Grizzly T23094 owner manual Additional Safety Instructions for Pneumatic Shears

USE PROPER AIR HOSE for the tool. Make sure your air hose is in good condition and is long enough to reach your work without stretching.

SECURE WORK. Use clamps or a vise to hold work when practical. It is safer than using your hand and frees both hands to operate tool.

MAINTAIN TOOLS WITH CARE. Keep tools lubricated and clean for best and safest performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.

PREVENT ACCIDENTAL OPERATION. Do not carry tool with hand on trigger and always disconnect from air when not in use.

BE AWARE OF HOSE LOCATION. Hoses

can easily become a tripping hazard when laid across the floor in a disorganized

fashion.

WEAR APPROVED HEARING PROTECTION. Air escaping from pneumatic tools can exceed safe exposure limits and may cause hearing damage with prolonged exposure.

AIR LINE CONNECTION INSPECTION. An air line that becomes disconnected from a tool can whip violently, causing severe injury. Verify that air line is properly connected and the fittings are tight and free of leaks. A leaking fitting can indicate the fitting is cracked and is about to fail.

WEAR PROPER APPAREL. Do not wear loose clothing, gloves, neckties, rings, bracelets, or other jewelry that may get caught in moving parts. Non- slip footwear is recommended. Wear a protective hair covering to contain long hair.

ALWAYS USE SAFETY GLASSES. Also use a face or dust mask if cutting operation is dusty. Everyday eyeglasses only have impact resistant lenses, they are NOT safety glasses.

CHANGING BITS. When servicing or removing metal from the jaws, disconnect the shear from air to prevent an accidental start-up injury.

TOOL STABILITY. To establish the best control possible when cutting, hold the handle and housing with two hands, and stabilize your hands and body against

afixed object. When free-hand cutting (using one hand) use a guide to slide the pneumatic shear along when making the cut to avoid severe injury.

No list of safety guidelines can be complete. Every shop environment is different. Always consider safety first, as it applies to your individual working conditions. Use this and other tools with caution and respect. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury, damage to equipment or poor work results.
