4.3 Risks associated with recurring move-

ments - When working with the air tool, you may experi- ence an uncomfortable sensation in your hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other body parts. - Make sure you are in a comfortable position to carry out work with the air tool, check that the tool is held securely, and avoid any awkward positions that make it difficult, for example, to keep your balance. If carrying out work over an extended period, you/the operator should change position occasionally. This should help to avoid fatigue and any unpleasant sensation. - If the operator experiences persistent symptoms such as feeling unwell, aches, pains or throbbing, a prickling or burning sensation, loss of hearing, or joint stiffening, these warning signs must not be ignored. The operator should advise the employer of these symptoms and consult a qualified doctor.

4.4 Risks associated with accessory parts,

consumable materials - Disconnect the air tool from the air supply before securing or replacing the accessory part. - Only use accessories or consumable materials that are designed for this tool and that fulfil the requirements and the specifications listed in these operating instructions.

4.5 Risks in the workplace

- Slipping, tripping and falling are the main reasons for accidents in the workplace. Pay attention to surfaces that may have become slippery as a result of using the air tool, and also be careful that the air hose does not cause someone to trip. - Proceed carefully when working in unfamiliar envi- ronments. Power cables and other supply lines may represent a hidden risk. - The air tool is not designed for use in explosive environments and is not insulated against contact with sources of electric power.

4.6 Risks associated with dust and vapours

- The dust and vapours generated when the air tool is used may carry health risks (e.g. cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); it is therefore imperative that a risk assessment is carried out in relation to these risks and that suitable controls are then implemented. - The risk assessment should take into account both the dust generated while the air tool is used and any existing dust that may be raised during operation. - The air tool must be operated in accordance with the recommendations set forth in these instruc- tions and must be maintained in order to minimise the release of dust and vapours. - The extracted air must be discharged in such a way that, in a dust-filled environment, the minimum of dust is raised. - If dust or vapours are generated, the main priority is to control these at the point where they are released. - To avoid increasing the amount of dust or vapours generated unnecessarily, the consumables must be selected, maintained and replaced in accord- ance with these instructions. - Use protective breathing apparatus in accordance with your employer instructions or in accordance with health and safety regulations. - Working with certain materials causes emissions of dust and vapours that can give rise to potentially explosive conditions.

4.7 Additional safety instructions

- Compressed air can cause serious injury. - When the air tool is not in use, and before replacing accessory parts or when carrying out repairs, you must ensure that air supply is shut off, that the air hose is depressurised and that the air tool is disconnected from the compressed air supply. - Never direct the air jet at yourself or other people. - Whiplashing hoses can cause serious injury. Therefore always check that the hoses and their fixtures are in good condition and that they have not become loose. - Connect the air tool with quick-action coupling to the compressed air supply. - If universal swivel couplings (claw couplings) are being used, locking pins are also required. You should also use whip check hose restraints in case there is a problem with the connection between the hose and air tool or between the hoses themselves. - Ensure that the maximum pressure specified on the air tool is not exceeded. - Never carry air tools by the hose.

4.8 Additional safety instructions

- If applicable, observe any special health and safety or accident prevention regulations governing the use of compressors and compressed air tools. - Ensure that the maximum supply pressure speci- fied in the Technical Specifications is not exceeded. - Do not operate the tool unless you are completely focused.

Danger! Disconnect the compressed air con- nection before carrying out any work. Danger! Repair and maintenance work other than the work described in this section should only be carried out by qualified specialists. The air tool, and particularly the suction hose and the spray nozzle, must be cleaned with a suitable cleaning agent on completion of work. We recom- mend that you attach a container filled with cleaning agent to the air tool and flush the cleaning agent through the tool at low pressure. Spray the cleaning agent back into a closed container to ensure that it is collected and to avoid any unnecessary vapour. The valve pin and pivot point of the trigger of your spray gun must be oiled after each cleaning. Store the compressed air device in dry areas only. If there is an unexpected blockage or the spray pattern is contaminated, please clean the nozzle. - A clean air tool guarantees trouble-free handling during subsequent work. - After use, clean and look after the air tool with extreme care. Danger! Do not use halogen solvents containing hydrocarbons (1.1.1 Trichlorome- thyl, ethyl chloride, etc.) because this results in chemical reactions, some of which can be dangerous, with some air tool materials. Caution. Never immerse the air tool completely in a solvent. - All moving parts should be oiled from time to time. - If the nozzle is removed for cleaning, the thread and the gasket must be coated with a light grease. Do not use lubricants containing silicone. - Store your air tools/devices in dry areas only. - Carry out regular maintenance to ensure the safety of the air tool. - Check that all screw fittings are seated securely, and tighten if necessary. - Avoid contact with dangerous substances that have accumulated on the tool.
