Air Tool Safety
Dangerous environment
• Always ensure that there is adequate clear space around the work area
• Be aware that air hoses can present a trip hazard, always lay hoses in
way that minimises hazards
Protect yourself from vibration
• Hand held air tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause disease
• Gloves to keep the operator warm may help to maintain good blood
circulation in the fingers. Hand held tools should not be used for long
periods without a break
Maintain your air tool
• Ensure that you keep air tools clean and lubricated. Lubrication is
essential to prevent corrosion of internal parts, which could lead to
machine failure
Always disconnect
• Always ensure the air tool has fully stopped functioning before putting
it down
• Disconnect any air tool from the air supply before performing any
servicing, or changing any blades, discs, or other attachments
• Ensure that any blades, discs, or attachments, are correctly fitted before
reconnecting to air supply
• Always make sure that your air tool is switched OFF before connecting
to air supply
• Be aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always
bleed air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply
Use the correct air hose
• Use lightweight hoses from the tool to the wall, or compressor coupling
• Most air tools should be fitted with a coil hose, only use a straight hose
with spray guns
• When spraying, ensure that the gun is connected to a clean, filtered,
air supply
Protect your eyes
• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses
Protect your hearing
• Always wear ear protection
Do not abuse the machine
• Do not overload the machine. Allowing the machine to work at its
optimum speed prolongs life and is more efficient
• Do not increase air pressure above the recommended level, excessive
pressure leads to wear of moving parts and possible failure. It can also
cause the machine casing to split
• Do not attempt to modify air tools. Any attempt to modify your tool will
invalidate its warranty and could result in serious injury to you or those
around you
Use of spray guns
• Do not aim a spray gun at people or animals
• When spraying keep away from heat and naked flames
• Always wear appropriate protective equipment including, but not
limited to overalls, gloves, facemask etc.
• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that any other persons in the
vicinity of the work area are also equipped with the appropriate
protective equipment

Dangerous environment
• Do not use power tools in damp or wet conditions, or expose them to
rain. Provide adequate surrounding work space and keep the area well
lit. Do not use power tools where there is a risk of explosion or fire from
combustible material, flammable liquids, flammable gases, or dust of
an explosive nature. When using power tools, avoid contact with any
earthed items such as pipes, radiators, cookers, refrigerators, metal
baths and taps
Protect yourself from vibration
• Hand-held power tools may produce vibration. Vibration can cause
disease. Gloves may help to maintain good blood circulation in the
fingers. Hand-held tools should not be used for long periods without
a break
Maintain your power tool
• Ensure all ventilation holes are kept clear at all times, otherwise
overheating and fire may occur
Always disconnect
• Before changing fittings or accessories, always disconnect the tool from
the power source
Switch off before connecting
• Ensure the power tool is switched off before connecting to the power
source. If the power tool stops unexpectedly, turn the power switch to
OFF
Do not abuse the power cable
• Be sure the cable / extension cable is in good condition. Always have
a damaged cable / extension cable replaced at an authorised service
centre before using. Never pull the cable to disconnect it from the power
socket. Never carry the tool by its cable. Keep the cable away from
damp, heat, oil, solvents, and sharp edges
Do not modify the power tool
• Do not modify the power tool in any way as this could result in serious
injury and may invalidate its guarantee
Do not leave the tool running unattended
• Always wait until the tool has completely stopped functioning and has
been unplugged before leaving it unattended
