Important Safety Instructions
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A
RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK,
OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions
should always be followed, including the following:
Work Area
a.
Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the
risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
b.
Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. The tool is able to create sparks
resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.
c.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating the tool. Distractions are able
to result in the loss of control of the tool.
Personal Safety
a.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
b.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to
persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.
c.
Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
d.
Use safety equipment. A dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat
must be used for the applicable
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.
e.
Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
f.
Always wear hearing protection when
using the tool. Prolonged exposure to
high intensity noise is able to cause
hearing loss.
Tool Use and Care
a.
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.
b.
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,
