WORK AREA

· Keep work area clean, free of clutter and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents.

· Do not use your Mini Thru-Hole Air Ratchet where there is a risk of causing a fire or an

explosion; e.g. in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. A Mini Thru-Hole Air Ratchet can

create sparks, which may ignite the dust or fumes.

· Keep children and bystanders away while operating the Mini Thru-Hole Air Ratchet. Distractions can

cause you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.

· Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes and other mechanical hazards in your

work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s view that may

be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.

· Be alert of your surroundings. Using the Mini Thru-Hole Air Ratchet in confined work areas may put

you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.

PERSONAL SAFETY

· Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the Thru-Hole Air

Ratchet. Do not use the Mini Thru-Hole Air Ratchet while you are tired or under the influence of drugs,

alcohol or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Mini Thru-Hole Air Ratchet may

result in serious personal injury.

· Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and

gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught in moving parts. Air

vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.

· Use safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields which

comply with current national standards, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty work

conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves,

dust collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.

· Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

· Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before connecting to the power supply or turning on the tool. A

wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.

PNEUMATIC TOOL USE AND CARE

· Do not force the tool. Pneumatic tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for which

they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.

· Never use a tool with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with the switch

is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before using.

· Disconnect air supply from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before making any

adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools. Such preventive safety measures reduce

the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
