🔍 Key Concepts

• Pneumatic vs. electric tools – which ones need electrical grounding and why • Hose and tool connections – what is normally used to keep an air tool from flying loose if the hose parts • Safe use in hazardous (explosive) atmospheres – what kinds of tools are generally acceptable there • Maintenance of needle‑scalers – when dull needles must be changed

💭 Think About

• Think about whether a pneumatic chipping tool presents an electrical shock risk that would require grounding, compared with an electric tool. • Consider how air hoses are usually secured for safety: do you rely only on a quick‑disconnect, or are other devices or methods used to prevent whipping if the coupling parts? • Ask yourself whether pneumatic tools are commonly chosen for use because they are safer in flammable areas, or whether they are generally prohibited there. • For the needle‑type chipping gun, consider why dull needles are dangerous and how specific maintenance requirements are normally written (exact fractions vs. vague language).

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which type of equipment must be electrically grounded under shipyard/industrial safety rules. • Check how air tools are normally secured to hoses – look for terms like safety chain, whip check, or safety cable instead of only quick‑disconnect devices. • Confirm whether pneumatic tools are generally allowed or forbidden in explosive atmospheres and under what conditions. • Check if regulations or manuals give a specific fraction of original diameter at which needle‑gun needles must be replaced.
