c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is off before connecting
to the air supply. Do not carry the tool with your finger on the switch or
connect the tool to the air supply with the switch on.
d. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A key
or wrench attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected
situations.
f. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard
hat must be used for the applicable conditions.
g. Always wear eye protection.
h. Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause hearing loss.
i.
Do not attach the hose or tool to your body. Attach the hose to the
structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.
Always remain in a firmly balanced position
when using or handling the tool.
Avoid long extended periods of work with the
tool. Stop using the tool if you feel pain in
hands or arms.
j.
Hold tool by insulated gripping surface when performing an operation
where the tool may contact hidden wiring. Contacting a “live” wire will
make exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
k. Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
l.
Explore the workpiece to avoid contact with hidden wiring. Thoroughly
investigate the workpiece for possible hidden wiring before performing
work. Contact with live wiring will shock the operator.
m. Never point an air tool at oneself or any other person. Serious injury
could occur.
n. Do not put hands near or under moving parts.
Tool Use and Care
a. 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.
b. 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.
c. 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.
d.
Disconnect the tool from the air source before
making adjustments, doing tool maintenance,
clearing jams, leaving work area, loading, or unloading the tool.
Such
precautionary measures reduce the risk of injury to persons.
e. 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.
