Hazards Caused By Vibrations; Additional Safety Instructions For Pneumatic Machines - Parkside PDBS 1800 A1 Originalbetriebsanleitung

■ If the automatic screwdriver is equipped with
a sound absorber, it must always be available
and in good working order when using the
automatic screwdriver.
■ Consumables and the machine tool should
be selected, maintained and replaced in
accordance with the recommendations in these
instructions in order to avoid any unnecessary
increase of the noise levels.
■ The compressed-air tool is to be operated and
maintained in accordance with the recommen-
dations contained in these instructions in order
to reduce any unnecessary increase of the noise
levels.
■ The integrated sound absorber may not be
removed and must be in good working order.

Hazards caused by vibrations

■ Vibrations can damage the nerves and cause
malfunctions to the blood circulation in the
hands and arms.
■ Keep your hands away from the fittings of the
nut wrenches.
■ Wear warm clothing when working in a cold
environment and keep your hands warm and
dry.
■ If you notice that the skin of your fingers or
hands is becoming numb, tingles, hurts or shows
white discolouration, stop working with the
machine and consult a doctor.
■ The automatic screwdriver must to be operated
and maintained in accordance with the recom-
mendations contained in this manual to reduce
any unnecessary increase of the vibrations.
■ Do not use any worn-out or poorly matching
fittings and extensions, as there is a high proba-
bility that this will lead to a significant increase
in the vibrations.
■ Consumables and the machine tool should be
selected, maintained and replaced in accord-
ance with the recommendations in this guide
in order to avoid unnecessary increase of
oscillations.
■ If possible, sleeve fittings should be used.

■ To support the weight of the machine, use a
stand, clamp or a balancing unit 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.
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
conducting repair work.
–
Never aim the airflow at yourself or anyone
else.
■ Thrashing hoses can cause serious injury.
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.
■ Do not use any quick-lock couplings on the
tool inlet for impact and impulse drills. For hose
connections with a thread, always only use
those made of tempered steel (or a material
with comparable impact resistance).
■ 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 case of a failure of the connec-
tion between the hose and the machine.
■ Ensure that the maximum permissible pressure
on the machine is not exceeded.
■ For torque-controlled machines with continu-
ous rotation, the air pressure has effects on
performance that are relevant in terms of safety.
Requirements for the length and diameter of the
hose must therefore be defined.
■ Never carry pneumatic machines by the hose.
