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.
