Safety Precautions while Operating Air Tools
Air tools operate on compressed air supplied by the shop air
system (Compressor & Air supply system).
Observe the following safety related precautions when using an
air tool.
• It is advisable to fit a pressure regulator (FRL:- Filter
Regulator Lubricator) in the pneumatic line which supplies air
pressure to the air tool. It regulates the outlet pressure to
@6.5 Kg/cm² . This avoids the risk of personal injury.
• Never use the blow gun to blow dust off your clothes and
never point it at anyone. The air pressure can drive dust
particles at high speed. These particles can penetrate the
flesh or eyes. High pressure air hitting on open wound can
force air into the blood stream. This can result in death.
• Never look into the air outlet of a pneumatic tool.
• Never blow-clean brake or clutch parts. This could put
asbestos dust particles into the air which are harmful to inhale.
(These particles are cancerous - can lead to Cancer).
