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 handles 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.Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before connecting the tool.
12.Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is released when not in use and be- fore connecting to the air source. Do not carry any tool with your finger on the trigger, whether it is connected or not.
13.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
14.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 dam- aged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician. Do not use the tool if the trigger does not operate properly.
15.Guard against electric shock. Prevent body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerator enclosures.
