Personnel Safety - Beta 1937N20 Bedienungsanleitung

PERSONNEL SAFETY

– Stay alert; watch what you are doing. Do not use the pneumatic tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication.
– Always use the following personal protective equipment:
• eye protection;
• safety shoes;
• hearing protection;
• protective gloves against physical agents;
• anti-vibration gloves, to be worn following a specially conducted survey of the daily exposure of the hand-arm system to vibration
• protective mask against physical agents according to the values found in the environmental/industrial hygiene survey
– Make sure you are in a safe position, keeping proper balance at all times. A safe working position and a proper body posture
enable better control of the pneumatic tool in unexpected situations.
– Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothing, jewellery, and
long hair can get caught in moving parts.
– Do not directly inhale the exhaust air, and prevent it from getting into your eyes. The exhaust air of the pneumatic tool can contain
water, oil, metal particles and impurities, which may cause hazards.
– Do not place the pneumatic tool before the belt has stopped completely.
PNEUMATIC TOOL USE AND CARE
– Use clamping devices or a vice to secure and support the workpiece. Holding the workpiece by hand or against your body will not
allow for safe operation of the pneumatic tool.
– Do not overload the pneumatic tool. Use the pneumatic tool intended for your work only.
– Always check that the machine is free from defects. Do not use a pneumatic tool that has a defective On/Off switch. A pneumatic
tool that can no longer be stopped or started is dangerous and must be repaired.
– Disconnect the air supply before making adjustments, changing accessories, or placing the pneumatic tool aside. This safety
measure prevents accidental starting of the pneumatic tool.
– Before using the pneumatic tool remove the adjusting tools, since these may be projected at high speed.
– Store idle pneumatic tools out of the reach of children. Do not allow persons unfamiliar with these instructions to operate the
pneumatic tool.
– Maintain the pneumatic tool with care. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage or damage of parts and any
other condition that may affect the operation of the pneumatic tool. Have damaged parts repaired before using the pneumatic tool.
– Check that the pneumatic tool is in good condition. Check that the tool guard is not damaged, to prevent the spark flow from being
directed towards the operator.
– Before each use, make sure that the mounted belt is in good condition and fit for the required job, is not damaged etc.
– Check that the maximum operating speed of the sand belt being used exceeds the rated speed of the pneumatic tool.
– Check that the swinging arm is locked and in the correct sanding position.
– Make sure that no other people are near the tool.
– When the sander stops, place it in a firm and safe position. The belt will take less than 3 seconds to stop.
– Only use sand belts suitable for the required job, like:
• 20-mm sand belt item 1937N20-GR
– Do not modify the pneumatic sander. This can reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and increase operator risk.
– Have the pneumatic tool repaired only through a trained repair person. Only use original replacement parts.
