Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught i mov-

recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach
over or across running tools or air hoses.
Disconnect air hose and release any built-up air pressure. Never service the
Riveter or disassemble with the air hose attached. Always release any built-up air
even after disconnecting hose. Disconnect the Riveter when not in use.
Remove adjusting wrenches. Check that adjusting wrenches are removed from
the tool and work surface before attaching to an air source.
Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the Trigger (25) is in the OFF position when
not in use and before plugging in. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the
Trigger, whether it is attached to an air source or not. Do not point the tool towards
yourself or anyone.
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any
tool when you are tired.
Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform
its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken
parts, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not
