RISK OF INJURY (continued)
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
• Improperly maintained tools and accessories can cause
serious injury.
• There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
Use only accessories identified by the manufacturer to
be used with specific tools.
RISK OF ELETRIC SHOCK
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
• Using air tools to attach electrical wiring can result in
electrocution or death.
• This tool is not provided with an insulated gripping
surface. Contact with a "live" wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and can result in
electrocution or death.
• Fasteners coming in contact with hidden electrical
wiring could cause electrocution or death.
RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
• Tools which contain moving elements, or drive other mov-
ing tools, such as grinding wheels, sockets, sanding discs,
etc. can become entangled in hair, clothing, jewelry and
other loose objects, resulting in severe injury.
RISK OF CUT OR BURNS
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
• Tools which cut, shear, drill, staple, punch, chisel, etc.
are capable of causing serious injury.

HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Maintain the tool with care.
• Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean. A properly
maintained tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the
risk of binding and is easier to control.
• Check for misalignment 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.
• Use of an accessory not intended for use with the
specific tools, increases the risk of injury to persons.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never use nailer/staplers to attach electrical wiring
while energized.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
• Thoroughly investigate the workpiece for possible
hidden wiring before performing work.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Never wear loose fitting clothes, or apparel which
contains loose straps or ties, etc. which could become
entangled in moving parts of the tool.
• Remove any jewelry, watches, identifications, bracelets,
necklaces, etc. which might become caught by the
tool.
• Keep hands away from moving parts. Tie up or cover
long hair.
• Always wear proper fitting clothing and other safety
equipment when using this tool.
HOW TO PREVENT IT
• Keep the working part of the tool away from hands and
body.
