others.

times.

sense. Do not operate tool when you are tired.
• Poor quality, improper, or damaged tools such as
grinding wheels, chisels, sockets, drills, nailers, staplers,
etc., can fly apart during operation, propelling particles
throughout the work area causing serious injury.
• Always use tool attachments rated for the speed of the
air tool.
• Never use air tools which have been dropped, impacted
or damaged by use.
• Use only impact grade sockets on an impact wrench.
• Do not apply excessive force to the tool, let the tool

• Do not pull trigger unless tool contact safety device is
against work surface.
• Never attempt to drive fasteners into hard surfaces such

fastener.
• Position tool carefully so that fasteners will be delivered
to the proper location.

breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using.

be used with specific tools.
• Use of an accessory not intended for use with the
specific tools, increases the risk of injury to persons.
