WEAR SAFETY GLASSES OR GOGGLES
Danger to the eyes always exists due to the possibility of
dust being blown up by the exhausted air or of a fastener fly-
ing up due to the improper handling of the tool. For these
reasons, safety glasses or goggles shall always be worn
when operating the tool.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye pro-
tection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to
the requirements of the American National Standards Insti-
tute, ANSI Z87.1 (Council Directive 89/686/EEC of 21 DEC.
1989) and provide both frontal and side protection.
The employer is responsible to enforce the use of eye pro-
tection equipment by the tool operator and all other person-
nel in the work area.
NOTE:
Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields
alone do not provide adequate protection.
2.
EAR PROTECTION MAY BE REQUIRED IN SOME ENVI-
RONMENTS
As the working condition may include exposure to high noise
levels which can lead to hearing damage, the employer and
user should ensure that any necessary hearing protection is
provided and used by the operator and others in the work area.
