tool use and care

1. 

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.

2. 

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.

3. 

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.

4. 

Disconnect the tool from the air source 

before making any adjustments, 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.

5. 

Store the tool when it is idle out of reach 

of children and other untrained persons.

  

A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

6. 

Maintain the tool with care.  

Keep a cutting 

tool sharp and clean.  A properly maintained tool, 

with sharp cutting edges reduces the risk 

of binding and is easier to control.

7. 

check for misalignment or binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition 

that affects the tool’s operation.  

If damaged, 

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.

8. 

use only accessories that are identified by the 

manufacturer for the specific tool model.

  Use of 

an accessory not intended for use with the specific 

tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
