INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including

the following:

GENERAL

a.To reduce the risks of

electric shock, fire, and

MANUAL

injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the tool.

WORK AREA

a.Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.

b.Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,

or dust. The tool is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

c.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the tool.

PERSONAL SAFETY

a.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. 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 switch is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not carry the tool with your finger on the switch or connect the tool to the air supply with the switch on.

d. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and

balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

e.Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.

f.Always wear eye

protection.

g.Always wear hearing protection when using

the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause hearing loss.

Risk of

Electric

Shock. This tool is not provided with an insulated gripping surface. Contact

with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and a risk of electric shock to the operator.

h.Avoid body contact with

grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if your body is grounded.

i.Explore the workpiece to avoid contact with hidden wiring. Thoroughly investigate the workpiece for possible hidden wiring before performing work. Contact with live wiring will shock the operator.

TOOL USE AND CARE

a.Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

b.Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.
