SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
2. Avoid unintentional starting.
Be sure the valves are closed before
connecting to the air supply. Do not connect
the tool to the air supply with the valves open.
3. Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
4. Use safety equipment.
A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and
a hard hat must be used for the
applicable conditions.
5. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
6. Always wear hearing protection
when using the tool.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause hearing loss.
7. Wear heavy-duty work gloves during use.
Tool Use and Care
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. Do not use the tool if the valves do not turn the
tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the valves is dangerous and must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the tool from the air source
before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool unintentionally. Close all valves, detach the
air supply, and pull on the safety valve to release all
residual air pressure before leaving the work area.
5. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach
of children and other untrained persons.
A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain the tool with care.
A properly maintained tool reduces the risk
of binding and is easier to control.
7. 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. Many accidents
are caused by poorly maintained tools.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
8. Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of
an accessory not intended for use with the specific
tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
3. Use only the lubricants supplied with the
tool or specified by the manufacturer.
