■ Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary intensification of dust or
vapour production.
■ Use breathing equipment as per the instructions
provided by your employer or as required by
health and safety regulations.
Risks due to noise
■ Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuffi-
cient 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 workpieces.
■ Use ear protection equipment as per the instruc-
tions provided by your employer or as required
by health and safety regulations.
■ The nibbler or shears should be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in these instructions in order
to avoid any unnecessary increase of the noise
level.
■ If the machine is equipped with a silencer,
always ensure that it is fitted and is operational
while the machine is in operation.
■ Consumables/machine tools should be selected,
maintained and replaced in accordance with
the recommendations in this guide in order to
avoid unnecessary increase of the noise levels.
Hazards caused by 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 experience numbness, tingling or pain in
your fingers or hands or the skin on your fingers
or hands turns white, stop working with the
nibbler and consult a doctor. You should also
consult an appropriately qualified doctor.
■ The nibbler or shears should 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 injuries.
–
When the machine is not in use, the air
supply must always be shut off and the air
hose depressurised.
The machine must be disconnected from the
compressed air supply before replacing
accessories or when carrying out repair
work.
–
Never aim the airflow at yourself or anyone
else.
■ Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury. You
should therefore always check whether the
hoses and their fixings are undamaged and
have not come loose.
■ Cold air must be directed away from the hands.
■ If universal rotary joints (claw couplings) are
used, locking pins must be inserted and Whip-
check hose restraints must be used to provide
protection in the event of failure of the connection
between the hose and the machine or between
one hose and another.
■ Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure
on the machine is not exceeded.
■ Never carry pneumatic machines by the hose.
