Personal safety

a.Stay alert. Watch what you are do- ing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influ- ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica- tion. A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.

b.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.

c.Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the Trigger (56) is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the tool with your finger on the

Trigger or connect the tool to the air supply with the Trigger on.

d.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left at- tached to a rotating part of the tool increases the risk of personal injury.

e.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpect- ed situations.
