PERSONAL SAFETY
•
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a power tool.
Do not use a power tool when tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating power tools may result in serious injury.
•
Dress appropriately. 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.
•
Proper safety apparel and equipment. Use safety goggles or safety glasses with side shields
that comply with current national standards. Use a face shield when necessary. Use a dust
mask in dusty work conditions. This applies to all persons in the work area. Also use
non-skid safety shoes, a hardhat, gloves, a dust collection system, and hearing protection
when necessary.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Do not carry the power tool with your finger on the switch. Ensure
the switch is in the off position before plugging tool into power outlet. In the event of a power
failure, while using a tool, turn the switch to off to prevent a surprise start when power is
restored.
•
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 serious
injury.
•
Always wear eye protection. The rechargeable grease gun can generate up to 7000PSI.
Grease injection injuries can be very serious.
•
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the switch is not depressed when inserting battery pack.
•
Check the hose for kinks before operating.
