WORK AREA
Keep work area clean,
free of clutter and well lit.
Cluttered and dark work areas can cause
accidents.
Do not use your Grease Gun where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion;
e.g.
in the presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. A Grease Gun can create sparks, which
may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating the Grease Gun. Distractions can cause
you to lose control, so visitors should remain at a safe distance from the work area.
Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits,
water pipes and other mechanical hazards in
your work area, particularly those hazards below the work surface hidden from the operator’s
view that may be unintentionally contacted and may cause personal harm or property damage.
Be alert of your surroundings.
Using the Grease Gun in confined work areas may put you
dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert,
watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the Grease Gun.
Do not use the Grease Gun while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating the Grease Gun
may result in serious
personal injury.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or long hair can be caught
in moving parts. Air vents often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Use safety apparel and equipment.
Use ANSI-approved safety goggles or safety glasses with
side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use as dust mask in dusty work conditions. This
applies to all persons in the work area. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust
collection systems, and hearing protection when appropriate.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Remove adjusting keys or wrenches
before connecting to the power supply or turning on the
tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not force the tool.
Power tools do a better and safer job when used in the manner for
which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct tool for the job.
Never use a tool
with a malfunctioning switch.
Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative before
using.
Disconnect power supply
from tool and place the switch in the locked or off position before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing power tools.
Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the power tool accidentally.
Store idle tools.
When tools are not is use, store them in a dry, secure place out of the reach of
children. Inspect tools for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
