Festool LRS 400 Notice D'utilisation D'origine page 12

Risk through repeated movements
– The use of the compressed air tool may cause
unpleasant sensations in the hands and arms of
the operator, as well as in the neck and shoulder
area or other body parts.
– Adopt a comfortable posture. Change posture if
working continuously.
– If symptoms such as malaise, complaints, throb-
bing, pain, tingling, numbness, burning or stiff-
ness occur inform your employer and consult a
doctor.
Risk as a result of accessory parts
– Disconnect the compressed air hose from the
compressed air supply. In the event of non-use
of the compressed air tool, before maintenance
and when changing insertion tools.
– Avoid contact with the insertion tool during and
after use.
– Always use original accessories.
– Grinding wheels and cutting-off wheels are not
permitted.
– The permissible rotational speed of the acces-
sory must be at least 1,000 rpm higher than the
maximum speed specifi ed on the machine. Ac-
cessories that rotate faster than the permissible
level can rupture.
– Self-adhesive abrasives must be attached con-
centrically on the sanding pad.
Risk at work station
– Slipping and tripping hazard! Pay attention to
slippery surfaces and tripping hazards as a
result of air pressure hoses.
– Not intended for use in explosive atmospheres
and not insulated against contact with electrical
power sources.
– Proceed with caution in unfamiliar surround-
ings that may contain electrical or other supply
cables that harbour hidden dangers. Ensure that
there are no electrical cables, gas pipelines or
similar that, if damaged, could pose a hazard
when the machine is used.
Hazard as a result of dust and vapours
– If hazardous dust is produced during sanding,
the machine should be connected to an ap-
propriate extractor and the safety regulations
that apply to the working material should be
observed.
– A risk assessment in relation to this hazard
must be carried out and corresponding control
mechanisms implemented. Arising dust must
be factored in.
– Connect the dust extractor. Make sure that avail-
able dust extraction equipment is connected
and used correctly. Observe the regional safety
regulations for hazardous dusts and vapours.
Operate and service the compressed air tool
as described in the recommendations included
in these instructions and use accessories and
attachments from Festool to minimise the re-
lease of dust and vapours into the atmosphere.
In dusty environments, make sure that the dis-
sipation of exhaust air does not disturb the dust.
– If necessary arising dust or vapours must be
controlled at the place of their release.
– All components must be fi tted correctly and
meet all requirements to ensure that the com-
pressed air tool operates correctly.
– Select, maintain and replace accessories and
consumables according to these operating in-
structions.
– Wear a dust mask. Observe instructions from
the employer or occupational and health regula-
tions.
Noise hazard
– Higher noise level can lead to permanent hear-
ing damage, loss of hearing or other problems
if inadequate hearing protection is not worn or
available.
– A risk assessment in relation to this hazard
must be carried out and corresponding control
mechanisms implemented, e.g. the use of insu-
lating materials.
– Wear ear protection. Observe instructions from
the employer or occupational and health regula-
tions.
– Operate and maintain compressed air tool ac-
cording to these operating instructions.
– Select, maintain and replace accessories and
consumables according to these operating in-
structions.
– Assure function of the silencer at the com-
pressed air tool.
Vibration hazard
– Vibrations can cause damage to nerves and
problems with blood circulation in hands and
arms.
– When working in cold environments wear warm
clothing and keep hands warm and dry.
– In the event of numbness, tingling or pains in
fi ngers or hands or white colouration of the
fi ngers or hands, cease work, inform employer
and consult a doctor.
– Operate and maintain compressed air tool ac-
cording to these operating instructions.
