WORK AREA / PERSONAL SAFETY / TOOL CARE
1.
Keep work area clean.
Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2.
Observe work area conditions.
Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
3.
Keep bystanders, pets and children away.
Children must never be allowed in the work
area. Do not let them handle machines, tools, extension cords, or air hoses.
4.
Store idle equipment.
When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit
rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
5.
Use the right tool for the job.
Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the
work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain applications for which this tool was
designed. It will do the job better and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do
not modify this tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
6.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be caught in moving
parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are
recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair. Always
wear steel toe shoes when operating the Air Die Grinder.
7.
Use eye and ear protection.
Always wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles and ear
protection.
8.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Do not reach over or
across running machines or air hoses.
9.
Maintain tools with care.
Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool cords and air hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handle
must be kept clean, dry, and free from oil and grease at all times.
10.
Disconnect air supply.
Disconnect air hose when not in use.
11.
Avoid unintentional starting.
Be sure the trigger is not depressed when carrying the Air
Die Grinder.
12.
Stay alert
. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when
you are tired.
13.
Check for damaged parts.
Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should
be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended
function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting
fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is
damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the
Air Die Grinder if the trigger does not turn on and off properly.
14.
Guard against electric shock.
Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
15.
Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
Read warning labels on
prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If
there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
16.
Use proper size and type extension cord.
If an extension cord is required for the air
compressor, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool
without heating up. Otherwise, the extension cord could melt and catch fire, or cause
electrical damage to the tool. Check your compressor’s manual for the appropriate size
cord.
