a)
Check the compressed-air supply at regular intervals.
Protect the hose rom bending, squeezing, heat and
sharp edges. Tighten the hose clamps irmly. Make
sure that damaged hoses and couplings are repaired
immediately.
If the air supply is defective, the com-
pressed air hose could suddenly toss around and
cause injuries Dust and chippings flying up in the air
can cause eye injuries
3) Personal sa ety and sa ety o others

and tackle the work you are going to do with your
pneumatic tool in a sensible manner. Do not use the
pneumatic tool i you are tired or under the in luence
o drugs, alcohol or medication.
One minute of care-
lessness whilst using the pneumatic tool can cause
severe personal injuries
b)
Wear your personal protective items and always wear
protective glasses.
Wearing protective personal
items such as a dust mask, sturdy shoes that do not
slip, a helmet or ear protection, depending on the
type of job to be done using the pneumatic tool, re-
duces the risk of injuries
c)
Prevent the possibility o the machine starting acciden-
tally. Make absolutely sure that the switch is in the
“OFF” position be ore you connect the pneumatic tool to
the compressed-air supply.
If your finger is on the
switch whilst you are carrying the pneumatic tool or
if you connect the pneumatic tool to the com-
pressed-air supply whilst it is switched on, this could
cause accidents
d)
Remove any adjusting tools and wrenches be ore you
switch the pneumatic tool on.
An adjusting tool or
wrench that has been left in a rotating part of the
pneumatic tool could cause injuries
e)
Do not over-estimate yoursel . Make sure you have a
irm stance and can keep your balance at all times.
In
this way you will have better control over the pneu-
matic tool if anything unexpected happens

or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away
rom any moving parts.

long hair could get caught in the moving parts
4) Care ul handling and use o pneumatic tools
a)
Do not strain the pneumatic tool. Use the correct appli-
cation tool intended or your work.
With the correct
application tool you can work better and more safely
in the given power range
b)
Do not use a pneumatic tool with a de ective switch.
A
pneumatic tool that can no longer be switched on or
off is dangerous and must be repaired
c)
Disconnect the power supply be ore you undertake any
adjustments on the pneumatic tool, change the acces-
sories or place the pneumatic tool down somewhere.
This precautionary measure prevents the pneumatic
tool from actuating accidentally
d)
Keep unused pneumatic tools out o the reach o chil-
dren. Do not allow anyone to use the pneumatic tool
who is not amiliar with it and has not read these in-
structions.
Pneumatic tools are dangerous if they are
used by inexperienced persons
e)
Look a ter the pneumatic tool with care. Check that the
moving parts o the pneumatic tool are unctioning per-
ectly and do not jam, that none o the parts are broken
or damaged, and that the unction o the pneumatic
tool is not impaired. Any damaged parts should be re-
paired be ore using the pneumatic tool.
Many an acci-
dent has been caused by pneumatic tools that have
been badly kept
f)
Keep the cutting tools sharp and clean.
Cutting tools
with sharp cutters that have been carefully looked af-
ter are less likely to jam and are easier to guide
g)
Use the pneumatic tool, the accessories and the appli-
cation tools, etc., in accordance with these instructions
and in the manner stipulated or this special type o
pneumatic tool. Take the working conditions and the
operation to be carried out into consideration.
Using
pneumatic tools for applications other than those
they are intended for, can lead to dangerous situa-
tions
h)
Hold the pneumatic tool irmly in both hands and make
sure you have a irm stance.
The pneumatic tool can
be guided more safely using both hands
i)
Secure the workpiece irmly.
A work piece that is
gripped tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more
secure than if held by hand
j)
Do not machine any material containing asbestos.
As-
bestos is cancerogenic
k)
Keep your hands away rom the application tool. Do not
reach in ront o or below the application tool.
Contact
with the application tool can lead to injury Applica-
tion tools can become very hot while working
l) Only position the pneumatic tool onto the workpiece
when it is switched on. There is danger of kickback
occurring or of losing control over the pneumatic
tool
m)It is orbidden to rivet or screw any name-plates or
signs onto the pneumatic tool. Use adhesive labels
n) Do not use any accessories that have not been speci i-
cally designed and recommended by the manu acturer
o the pneumatic tool. Operation is not automatically
safe because an accessory happens to fit your pneu-
matic tool
o) Beware o any concealed electric cables, gas or water
conduits; check the working area with a metal detec-
tor, for example, before commencing work
5) Service
a) Your pneumatic tools should only be repaired by qual-
i ied specialists and only with original spare parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the pneumatic tool
is maintained
Special sa ety instructions.
Secure the workpiece irmly. A work piece that is gripped
tightly in a clamping device or vice, is more secure than if
held by hand
