 Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
 Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust
mask in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection
systems, and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
 Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
 Remove keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to an air supply, power supply, or turning on
the spreader. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may cause
personal injury.
 Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety precaution
allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
 Do not force the spreader. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for
which they are designed. Plan your work and use the correct product for the job.
 Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the spreader will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate
the spreader with a damaged part.
 Store the spreader when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children.
Inspect the spreader for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
 Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your spreader.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure
than the tool itself.
 Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the spreader without the guards in
place.
