For your safety and the safety of others, read and under-
stand the safety recommendations and operating instruc-
tions before operating any power tool with this balance
arm.
Always wear protective equipment:
For additional information on eye protection and face
protection, refer to Federal OSHA Regulations, 29 Code
of Federal Regulations, Section 1910.133., Eye and Face
Protection, and American National Standards Institute,
ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and Educational Eye and Face
Protection. Z87.1 is available from the American National
Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West 42nd Street, New York,
NY 10036.
Hearing protection is recommended in high noise areas
85 dBA or greater. The operation of other tools and
equipment in the area, reflective surfaces, process noises
and resonant structures can substantially contribute to,
and increase the noise level in the area. Excessive air
pressure above 90 PSIG or worn motor components can
also increase sound level emitted by tool. Proper hearing
conservation measures, including annual audiograms
and training in the use and fit of hearing protection devices
may be necessary. For additional information on hearing
protection, refer to Federal Regulations, Section 1910.95,
Occupational Noise Exposure, and American National
Standards Institute, ANSI S12.6, Hearing Protectors.
Safety Recommendations
Keep hands and fingers away from pinch points or any
placements of balance arm that will entrap hands or
fingers.
Before any tool is installed in the balance arm, check the
throttle (if so equipped) for proper operation (i. e., throttle
moves freely and returns to closed position). Being careful
not to endanger adjacent personnel, clear an air hose of
accumulated dust and moisture. Before connecting a tool
to an air supply or electrical circuit, removing a tool from
service or changing bits or sockets, make sure the air line
is shut off and drained of air or the electrical supply is shut
off. This will prevent the tool from operating if the throttle
is accidently engaged.
Some individuals may be susceptible to disorders of the
hands and arms when performing tasks consisting of
highly repetitive motions and/or exposure to extended
vibration. Cumulative trauma disorders such as carpal
tunnel syndrome and tendonitis may be caused or aggra-
vated by repetitious, forceful exertions of the hands and
arms. Vibration may contribute to a condition called
Raynaud's Syndrome. These disorders develop gradually
over periods of weeks, months, and years. It is presently
unknown to what extent exposure to vibrations or repeti-
tive motions may contribute to the disorders. Hereditary
factors, vasculatory or circulatory problems, exposure to
cold and dampness, diet, smoking and work practices are
thought to contribute to the conditions.
CAUTION
!
Pinch Hazard.
Keep hands and fingers
away from pinch point.
CAUTION!
Personal hearing protection is
recommended when operating
or working near this tool.
CAUTION !
WARNING!
Impact resistant eye protection
must be worn while operating
or working near this tool.
Repetitive work motions and/or vibration
may cause injury to hands and arms.
Use minimum hand grip force consistent
with proper control and safe operation.
Keep body and hands warm and dry.
Avoid anything that inhibits blood circulation.
Avoid continuous vibration exposure.
Keep wrists straight.
WARNING
!
Avoid repeated bending of wrists and hands.

Safety Recommendations
Work gloves with vibration reducing liners and wrist sup-
ports are available from some manufacturers of industrial
work gloves. Tool wraps and grips are also available from
a number of different manufacturers. These gloves, wraps,
and wrist supports are designed to reduce and moderate
the effects of extended vibration exposure and repetitive
wrist trauma. Since they vary widely in design, material,
thickness, vibration reduction, and wrist support qualities,
it is recommended that the glove, tool wrap, or wrist support
manufacturer be consulted for items designed for your
specific application. WARNING! Proper fit of gloves is
important. Improperly fitted gloves may restrict blood
flow to the fingers and can substantially reduce grip
strength.
For more information on the safe use of portable air tools,
see the latest edition of ANSI B186.1, Safety Code for
Portable Air Tools, available from the American National
Standards Institire, Inc. 11 West 42nd Street, New York,
NY 10036.
This information is a compilation of general safety practices
obtained from various sources available at the date of
production. However, our company does not represent that
every acceptable safety practice is offered herein, or that
abnormal or unusual circumstances may not warrant or
require additional procedures. Your work may require addi-
tional specific safety procedures. Follow these procedures
as required by your company.
Warning Labels
The warning labels found on these tools are an essential
part of this product. Labels should not be removed. Labels
should be checked periodically for ligibility. Replace warn-
ing labels when missing or when the information can no
longer be read. Replacement labels can be ordered as any
spare part.
Any tool operator should be aware of the following warning
signs and symptoms so that a problem can be addressed
before it becomes a debilitating injury. Any user suffering
prolonged symptoms of tingling, numbness, blanching of
fingers, clumsiness or weakened grip, nocturnal pain in the
hand, or any other disorder of the shoulders, arms, wrists,
or fingers is advised to consult a physician. If it is deter-
mined that the symptoms are job related or aggravated by
movements and postures dictated by the job design, it may
be necessary for the employer to take steps to prevent
further occurrences. These steps might include, but are not
limited to, repositioning the workpiece or redesigning the
workstation, reassigning workers to other jobs, rotating
jobs, changing work pace, and/or changing the type of tool
used so as to minimize stress on the operator. Some tasks
may require more than one type of tool to obtain the
optimum operator/tool/task relationship.
The following suggestions will help reduce or moderate the
effects of repetitive work motions and/or extended vibra-
tion exposure:
• Use a minimum hand grip force consistent with
proper control and safe operation
• Keep body and hands warm and dry (cold
weather is reported to be a major factor contrib-
uting to Raynaud's Syndrome)
• Avoid anything that inhibits blood circulation
—Smoking Tobacco (another contributing
factor)
—Cold Temperatures
—Certain Drugs
• Tasks should be performed in such a manner
that the wrists are maintained in a neutral posi-
tion, which is not flexed, hyperextended,
or turned side to side.
• Stressful postures should be avoided — select
a tool appropriate for the job and work location
• Avoid highly repetitive movements of hands
and wrists, and continuous vibration exposure
(after each period of operation, exercise to
increase blood circulation)
• Keep tool well maintained and replace worn
parts
