TOOL USE AND CARE

1. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.

2. Do not use the Compressor if the Pressure Switch (57) does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with its pressure switch is dangerous and must be replaced.

3. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

4. Maintain tools with care. Properly maintained tools with a sharp cutting edge are less likely to bind and are easier to control. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until repaired.
