WARNING
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
lead from lead-based paints,
crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and
arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber.
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.

GENERAL SAFETY RULES
Read and understand all instructions.
Failure to follow all instructions listed in the following pages may result in electric shock,
fire, and/or serious injury.
WORK AREA
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas invite
accidents.
2.Do not operate pneumatic tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pneumatic tools create sparks which
may ignite flammables.
3.Keep bystanders, children, pets and onlookers away while operating a pneumatic
tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area from
debris such as metal filings and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.

PERSONAL SAFETY
1.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a
pneumatic tool. Do not use a pneumatic tool while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating pneumatic tools may
result in serious personal injury.
2.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
3.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the trigger is off before connecting to the air
supply. Carrying pneumatic tools with your finger on the trigger, or connecting pneumatic
tools to the air supply with the trigger on, invites accidents.
