Safety instructions for pneumatic tools
if there is to be no unnecessary
increase to vibration levels.
Do not let the machine tool chatter
z
on the workpiece: this will in all
probability increase the vibrations
to a great extent.
The consumables / machine tools
z
must be selected, serviced, and
replaced in compliance with the
recommendations in these instruc-
tions if there is to be no unneces-

Whenever possible, use a column,
z
clamp, or balancing device to
hold the machine's mass.
Keep a reliable, but not too tight
z
grip on the machine, noting the
force of your manual response:
vibration levels tend to increase
with tighter grips.
Use suitable intermediate wheels
z
with bonded abrasives.
