WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other related
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. A listing of chemicals can be obtained from
www.oehha.ca.gov under proposition 65. Some examples of these chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Users of these tools should review the chemical composition of the work surface
and any products in conjunction with the operation of these tools for any such
chemicals prior to engaging in any activity that creates dust and/or microscopic
particles.
Users should obtain the material safety data sheets from all identified chemicals,
either from the manufacturer or their employer, and proceed to study, understand,
and follow all instructions and warnings for exposure to such chemicals. Your risk
from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially
designed to filter out microscopic particles.
WARNING
RISK OF EYE OR HEAD INJURY
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
Air powered tools are capable of
propelling materials such as fasteners,
metal chips, sawdust and other debris
at high speed which could result in
serious eye injury.
Compressed air can be hazardous. The
air system can cause injury to soft
tissue areas such as eyes, ears, etc.
Particles or objects propelled by the
stream can cause injury.
Tool attachments can become loose or
break and fly apart propelling articles at
the operator and others in the work
area.
WARNING
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
WARNING
An impact wrench would be capable of
generating sparks, which could result in
ignition of flammable materials.
Exceeding the maximum pressure
rating of tools or accessories could
cause an explosion resulting in
serious injury.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Never operate tools near flammable
substances such as gasoline, naphtha,
cleaning solvents, etc.
Work in a clean, well-ventilated area
free of combustible materials.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or
other bottled gases as a power source
for air tools.
Use compressed air regulated to a
maximum pressure at or below the
rated pressure of any attachments.
Never connect to an air source that is
capable of exceeding 200 PSI.
Always verify prior to using the tools
that the air source has been adjusted
to the rated air pressure range.
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT

INHALATION HAZARD
Abrasive tools, such as grinders,
sanders and cut-off tools generate dust
and abrasive materials, which can be
harmful to human lungs and respiratory
system.
Some materials such as adhesives and
tar contain chemicals whose vapors
could cause serious injury with
prolonged exposure.
Always wear properly fitting facemask
or respirator when using such tools.
Always work in a clean, dry,
well-ventilated area.

a rotating part of the tool increases the
risk of personal injury.
Using inflator nozzles for duster
applications can cause serious injury.
Air tools can become activated by
accident during maintenance or tool
changes.
