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 coming 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.
RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT
What could happen:
• Tools containing moving elements or driving other moving tools (grinding wheels,
sockets, sanding discs, etc.) can become entangled in hair, clothing, jewelry and
other loose objects, resulting in injury.
How to prevent it:
• Never wear loose fitting clothes or apparel that contain loose straps, ties, etc.
which could become entangled in moving parts.
• Remove any jewelry, watches, identifications, necklaces, etc. which might become
caught by the tool.
• Keep hands away from moving parts. Tie up or cover long hair.
