ing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. 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

carry the tool with your finger on the
Trigger or connect the tool to the air
supply with the Trigger on.

Remove adjusting keys and
wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-
