e)

Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of

moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may

affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power

tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly

maintained power tools

f)

Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting

tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely to bind and are easier

to control

g)

Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc. in accordance

with these instructions, taking into account the working

conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for

operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous

situation

Service

a)

Have your power tool serviced by a qualified repair person using

only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of

the power tool is maintained

Air Tool Safety

Dangerous environment

• Always ensure there is adequate clear space around the work area. Only

use spraying tools in a well ventilated area or a specialist spray booth. Be
aware that air hoses can present a trip hazard; always lay hoses in a way
that minimises hazards

Protect your eyes

• Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses

Protect your hearing

• Always wear ear protection

Protection from vibration

• Hand-held air tools may produce vibration and should not be used for

long periods without a break. Vibration can cause disease. Gloves may
help to maintain good blood circulation in the fingers.

Protective clothing

• Always wear appropriate protective equipment including but not limited

to overalls, gloves, facemask etc

• It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that other persons in the vicinity

of the work area are also equipped with the appropriate protective
equipment

Use the correct air hose

• Use lightweight hose to connect the tool to the air compressor
• Most air tools should be fitted with a coil hose; only use a straight hose

with spray guns

• When spraying, ensure that the gun is connected to a clean, filtered air

supply

Always disconnect

• Always ensure that your air tool has fully stopped functioning before

putting it down

• Disconnect an air tool from the air supply before performing any

servicing, or changing any blades, discs, or other attachments

• Ensure blades, discs or attachments are correctly fitted before

reconnecting to air supply

• Ensure the air tool is switched OFF before connecting to air supply. Be

aware that air tools may hold residual pressure after use. Always bleed
air pressure from the tool after shutting off air supply

Do not abuse the machine

• Do not overload the machine. Allowing the machine to work at its

optimum speed is more efficient and prolongs its service life

• Do not increase air pressure above the recommended level; excessive

pressure leads to wear of moving parts, possible failure and may cause
the machine casing to split

• Do not attempt to modify air tools. Any attempt to modify this air tool

could result in serious injury to you or others, and will invalidate its
warranty
