not use a power tool while tired
or under the inuence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating a power
tool increases the risk of injury to
persons.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose b.
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons
as a result of being caught in moving
parts.
Avoid unintentional starting. c.
Be sure the trigger is off before
connecting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your nger on the
trigger or connect the tool to the air
supply with the trigger engaged.
Do not overreach. Keep proper d.
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
e. Use safety equipment. A
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must
be used for the applicable
conditions.
f. Always wear eye
protection. Wear ANSIapproved safety goggles.
g. Always wear hearing
protection when using
the tool. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause hearing loss.
Tool use and care
Do not force the tool.a. 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.
Do not use the tool if the trigger b.
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger is dangerous and
must be repaired.
Disconnect the tool from the c.
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 before leaving the work area.
Store the tool when it is idle out d.
of reach of children and other
untrained persons. A tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
Maintain the tool with care. e.
Keep the tool clean and free of
obstructions. A properly maintained
tool reduces the risk of accidents and
is easier to control.
Check for misalignment or binding f.
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.
