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 switch does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the switch 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. Turn off and detach the air supply,
safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the Trigger and/or turn the
switch to its off position 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. 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.
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.
