WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2. Do not operate pneumatic tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pneumatic tools create sparks
which may ignite flammables.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a pneumatic
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area
from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when
operating a pneumatic tool. Do not use a power tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating pneumatic tools may result in serious personal injury.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Throttle Lever is off before
connecting to the air supply. Carrying pneumatic tools with your finger on the
Throttle Lever, or connecting pneumatic tools to the air supply with the Throttle
Lever on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI approved safety goggles
underneath a full face shield, a dust mask or respirator, and hearing
protection.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to
a stable platform. Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of
control. Only work on a workpiece that is properly secured.
