Disconnect the air tool from air supply
before changing tools or attachments,
servicing and during non-operation.
Do not depress trigger when connecting
the air supply hose.
Never trigger the tool when not applied
to a work object.
Attachments must be securely
attached. Loose attachments can cause
serious injury.
Protect air lines from damage or
puncture.
Never point an air tool at oneself or any
other person. Serious injury could occur.
Check air hoses for weak or worn
conditions before each use. Make sure all
connections are secure.
Use attachments designed for use with
air powered tool. Always examine
accessories before mounting for chips,
cracks, or signs of damage.
Never use mounted points or other
accessories that have been dropped or
exposed to water, solvent or extreme
temperature changes, it is a good practice
to operate the tool in a protected
enclosure for one minute after mounting
any accessory.
Always use accessories with an RPM
rating that meets or exceeds the tool
RPM rating.
Release all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,
relocate or perform any maintenance.
Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight
and ensure equipment is in safe working
condition.
Never carry a tool by the hose or pull
the hose to move the tool or a
compressor. Keep hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any
hose that is damaged, weak or worn.
Inhalation hazard: Abrasive tools, such
as grinders, sanders and cut-off tools
generate dust and abrasive materials
which can be harmful to human lungs
and respiratory system. Always wear
MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using
such tools.
Some materials such as adhesives and
tar, contain chemicals whose vapors
could cause serious injury with
prolonged exposure. Always work in a
clean, dry, well ventilated area.
Tools which contain moving elements,
or drive other moving tools, such as
grinding wheels, sockets, sanding
discs, etc., can become entangled in
hair, clothing, jewelry and other loose
objects, resulting in severe injury.
Never wear loose fitting apparel which
contains loose straps or ties, that could
become tangled in moving parts of the
tool. Remove any jewelry, watches, etc.,
which might become caught by the
tool. Keep hands away from moving
parts. Tie up or cover long hair.
Improperly maintained tools and
accessories can cause serious injury.
Maintain the tool with care. A properly
maintained tool, with sharp cutting
edges, reduces the risk of binding and
is easier to control.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is
damaged. Check for misallgnment 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.
Tools which cut, shear, drill, staple,
punch, chisel, etc. are capable of
causing serious injury. Keep the
working part of the tool away from
hands and body.
After an air tool has been lubricated, oil
will discharge through the exhaust port
during the first few seconds of
operation. Thus, the exhaust port must
be covered with a towel before applying
air pressure.
Always disconnect sander from air
supply before attaching the sanding
pad. Do not operate the sander if
sanding pad is not securely tightened.
Always replace a worn or damaged
pad. Serious injury could occur.
