■
The exhaust air should be extracted so that the
raising of dust in already dusty environments is
kept to a minimum .
■
If dusts or vapours are created, the main priority
must be to control these at the site of their release .
■
All machine components or accessories intended
for collecting, extracting or suppressing airborne
dust or vapours should be used and serviced
properly in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions .
■
Use a dust mask as per the instructions provided
by your employer or as required by health and
safety regulations .
Hazards caused by noise
■
Excessive noise levels in conjunction with insuffi-
cient hearing protection may lead to permanent
hearing damage, loss of hearing and other
problems, such as tinnitus (ringing, buzzing,
whistling or humming in your ears) . It is essential
to carry out a risk assessment with regard to
these hazards and implement suitable control
mechanisms .
■
Suitable control mechanisms include measures
such as the use of insulating materials to prevent
ringing noise from occurring on the workpieces .
■
Use hearing protection in accordance with the
instructions provided by your employer and as
required by health and safety regulations .
■
The automatic screwdriver must be operated
and maintained in accordance with the recom-
mendations contained in this manual in order to
reduce any unnecessary increase of the noise
levels .
■
The consumables and the machine tool should
be selected, maintained and replaced in ac-
cordance with the recommendations in these
instructions in order to avoid any unnecessary
increase of the noise levels .

The automatic screwdriver must to be operated
and maintained in accordance with the recom-
mendations contained in this manual to reduce
any unnecessary vibration increase .
■
Do not use worn-out or poorly matching fittings
and extensions, as there is a high probability that
this will lead to a significant vibration increase .
■
Consumables and the machine tool should be
selected, maintained and replaced in accord-
ance with the recommendations in this guide
in order to avoid an unnecessary vibration
increase .
■
Sleeve fittings should be used if possible .
■
Use a stand, clamp or balancing unit to support
the weight of the machine wherever possible .
■
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 .
■
An inadequately mounted or damaged acces-
sory tool can lead to excessive vibrations .
