SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF INJURY
WHAT COULD HAPPEN HOW TO PREVENT IT
A tool left unattended or with the air hose
attached can be activated by unauthorized
persons leading to injury.
Remove air hose when tool is not in use
and store tool in secure location away from
reach of children and untrained users.
Air tools can inadvertently propel fasteners
or other materials in work area.
Use only parts, fasteners and accessories
recommended by SGS Engineering.
Keep work area clean and free of clutter.
Keep children and others away from tool
while it is in operation.
Keep work area well lit.
A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool increases the risk of
personal injury.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches be-
fore turning the tool on.
Using inflator nozzles for duster applications
can cause serious injury.
DO NOT use inflator nozzles for duster ap-
plications.
Air tools can become activated by accident
during maintenance or tool changes.
Remove air hose to lubricate or add grind-
ing attachments, sanding discs, drills, etc.
to the tool.
Never carry the tool by the hose.
Avoid unintentional starting. Don’t carry the
tool with a finger on the trigger.
Only an authorised service representative
should perform repair servicing.
Air tools can cause the work piece to move
upon contact, leading to injury.
Use clamps or other devices to prevent
movement.
Loss of control of the tool can lead to injury
to self or others.
Never use tool while using drugs or alcohol.
Don’t over-reach. Keep proper footing and
balance. Keep handles dry, clean and free
from oil/grease. Stay alert. Watch what
you are doing. Use common sense. Do not
operate the tool when you are tired.
Poor quality, improper or damaged tools
such as grinding wheels, chisels, sockets,
drills, nailers, staplers, etc. can fly apart dur-
ing operation, propelling particles through-
out the work area causing serious injury.
Always use tool attachments rated for the
speed of the power tool. Never use tools
which have been dropped, impacted or
damaged by use. Use only impact grade
sockets on an impact wrench. Do not apply
excessive force to the tool; let the tool
perform the work.
