tool. Distractions are able to result in
the loss of control of the tool.

Personal safety

a.
Stay alert. Watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while
operating the tool increases the risk
of injury to persons.
b. Avoid unintentional starting. Be
sure the trigger is released before
connecting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your finger on the
trigger or connect the tool to the air
supply with the trigger depressed.
c. Remove adjusting keys and
wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool
increases the risk of personal injury.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
Use safety equipment. A
e.
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must
be used for the applicable
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.
f. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Wear ANSI-ap-
proved safety goggles.

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 trigger
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger 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 trigger 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.
Maintain the tool with care. Keep
f.
tools clean for better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for
lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tool cords and air hoses peri-
odically and, if damaged, have them
repaired by an authorized technician.
The handle must be kept clean, dry,
and free from oil and grease at all
times.
