Safety Information (continued)

AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR TOOL SAFETY

1.  Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in output 

pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure of this air 
tool.

2.  Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or 

snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may 
become damaged.

3.  Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.

4.  Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning 

label.

5.  Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not 

function properly.

6.  Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals.

7.  Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is 

dusty. 

WARNING:

 Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, 

grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains 
chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other 
reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

Lead from lead based paint, crystalline silica from bricks 
and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and 
chromium from chemically-treated lumber.

Your risk from those exposures varies, depending on how 
often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to 
these chemicals: work in a well-ventilated area, and work 
with approved safety equipment, such as dust masks that 
are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Important Warnings - Drills  

1.  Remove the chuck key before drill starts. 

2.  High reaction torque can be developed in the case of stalling, which can be caused by excessive loads being applied to 

the drill bit, by the drill bit snagging on the material being drilled into or by the drill bit breaking through the material being 
drilled. 

3.  In cases where the means to absorb the reaction torque are requested, it is recommended to use a suspension arm 

whenever possible. If that is not possible, side handles are recommended for straight-case tools and pistol grip tools. In any 
case, it is recommended to use a means to absorb the reaction torque above 4 Nm for straight tools and above 10 Nm for 
pistol grip tools. 

4.  Keep hands away from the rotating chuck and drill bit.
