PERSONAL SAfETY

Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating an inflator. Do not use
inflator while tired or under the influence of drugs,
alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while
operating inflator may result in serious personal injury.

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair can be caught in moving parts.

Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is in the
locked or off position before inserting battery pack.
Carrying inflators with your finger on the switch or insert-
ing the battery pack into an inflator with the switch on
invites accidents.

Do not overreach. keep proper footing and balance
at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better
control of the inflator in unexpected situations.

Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection.
Dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing
protection must be used for appropriate conditions.

Eye protection is required to guard against flying
fasteners and debris which could cause severe eye
injury.

Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be drawn
into air vents.

Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the
inflator in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE

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

Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each
use, making certain all connections are secure.
Do not
use if defect is found. Purchase a new hose or notify an
authorized service center for examination or repair.

Release all pressures within the system slowly. Dust
and debris may be harmful.

Do not use inflator if switch does not turn it on or off.
An inflator that cannot be controlled with the switch is
dangerous and must be repaired.

Disconnect battery pack from inflator or place the
switch in the locked or off position before making
any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing
the inflator.
Such preventive safety measures reduce the
risk of starting the inflator accidentally.

Store idle inflators out of reach of children and other
untrained persons.
Inflators are dangerous in the hands
of untrained users.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from
other metal objects like: paper clips, coins, keys, nails,
screws, or other small metal objects that can make
a connection from one terminal to another.
Shorting
the battery terminals together may cause sparks, burns,
or a fire.

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,

breakage of parts, and any other condition that may

affect the inflator’s operation. if damaged, have the

inflator serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.

Use only accessories that are recommended by the
manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be
suitable for one inflator may create a risk of injury when
used on another inflator.

keep the inflator and its handle dry, clean and free

from oil and grease. Always use a clean cloth when

cleaning. Never use brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, or any strong solvents to clean your

inflator. Following this rule will reduce the risk of loss of
control and deterioration of the enclosure plastic.
