General Tool Handling Guidelines:
1.
Always assume that the
tool
contains fasteners.
2.Do
not point the tool toward yourself
or
anyone
whether
it
contains fasteners
or
not.
3.
Never depress the operating control unless the
nosepiece of the
tool
is
directed toward the
workpiece.
4.Respect the
tool
as a working implement.
5.
No
horseplay.
Sparks sometimes fly when the tool
is
used.
Do
not
use the
tool
near volatile, flammable materials such
as gasoline, thinner, paint, gas, adhesives, etc.; they
will ignite and explode, causing serious injury.
The area should be sufficiently illuminated to assure
safe operations.
The area should be clear and litter-
free.
Be
espe-
cially careful to maintain good footing and balance.
