Tool use and care
a. Use clamps or another practical
way 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.
b.
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.
c.
Do not use the tool if the valve
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
d.
Disconnect the tool from the air
source before making any adjust-
ments, 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.
e. Store the tool, when it is idle, out
of reach of children and other un-
trained persons. A tool is dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
f.
Maintain the tool with care. Keep a
cutting tool sharp and clean. A prop-
erly maintained tool, with sharp cut-
ting edges reduces the risk of binding
and is easier to control.
g.
Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
affects the tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools. There is a
risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
h.
Use only accessories that are
identified 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. Wheels and
other accessories running over rated
speed can fly apart and result in a
risk of injury to persons.
Service
a. Tool service must be performed
only by qualified repair personnel.
b.
When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Use
only authorized parts.
c.
Use only the lubricants supplied
with the tool or specified by the
manufacturer.
Air source
a.
Never connect to an air
source that is capable of
exceeding 90 psi. Over
pressurizing the tool may
cause bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury
to persons. Use only clean, dry,
regulated compressed air at the rated
pressure or within the rated pressure
range as marked on the tool. Always
verify prior to using the tool that the
air source has been adjusted to the
rated air pressure or within the rated
air-pressure range.
