PURPOSE OF USE
- The needle scaler can be used for the following purposes:
• Removing rust, paint and welding slags
• Removing mud, lime and concrete from building equipment
- The needle scaler must not be used for the following operations:
• The air hammer must not be used in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres
• The trigger must not be locked with adhesive tape or clamps
WORK AREA SAFETY
- Beware of both surfaces that may become slippery due to the use of the pneumatic tool and the danger of tripping over the
airhose.
- While using the pneumatic tool for jobs performed high from the ground, take all necessary precautions, to eliminate or
minimize risk to other workers, following the accidental falling of any tools (for example, isolation of the work area and proper
signs).
Do not operate the pneumatic tool in environments containing potentially explosive atmospheres, because sparks may
be generated, which can ignite the dust, fumes or gases.
Avoid contact with live equipment: the pneumatic tool is not insulated, and contact with live parts can cause electric
shocks.
To find any hidden power supply lines, use suitable search tools or contact the local power supply company. Contact
with electriclines can cause fires and electric shocks. Damaging gas lines causes the risk of explosion. Penetrating a
water pipe will result insevere material damage.
Keep children and bystanders away from your workplace while operating the pneumatic tool. Distractions from other
people can cause you to lose control over the pneumatic tool.
PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY
- Do not point the air flow to yourself or other people. Compressed air can cause serious injury.
- Check the connections and the air supply lines. All units, couplers and hoses should conform to the product specifications in
terms of pressure and air volume. Too low pressure impairs the function of the pneumatic tool; too high pressure can cause
damage and/or injury.
- Do not bend or tighten any hoses; avoid using solvents and sharp edges. Keep the hoses away from heat, oil and rotating
parts. Immediately replace any damaged hose. A defective feed pipe may cause uncontrolled movements of the compressed
air pipe. Raised dust or chips may cause eye injury. Make sure that the hose clamps are always secured firmly.
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
