Air Tool Safety
Dangerous environment
• Always ensure that there is adequate clear space around the work
area. Only use spraying tools in a well ventilated area, or a specialist
spray booth.
• Be aware that air hoses can present a trip hazard, always lay hoses in a
way that minimises hazards.
Protect yourself from vibration
• Hand held air tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease.
Gloves to keep the operator warm may help to maintain good blood
circulation in the fingers. Hand held tools should not be used for long
periods without a break.
Maintain your air tool
• Ensure that you keep air tools clean and lubricated. Lubrication is
essential to prevent corrosion of internal parts, which could lead to
machine failure.
Always disconnect
• Always ensure that your air tool has fully stopped functioning before
putting it down.
• Disconnect any air tool from the air supply before performing any
servicing, or changing any blades, discs, or other attachments.
• Ensure that any blades, discs, or attachments, are correctly fitted before
reconnecting to air supply.
• Always make sure that your air tool is switched OFF before connecting
to air supply.
• Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always
bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply.
Use the correct air hose
• Use lightweight hoses from the tool to the wall, or compressor coupling.
• Most air tools should be fitted with a coil hose, only use a straight hose
with spray guns.
• When spraying, ensure that the gun is connected to a clean, filtered,
air supply.
Protect your eyes
• Always wear safety goggles, or safety glasses.
Protect your hearing
• Always wear ear protection.
• Do not abuse the machine.
• Do not overload the machine. Allowing the machine to work at its
optimum speed prolongs life, and is more efficient.
• Do not increase air pressure above the recommended level, excessive
pressure leads to wear of moving parts and possible failure. It can also
cause the machine casing to split.
• Do not attempt to modify air tools. Any attempt to modify your tool will
invalidate its warranty and could result in serious injury to you, or those
around you.
