Risks due to noise

■

Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuf-
ficient hearing protection may lead to permanent 
hearing damage, hearing loss and other prob-
lems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling 
or humming in your ears). It is essential that 
a risk assessment is carried out with respect 
to these risks and that appropriate regulatory 
mechanisms are implemented.

■

Suitable regulatory mechanisms include meas-
ures such as the use of insulation materials 
to avoid ringing noise occurring on the work-
pieces.

■

Use ear protection as per the instructions 
provided by your employer or as required by 
health and safety regulations.

■

The sander or polisher is to be operated and 
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual to reduce any 
unnecessary increase of the noise levels.

■

Consumables/machine tools should be se-
lected, maintained and replaced in accordance 
with the recommendations in this guide in order 
to avoid unnecessary increase of the noise 
levels.

■

If the sander or polisher is equipped with a 
silencer, always ensure that this in its place and 
is operational while the machine is in operation.

Risks due to vibrations

■

Vibrations can damage the nerves and cause 
malfunctions to the blood circulation in the 
hands and arms.

■

When working in a cold environment, wear 
warm clothing and keep your hands warm and 
dry.

■

If you notice numbness, tingling or pain in your 
fingers or hands or notice that the skin of your 
fingers or hands has become pale, stop work-
ing with the sander or the polisher, inform your 
employer and consult a doctor.

■

The sander or polisher is to be operated and 
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in this manual to reduce any 
unnecessary increase of the vibrations.

■

Hold the machine securely but not too firmly 
while maintaining the necessary hand-reaction 
force, as the vibration risk generally increases 
the harder the machine is held.

Additional safety instructions for 
pneumatic machines

■

Compressed air can cause serious injury.

–

Ensure that the air supply is switched off, 
the hose is not under pressure, that the air 
supply has been shut off and that the  
machine is disconnected from the air supply 
when not in use, and also before exchang-
ing accessories or carrying out repairs.

–

Never aim the airflow towards yourself  
or any other person.

■

Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury. There-
fore, always check that the hoses and their fix-
ings are not damaged or have not come loose.
