HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR POWER TOOL USE

• When using any type of power tool there are steps that should be taken to make sure that you, as the user, remain safe.

• Common sense and a respect for the tool will help reduce the risk of injury.

• Read the instruction manual fully. Do not attempt any operation until you have read and understood this manual.

• Most important you must know how to safely start and stop this machine, especially in an emergency.

• Keep the work area tidy and clean. Attempting to clear clutter from around the machine during use will reduce your concentration. Mess on the floor creates a trip hazard. Any liquid spilt on the floor could result in you slipping.

• Find a suitable location. If the machine is bench mounted; the location should provide good natural light or artificial lighting as a replacement. Avoid damp and dust locations as it will have a negative effect on the machine’s performance. If the machine is portable; do not expose the tool  to rain. In all cases do not operate power tools near any flammable materials.

• Keep bystanders away. Children, onlookers and passers by must be restricted from entering the work area for their own protection. The barrier must extend a suitable distance from the tool user.

• Disconnect and house all power tools that are not in use. An air tool should never be left unattended while connected to the power supply. They must be housed in a suitable location, away locked up and from children.
  Do not overload or misuse the tool. All tools are designed for a purpose and are limited to what they are capable of doing. Do not attempt to use a power tool (or adapt it in any way) for an application it is not designed for. Select a tool appropriate for the size of the job. Overloading a tool  will result in tool failure and user injury: This covers the use of accessories.

• Dress properly. Loose clothing, long hair and jewellery are all dangerous because they can become entangled in moving machinery: This can also result in parts of body being pulled into the machine. Clothing should be close fitted, with any long hair tired back and jewellery and neck ties  removed. Footwear must be fully enclosed and have a non-slip sole.

• Wear personal protective equipment (PPE). Dust, noise, vibration and swart can all be dangerous if not suitably protected against. If the work involving the power tool creates dust or fumes; wear a dust mask. Vibration to the hand, caused by operating some tools for longer periods must  be protected against. Wear vibration reducing gloves and allow long breaks between uses. Protect against dust and swarf by wearing approved safety goggles or a face shield. These are some of the more common hazards and preventions; however, always find out what hazards are  associated with the machine/work process and wear the most suitable protective equipment available.

• Do not breathe contaminated air. If the work creates dust or fumes; connect the machine (if possible) to an extraction system either locally or remotely. Working outdoors can also help if possible.

• Move the machine as instructed. If the machine is hand held, do not carry it by the air line. If the product is heavy; employ a second or third person to help move it safely or use a mechanical device. Always refer to the instructions for the correct method.

• Do not overreach. Extending your body too far can result in a loss of balance and you falling. This could be from a height or onto a machine and will result in injury.

• Maintain your tools correctly. A well maintained tool will do the job safely. Replace any damaged or missing parts immediately with original parts from the manufacturer. As applicable; keep blades; moving parts clean, oiled or greased; handles clean; and emergency devices working.

HEALTH AND SAFETY INFORMATION

• Wait for the machine to stop. Unless the machine is fitted with a safety brake; some parts may continue to move due to momentum. Wait for all parts to stop; then disconnect it from the air line before making any adjustments, carrying out maintenance operations or just finishing using the tool.
• Remove and check setting tools. Some machinery requires the use of additional tools or keys to set, load or adjust the power tool. Before starting the power tool always check to make certain they have been removed and are safely away from the machine.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Before connecting any machine in to the air supply, make sure the switch is in the OFF position. If the machine is portable; do not hold the machine near the switch and take care when putting the machine down; that nothing can operate the switch.
• Concentrate and stay alert. Distractions are likely to cause an accident. Never operate a power tool if you are under the influence of drugs (prescription or otherwise), including alcohol or if you are feeling tired. Being disorientated will result in an accident.
• Have this tool repaired by a qualified person. This tool is designed to confirm to the relevant international and local standards and as such should be maintained and repaired by someone qualified; using only original parts supplied by the manufacturer: This will ensure the tool remains safe to use.

AIR SUPPLY

AIR TOOL OIL SPECIFICATION
Air tool oil viscosity refers to it’s properties to flow and how it reacts with heat. A low viscosity is thinner than a high viscosity.
Air tool oil becomes thinner as it heats so choosing the right viscosity is essential. If the viscosity is too low it may provide insufficient lubrication when heated. Equally, if it is too high, the fluid may provide excessive resistance to move through the lines when cold.
The ISO (International Standards Organization) viscosity grading system measures the kinematic viscosity in centistokes (cSt) at 40° which is todays accepted standard. The SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) viscosity grade value is based on a scale.
This equipment is suited to an ISO grade 22 – 32 (SAE grade 5W – 15W) monograde oil.
The oil must be constantly supplied to the equipment during use to ensure complete lubrication and optimum performance is achieved. It also acts as a rust inhibitor when the equipment is not in use.

We recommend the use of Draper Air Tool Oil:

This air tool operates at a maximum pressure of 90psi and must be controlled via a combination pressure regulator, in-line lubricator and moisture filter such as the Draper range (see you local Draper stockiest) which with proper maintenance will ensure a constant supply of dry air and lubricating oil at all times (see illustration below). Always check machine operating pressure before use.
Water in the compressor tank will cause serious corrosion to your air tools and should be drained daily to avoid excessive water in your air supply. Dirty wet air rapidly shortens the life of your air tool.
If you are using an air tool on a hose over 25ft long it is advisable to increase the bore of the hose to the next larger size available, i.e., 1/4″ increases 3-8″. This will ensure adequate pressure and volume of air to power the machine.
