Operators Instructions and Safety Precautions
This is meant to highlight sections of safety standards published by the American National Standards
Institute and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. This is not meant to replace those
standards but only highlight certain areas.
When care is taken to ensure that the right tool is operated properly, and safety and maintenance
procedures are followed, accidents can be avoided. Read and follow all instructions and directions.
Comply with all rules governing the use of power tools, personal protective equipment and equipment
guards.
Remember - machines, attachments and accessories must be used only for the purpose for which
they were designed. Safety reasons and product liability prohibit any modifications to tools. Any
attachments or accessories must be agreed to in advance with an authorized technical representative
of T.C. Service Co.
Check hose size and air pressure. The air pressure at the tool shall not exceed 90 psi (6.2 bar). All
hoses should be inspected regularly and kept away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Be sure the tool
is secured to the air hose.
Proper mounting of inserted tooling is crucial to safe operation and efficient working conditions.
Ensure the exhaust air is directed away from bystanders.
Always wear eye and hearing protection, and when necessary, other
personal protective equipment such as gloves, an apron, and helmet.
Properly fitted protective clothing cushion the operator from vibration
exposure and help prevent minor scrapes that might occur as a result of
guiding the tool along the work piece.
Additional information on eye protection is available in the following
national regulatory standards.
1) Federal OSHA Regulations 29 CFR, Section 1910.133 (Eye and Face
Protection)
2) ANSI Z87.1 (Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection)
Airborne particulate resulting from the metal
removal process can cause hazards. Wear
appropriate protective equipment.
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before doing any service.
This prevents accidental start-ups. Never start the tool with the
chisel or needles pointed at yourself or another person.
