to secure and support the workpiece

to a stable platform. Holding the work

by hand or against the body is unstable

and is able to lead to loss of control.

2.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct

tool for the application. The correct tool

will do the job better and safer at the

rate for which the tool is designed.

3.

Do not use the tool if the switch does

not turn the tool on or off. Any tool

that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired.

4.

Disconnect the tool from the air source

before making any adjustments,

changing accessories, or storing the tool.

Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the tool unintentionally.

Turn off and detach the air supply, safely

discharge any residual air pressure, and

release the throttle and/or turn the switch to

its off position before leaving the work area.

5.

Store the tool when it is idle out of reach

A tool is dangerous in the

hands of untrained users.

check for misalignment or binding

of moving parts, breakage of parts,

and any other condition that affects

the tool’s operation. If damaged,

have the tool serviced before using.

maintained tools. There is a risk of

bursting if the tool is damaged.

7.

by the manufacturer for the specific

tool model. Use of an accessory not

intended for use with the specific tool model,

increases the risk of injury to persons.
