PNEUMATIC TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
GENERAL AIR TOOL SAFETY WARNINGS
WARNING! Read all safety warnings and all instructions. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions
may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
Please read and observe these operating instructions before using the tool. Basic safety measures should always be
strictly followed to protect against damage to the equipment and personal injury to the user or other people working
in the vicinity of operation.
1. Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Do not operate power tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases or dust.
Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or fumes.
c. Keep children and bystanders away while operating a power tool. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
d. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, jewellery or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
e. Check the maximum pressure rating of any tools or accessories that you intend using with the compressor. The
output pressure of the air from the compressor must be regulated so that it never exceeds the rated pressure of
the tool or accessory.
f. Always wear high safety goggles or glasses when using the air tools. Never point the air tool towards any part of
your body or towards another person.
g. Drain the moisture from the tank daily. It will help prevent corrosion.
h. Use safety equipment including safety goggles and ear protection, the tool operator and all persons in the working
