Risk of eye or head injury

What could happen

How to prevent it

Air powered equipment are capable of propelling

materials such as fasteners, metal chips, saw dust,

and other debris at high speed, which could result in

serious eye injury.

Always wear safety glasses with side shields.

Never leave operating tool unattended. Disconnect air

hose when tool is not in use.

Wearing hearing protection and helmet during operation

is also strongly recommended.

Tool attachments can become loose or break and fly

apart propelling particles at the operator and others in

the work area.

For additional protection use an approved face shield in

addition to safety glasses.

Compressed air can be hazardous. The air stream can

cause injury to soft tissue areas such as eyes, ears, etc.

Particles or objects propelled by the stream can cause injury.

Make sure all connections are secure and check air

hoses for weak or worn condition before each use.

Risk of fire or explosion

What could happen

How to prevent it

Air nailers/staplers are capable of generating sparks

which could result in ignition of flammable materials.

Never operate tools near flammable substances as

gasoline, cleaning solvents, etc.

Work in a clean, well ventilated area.

Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or other gases as an

air source for air tools.

Exceeding the maximum pressure rating of tools

or accessories could cause an explosion resulting in

serious injury.

Use compressed air regulated to a maximum pressure at

or below the rated pressure of any attachments.

Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling that

automatically removes all pressure from the tool when

the coupling is disconnected.

Do not exceed maximum operating pressure of this tool

of 120 PSI.

Only use air hose that is rated for a maximum working

pressure of at least 120 PSI or 150% of the maximum

system pressure, which ever is greater.

Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source

has been adjusted to the rated air pressure range.
