the work area.
Keep proper footing at all times
when handling tools. Slipping,

tools when you are tired.
Operators must be able to easily
handle the entire weight of the tool in
operation, to maintain full control of
the tool 100% of the time.

dropped, damaged or appears to
malfunction. Never use tools that
are leaking air or have missing parts.

tools from the workplace immediately.
Do not use pressure exceeding the
recommended operating pressure of
any of the parts (hoses, fittings, etc.)
in the system.
Use only impact-grade sockets with
air impact tools. Always use
attachments rated for the speed of
the tool. Do not modify tools or
attachments.
Do not apply excessive force to the
tool; let the tool perform the work.
Follow lubrication instructions for
best and safest operation.
