Risk Control When Using Pneumatic Tools

Risk of injury in head and eyes

WARNING

• Compressed air out of pneumatic equipment may be dangerous. Objects like brackets, burrs, splinters, dust and other residues may be impelled towards head and eyes due to high speed of the air flow. The air flow itself can only injure soft tissue such as eyes, ears, etc.
  CAUTION

Risk of explosion
WARNING

• Incorrect handling of pressure in pneumatic equipment may cause an explosion causing severe injuries.

Risk of hearing loss
WARNING

• Being exposed long periods of time to noise pneumatic tools produce may damage hearing permanently causing hearing loss.

Risk of inhaling particles
WARNING

• Abrasive tools like grinders, sanders and cutting tools generate dust and particles that damage the lungs and respiratory system.
• Some materials like resin or adhesive are made with chemicals and the vapors emitted may cause serious damage if the operator is exposed for long periods of time.

Risk of electric shock
WARNING

• Pneumatic tools do not have electric insulation. If during the operation, the tool makes contact with a source of electricity, the energy will be conducted to the operator causing a fatal electrocution.

Risk of damaging the tool
WARNING

• Pneumatic tools forced beyond the capacity and lacking of adequate lubrication or used to loosen rusted nuts (with impact guns) will get damaged and make the Warranty void.

To prevent head and eyes injuries
