PERSONAL SAFETY
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are
doing and use common sense
when operating the tool. Do not
use the tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol,
or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to
persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long
hair increases the risk of injury to
persons as a result of being caught
in moving parts.
c. Avoid unintentional starting.
Be sure the switch is off before
connecting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your finger on
the switch or connect the tool to the
air supply with the switch on.
d. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
e. Use safety equipment. A dust mask,
non-skid safety shoes and a hard
hat must be used for the applicable
conditions.
f. Always wear eye
protection.
g. Always wear hearing
protection when using
the tool. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause
hearing loss.
h. Do not attach the hose or tool to
your body. Attach the hose to the
structure to reduce the risk of loss of
balance if the hose shifts.
i. Always assume that the tool
contains fasteners. Do not point
the tool toward yourself or anyone
whether it contains fasteners or not.

TOOL USE AND CARE
a. Use clamps or another practical way
to secure and support the workpiece
to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss
of control.
b. Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which the
tool is designed.
c. Do not use the tool if the switch
does not turn the tool on or off. Any
tool that cannot be controlled with
the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
d. Disconnect the
tool from the air
source before making adjustments,
doing tool maintenance, clearing
jams, leaving work area,loading,
or unloading the tool.
Such
precautionary measures reduce the
risk of injury to persons.
e. Store the tool when it is idle out
of reach of children and other
untrained persons. A tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep
a cutting tool sharp and clean. A
properly maintained tool, with sharp
cutting edges reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.
g. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of parts,
and any other condition that affects
the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using.
Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained tools. There is a risk of
bursting if the tool is damaged.
