WORK AREA
·
Keep work area clean,
free of clutter and well lit.
Cluttered and dark work areas can cause accidents.
·
Do not use your Air Scaler where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion;
e.g. in the
presence of flammable liquids, gasses, or dust. An Air Scaler can create sparks, which may ignite the
dust or fumes.
·
Keep children and bystanders
away while operating the Air Scaler. 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
Air Scaler 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 Air Scaler. Do not
use the Air Scaler while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment
of inattention while operating the Air Scaler
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.
PNEUMATIC TOOL USE AND CARE
·
Do not force the tool.
Pneumatic 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 air 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.
·
Secure work
with clamps or a vise instead of your hand to hold work when practical. This safety
precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
