Risk from flying components
Be aware that failure of the workplace, the accessories or even the tool head used
can produce high speed projectiles.
During operation of the pneumatic tool always wear impact-resistant eye protection.
The required degree of protection should be assessed for every specific application.
When doing so danger to other persons must also be considered.
Make sure that the workpiece is securely fixed.
Entanglement hazards
Risk of asphyxiation, degloving injuries and cuts, if loose clothing personal jewellery,
necklaces, hair or gloves are not kept away from the tools and accessories.
Gloves can become caught in the rotating drive leading to severed or broken fingers.
Keep the hands away from the rotating drives.
Rotating drive bushings and drive extensions can be easily caught on rubber-coated
or metal-reinforced gloves. Never hold the drive or the drive extension.
Operating hazards
Operation and maintenance personnel must be physically able to handle the mass,
the weight and the force of the tool.
Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements and
keep both hands available.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
Only use the lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.
It is recommended to use personal safety glasses and protective clothing.
If the pneumatic tool is hung within a holding fixture, make sure that the fixture is
firmly in position.
In cases where means of counteracting the reaction torque are required, it is
recommended where possible to use a hook-on arm. If this is not is not possible,
side handles for tools with a straight housing and pistol grip are recommended. In
any case it is recommended, with straight tools to use a means of counteracting the
torque if above 4 Nm, for pistol grip tools above 10 Nm and with angle wrenches,
above 60 Nm. The fingers may be trapped with open crowfoot wrenches. Do not use
the tool in tight spaces, and pay attention to potential trapping of the hands between
tool and workpiece, especially when undoing screws.
Hazards from repeated movements
When using a pneumatic tool to carry out work-related activities, the operator may
identify problems in the hands, arms, shoulders, in the neck or another part of the
body.
When using a pneumatic tool, the operator must have a relaxed body position, while
maintaining a secure footing and avoiding unfavourable or unbalanced body
positions. During long periods of work the user must change their body position from
time to time, to avoid injuries and fatigue.
If the user experiences symptoms such as continuous or repeated feeling unwell,
pain, throbbing, tingling, numbness, burning or stiffness, then these warning signs
must not be ignored. The user must inform the employer, and seek assistance from
a qualified doctor.
