•  Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as 

recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary 
increase in dust or fumes

•  Use respiratory protection in accordance with employer's instructions 

and as required by occupational health and safety regulations

Noise Hazards

•  Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing 

loss and other problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling or 
humming in the ears). Therefore, risk assessment and implementation of 
appropriate controls for these hazards are essential

•  Appropriate controls to reduce the risk can include actions such as 

damping materials to prevent workpieces from ‘ringing’

•  Use hearing protection in accordance with employer's instructions and as 

required by occupational health and safety regulations

•  Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in the instruction 

handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in the noise level

•  Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted tool as 

recommended in the instruction handbook, to prevent an unnecessary 
increase in noise

•  If the tool has a silencer, always ensure it is in place and in good working 

order when the tool is being operated

Vibration Hazards

This information shall draw attention to vibration hazards that have not been 
eliminated by design and construction and remain as residual vibration 
risks. It shall enable employers to identify the circumstances in which the 
operator is likely to be at risk from vibration exposure If the vibration-
emission value obtained using ISO 28927-3 does not adequately represent 
the vibration emission in the intended uses (and foreseeable misuses) of the 
machine, additional information and/or warnings shall be supplied to enable 
the risks arising from vibration to be assessed and managed.
•  Exposure to vibration can cause disabling damage to the nerves and 

blood supply of the hands and arms

•  Wear warm clothing when working in cold conditions and keep your 

hands warm and dry

•  If you experience numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin in 

your fingers or hands, stop using the tool, inform your employer and 
consult a physician

•  Operate and maintain the tool as recommended in the instruction 

handbook, to prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels

•  Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required 

hand reaction forces, because the risk from vibration is generally greater 
when the grip force is higher

Operating Hazards

•  Use of the tool can expose the operator’s hands to hazards, including 

cuts, abrasions and heat

•  Wear suitable gloves to protect hands
•  Operators and maintenance personnel should be physically able to 

handle the bulk, weight and power of the tool

•  Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden 

movements and have both hands available

•  Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing
•  Release the start-and-stop device in the case of an interruption of the 

energy supply

•  Use only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer
•  Personal protective safety glasses should be used; suitable gloves and 

protective clothing are recommended

•  Avoid direct contact with the moving parts in order to prevent pinching 

or cutting of hands or other body parts. Wear suitable gloves to protect 
hands

•  Never run the tool unless it is directed towards the workpiece
•  There is a risk of electrostatic discharge if used on plastic and other 

non-conductive materials

•  Potentially explosive atmospheres can be caused by aerosols  and fumes 

resulting from spraying

•  Always use dust extraction or suppression systems which are suitable for 

the material being processed

Repetitive Motions Hazards

•  When using this tool to perform work-related activities, the operator can 

experience discomfort in the hands, arms, shoulders, neck or other parts 
of the body

•  While using this tool, the operator should adopt a comfortable posture 

whilst maintaining secure footing and avoiding awkward or off-balance 
postures. The operator should change posture during extended tasks; this 
can help avoid discomfort and fatigue

•  If the operator experiences symptoms such as persistent or recurring 

discomfort, pain, throbbing, aching, tingling, numbness, burning 
sensations or stiffness, these warning signs should not be ignored. 
The operator should inform the employer and consult a qualified health 
professional

Accessory Hazards

•  Disconnect the tool from the energy supply before filling or changing 

accessories

•  Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are 

recommended by the manufacturer of this tool; do not use other types or 
sizes of accessories or consumables

Workplace Hazards

•  Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Be aware 

of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and also of trip hazards 
caused by the air line or hydraulic hose

•  This tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and 

is not insulated against contact with electric power

Dust and Fume Hazards

•  Dust and fumes generated when using this tool can cause ill health 

(for example cancer, birth defects, asthma and/or dermatitis); risk 
assessment and implementation of appropriate controls for these 
hazards are essential

•  Risk assessment should include dust created by the use of the tool and 

the potential for disturbing existing dust

•  Operate and maintain this tool as recommended in these instructions, to 

minimise dust or fume emissions

•  Direct the exhaust so as to minimise disturbance of dust in a dust-filled 

environment

•  Where dust or fumes are created, the priority should be to control them 

at the point of emission

•  All integral features or accessories for the collection, extraction or 

suppression of airborne dust or fumes should be correctly used and 
maintained in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions
