Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Tools

10. USE PROPER AIR HOSE for the

tool. Make sure your air hose is in good condition and is long enough to reach your work without stretching.

11. WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry which may get caught in moving parts. Non-slip footwear is recommended. Wear a protective hair covering to contain long hair.

12. ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES.

Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

13. WEAR APPROVED HEARING PROTECTION. Air escaping from

pneumatic tools can exceed safe exposure limits and may cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure.

14. SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

15. MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE.

Keep tools lubricated and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

16. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL FIRING. Do not

carry tool with hand on trigger and always disconnect from air when not in use.

17. DISCONNECT TOOLS before servicing, changing accessories, or moving to another location.

18. DO NOT OVERREACH. Keep proper footing/balance at all times.

19. USE THE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult owner’s

manual for recommended accessories. The use of improper accessories may cause risk of injury.

20. CHECK FOR DAMAGED PARTS BEFORE USING. Check for binding

and alignment of parts, broken parts, part mounting, loose bolts, and any other conditions that mayaffect machine operation. Repair or replace damaged parts.

21. NEVER LEAVE UNATTENDED TOOL CONNECTED TO AIR. Disconnect

the air hose and do not leave tool until it is relieved of any built up pressure.

22. NEVER ALLOW UNTRAINED USERS TO USE THIS TOOL WHILE UNSUPERVISED.

23. IF YOU ARE UNSURE OF THE INTENDED OPERATION, STOP USING TOOL. Seek formal training

or research books or magazines that specialize in pneumatic tools.

Additional Safety Instructions for Paint Tanks

1. READ THIS MANUAL. This manual

contains proper operating instructions for this spray gun.

2. DESIGN MODIFICATIONS. Do not modify the tank design or construction. Drilling into the tank or weld attachments, or altering its design, could weaken the tank.

3. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE.

Clean and dry the tank and lid according to the instructions in this manual. Make sure all ports are free of hardened paint or other materials that could prevent free movement of air. Improper cleaning could allow pressure to rise to dangerous levels.

4. REACTIVE CHEMICALS. Do not use acids, caustic solutions, or halogenated hydrocarbon solvents. These chemicals can attack the lid gasket and safety valve seal, compromising the ability of the tank to hold pressure.

5. SAFETY VALVE MODIFICATIONS. Never adjust the safety valve to change its pressure setting or defeat its function. Tampering with the safety valve could allow tank pressure to rise to dangerous levels.

6. REMOVING LID. Do not try to remove the lid while the tank is under pressure, or you could cause an explosion. Follow the instructions in this manual for relieving pressure in the tank before removing the lid.

7. LID CLAMPS. Overtightening the lid clamps could cause them to weaken and fail, resulting in the lid propelling violently from the tank. Only tighten the clamps by hand. Do not use tools to tighten them.

8. NON-STANDARD COMPONENTS. Substituting non-standard components could weaken the tank or cause component failure. Only use components provided with your tank.

9. AT TACH MEN T S. Make sure equipment connected to the tank has a higher pressure rating than the regulated air pressure in the tank. Attachments with a pressure rating lower than the adjusted tank pressure could explode, resulting in serious personal injury.
