SAFETY W ARNING & CAUTIONS

WARNING: When using pneumatic equipment, basic safety precautions should always be

2. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle machines, tools, or hoses.

inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.

4. DO NOT FORCE THE TOOL. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it
was intended. Do not use inappropriate attachments in an attempt to exceed the tool’s
capacities.

5. USE THE RIGHT TOOL FOR THE JOB. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment
to do the work of a larger industrial tool. Do not use a tool for a purpose for which it was not
intended.

parts. Non-skid footwear is recommended. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
