Hazard Warnings (cont’d)

RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK

What could happen:

• Using air tools to attach electrical wiring can result in electrocution, or death.
• Improper electrical connections can result in fires, electrocution, or death.
• If the tool is not provided with an insulated gripping surface. Contact with a “live” wire
  makes exposed metal tool parts “live”, resulting in possible electrocution or death.
• Fasteners coning in contact with hidden electrical wiring could cause electrocution or
  death.

How to prevent it:

• Never attach electrical wiring with energized tools.
• Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and
  refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.
• Thoroughly investigate the work piece for possible hidden wiring before performing
  work.
• A licensed electrician in accordance with all local and national codes must install all
  wiring.
• Never use an electric air compressor outdoors when it is raining or on a wet surface, 
  as it may cause an electric shock.
