Your risk from exposure varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To
reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area and work with
approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles. (California Health & Safety Code 25249.5, et seq.)

Additional Safety Warnings
1. Repetitive motions or exposure to vibration may be harmful to your hands and arms.
2. When wearing gloves to operate the Air Hammer, make sure that the gloves do not
interfere with operating the trigger. Test your gloves with the trigger before attaching the
unit to an air source.
3. Never start the tool unless you have a firm grip with both hands and you are positioned at
your workpiece or area.
4. Before using the Air Hammer, know what is directly underneath the work area or
workpiece.
5. The Air Hammer can quickly penetrate material. If working directly on the ground, make
sure you are not directly above shallow cables, lines, or pipes.

surge forward suddenly. Make sure the immediate area is clear of other people or animals.
Spectators must stay at a safe distance.
7. Never point the tool or the air hose (not included) at anyone.
8. Keep your finger away from the trigger until you are ready to work.
