HAND ARM VIBRATIONS
Employers are advised to refer to the HSE publication “Guide for Employers”.
All hand held power tools vibrate to some extent, and this vibration is transmitted to the operator
via the handle, or hand used to steady the tool. V ibration from about 2 to 1500 herz is potentially
damaging and is most hazardous in the range from about 5 to 20 herz.
Operators who are regularly exposed to vibration may suffer from Hand Arm V ibration Syndrome
(HA VS), which includes ‘dead hand’, ‘dead finger’, and ‘white finger’. These are painful conditions
and are widespread in industries where vibrating tools are used.
The health risk depends upon the vibration level and the length of time of exposure to it……in
effect, a daily vibration dose.
T ools are tested using specialised equipment, to approximate the vibration level generated under
normal, acceptable operating conditions for the tool in question. For example, a grinder used at
45° on mild steel plate, or a sander on soft wood in a horizontal plane etc.
These tests produce a value ‘a’’, expressed in metres per second per second, which represents the
average vibration level of all tests taken, in three axes where necessary , and a second figure ‘K’,
which represents the uncertainty factor, i.e. a value in excess of ‘a’, to which the tool could
vibrate under normal conditions. These values appear in the declaration on page 7.
You will note that a third value is given in the specification - the highest measured reading in a
single plane. This is the maximum level of vibration measured during testing in one of the axes,
and this should also be taken into account when making a risk assessment.
‘a’ values in excess of 2.5 m/s2 are considered hazardous when used for prolonged periods. A tool
with a vibration value of 2.8 m/s2 may be used for up to 8 hours (cumulative) per day, whereas a
tool with a value of 11.2 m/s2 may be used for ½ hour per day only.
The graph below shows the vibration value against the maximum time the respective tool may be
used, per day.
The uncertainty factor should also
be taken into account when assessing
a risk. The two figures ‘a’ and ‘K’may
be added together and the resultant
value used to assess the risk.
It should be noted that if a tool is
used under abnormal, or unusual
conditions, then the vibration level
could possibly increase significantly.
Users must always take this into
account and make their own risk
assessment, using the graph as a
reference.
Some tools with a high vibration value, such as impact wrenches, are generally used for a few
seconds at a time, therefore the cumulative time may only be in the order of a few minutes per
day. Nevertheless, the cumulative effect, particularly when added to that of other hand held
power tools that may be used, must always be taken into account when the total daily dose rate
is determined.

6. Exert pressure on the workpiece initially, towards the die in order to start the
cut, or if the pipe is fixed, exert pressure on the end of the pipe with the tool.
It is important to stop the tool regularly in order to add lubrication, or,
alternatively, get an assistant to regularly squirt oil into the cutting area.
IMPORTANT: Take great care to ensure the tool does not come into contact with
the clamp as it moves along the pipe. If cutting long threads, stop the tool and
reposition the clamp accordingly.
NOTE: If extending an existing thread, screw the Die on to the workpiece, but DO NOT
screw it to the end of the thread, Allow a few turns so that the direction of rotation
can be established when switching ON. The direction of rotation will depend upon
from which side of the tool the Die and therefore the workpiece, is mounted.
If the workpiece is fixed, it will be necessary to remove the Die from the tool, in
order for it to be screwed on to the work, before it can be remounted in the tool.
ALWAYS allow the motor to stop completely before moving the FORWARD/REVERSE switch.
7. When the thread is completed, release the trigger to stop the machine. Allow the
motor to stop completely, then toggle the Forward/Reverse switch to the
position, opposite to that to which it was set. Switch the machine ON again
and allow the tool to run off the workpiece. Alternatively, if the workpiece is
free standing, disconnect the tool from the mains supply, then unscrew the
workpiece from the Die by hand.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING:
As with all machinery, there are certain hazards involved with their operation
and use. Exercising respect and caution will considerably lessen the risk of
personal injury. However, if normal safety precautions are overlooked or
ignored, personal injury to the operator or damage to property, may result.
1. ALWAY S Learn the machines’ applications, limitations and
the specific potential hazards peculiar to it. Read and
become familiar with the entire operating manual.
2. ALWAY S keep children away. All visitors should be kept a safe
distance from the work area, especially whilst operating the
machine.
3. ALWAYS check for damage. Before using the machine, any
damaged part, should be checked to ensure that it will
operate properly, and perform its intended function. Check
for alignment of moving parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and any other condition
that may affect the machines’ operation. Any damage should be properly repaired or
the part replaced. If in doubt, DO NOT use the machine.
Consult your local dealer.
4. ALWAYS keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents.
5. ALWAY S disconnect the tool/machine from the power supply
before servicing and when changing accessories.
6. ALWAY S wear safety goggles, manufactured to the latest
European Safety Standards. Everyday eyeglasses do not have impact resistant lenses,
they are not safety glasses.
7. ALWAYS ensure that adequate lighting is available. A minimum intensity of 300 lux should
be provided. Ensure that lighting is placed so that you will not be
working in your own shadow.
8. ALWAY S maintain machine in top condition. Keep tools/machines
clean for the best and safest performance. Follow maintenance
instructions.
9. ALWAY S handle with extreme care do not carry the tool/machine
by its’ electric cable, or yank the cable to disconnect it from the
power supply .
10. ALWAYS ensure the switch is off before plugging in to mains. Avoid accidental starting.
11. ALWAYS concentrate on the job in hand, no matter how trivial it may seem. Be aware
that accidents are caused by carelessness due to
familiarity.
12. ALWAYS keep your proper footing and balance at all
times - don’t overreach. For best footing, wear rubber
soled footwear. Keep floor clear of oil, scrap wood, etc.
