b. Do not operate the tool in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of ammable liquids,
gases, or dust. The tool is able to
create sparks resulting in the ignition
of the dust or fumes.
c. Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating the
tool. Distractions are able to result in
the loss of control of the tool.
Personal safety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the inu-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while
operating the tool increases the risk
of injury to persons.
b. Avoid unintentional starting. Be
sure the switch is off before con-
necting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your nger on the
switch or connect the tool to the air
supply with the switch on.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpect-
ed situations.
d. Use safety equipment. A
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must
be used for the applicable
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.
e. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Wear ANSI-ap-
proved safety goggles.
Tool use and care
a. Use clamps or another practical
way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against
the body is unstable and is able to
lead to loss of control.
b. Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which the tool is
designed.
c. Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
d. Disconnect the tool from the air
source before making any adjust-
ments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool unintentionally. Turn
off and detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure,
and release the throttle and/or turn
the switch to its off position before
leaving the work area.
e. Store the tool when it is idle out of
reach of children and other un-
trained persons. A tool is dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
f. Check for misalignment or bind-
ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
affects the tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools. There is a
risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
