Air Tool Safety

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 ill health. 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, face mask 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.
Always disconnect
• Ensure that your air tool has completely 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

• Do not aim the nailer away from the workpiece when connected to an

air supply

Never operate the tool with the safety mechanism disabled
• Never aim the tool towards other people in the work area or towards the

main reservoir tank of the air compressor

Do not operate the nailer when using ladders or scaffolding
• Never connect this tool to canisters or bottles containing combustible

gases or portable compressed air canisters or cartridges. It is designed to
be used with an air compressor
