.
Risks of getting tangled
The risk of getting tangled may cause choking, scalping and/or injury, when loose clothing, jewelry hair or gloves are not kept
away from tools or accessories.
The risks associated with the work
To prevent cuts of hands and other parts of the body, you should avoid contact with a rotating spindle and the inserted tool. Use
of the tool may expose the operator's hands for threats, such as crushing, impact, cut-off, abrasion and heat. You should dress
appropriate gloves to protect your hands. The operator and maintenance personnel should be physically able to cope with the
quantity, the weight and power of the tool. Grip the tool properly. Be ready to withstand normal or unexpected movements and
always keep both hands ready. Keep balance and ensure the safe foot positioning. Use protective glasses, it recommended to
use tight gloves and protective clothing. Do not use the rotary file at a speed which is exceeding the speed rating. When you are
working over your head, use protective helmet. Be careful because the inserted tool is spinning for some time after the release of
the actuator. Depending on the workpiece, you should take into account the risks of explosion or fire.
The risks associated with repetitive movements
During the application of the pneumatic tool for work consisting of the repetition of movements, the operator is exposed to experi-
ence discomfort in hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts of the body. In the case of use of pneumatic tool, the operator
should take a comfortable posture for correct setting of feet and should avoid postures, that are strange or not providing the
balance. The operator should change posture during the long work, this will help to avoid discomfort and fatigue. If the operator
is experiencing symptoms such as persistent or recurring discomfort, pain, pulsed pain, tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness.
Operator should not ignore them, should tell the employer about it and consult a doctor.
The risks associated with accessories
Disconnect tool from the power supply before changing the inserted tool or accessory.
Use accessories and supplies only in sizes and types, which are recommended by the manufacturer. Do not use accessories in
other sizes and types. Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during or immediately after work, it can be hot or sharp.
Check whether the maximum speed of the inserted tool is greater than the rated speed of a sander or polisher. Check whether the
maximum speed of the inserted tool is greater than the rated speed of the tool. You should never mount a grinding wheel, cutting
wheel or milling cutter on the tool grinding machine. The grinding wheel, which has been done damaged can cause very serious
injury or death. Do not use any discs which are cracked or broken, or discs, which have been dropped. Use only the allowed
inserted tools of an appropriate diameter of the mandrel. Please pay attention, that the rotational speed of the installation point
must be reduced due to the increase in the lshaft ength between the end of the sleeve, and the installation point. Make sure, that
the minimum length of the mandrel which is clamped in the tool holder is at least 10 mm (you should also take into account the
recommendations of the manufacturer of inserted tool). Beware of errors by adjusting the diameter of the mandrel of inserted tools
and clamping of the pneumatic tool.
Risks associated with the workplace
Slips, trips and falls are the main causes of injuries. Beware of slippery surfaces, caused by the use of tools, and threats of trip-
ping caused by the pneumatic system. Proceed with caution in an unknown environment. There may be hidden threats, such as
electricity or other utility lines. Pneumatic tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not isolated from
contact with electricity. Make sure, that there are no electric wires, gas pipes, etc., that can cause a threat in the event of their
damage by using the tool.
Hazards arising from vapors and dust
Dust and fumes caused by using a pneumatic tool can cause bad health condition (such as cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or
inflammation of the skin). There are necessary: a risk assessment and implementation of appropriate control measures in relation to
those risks. The risk assessment should include the effect of dust created by using tools and the possibility of excitation of the exist-
ing dust. The air outlet must be aimed to minimise generating dust in a dusty environment. Where dust or fumes are created, priority
should be to control them at the source of their emission. All integrated functions and equipment for collection, extraction or reduction
of dust or fume should be properly operated and maintained in accordance with manufacturer's recommendations. Wear suitable
respiratory protective equipment, in accordance with the instructions of an employer and in accordance with the requirements of
hygiene and safety. Service and maintenance of the pneumatic tool should be carried out according to the recommendations of the
manual, This will minimize the emission of fumes and dust. You should select, maintain and exchange inserted tools according to the
manual, to prevent increase of and dust. Treatment of certain materials can cause fumes and dust, that produce a risk of explosion.
