AIR TOOL PRECAUTIONS
1. Air tools produce more noise than their electric counterparts. Extended exposure to this noise may cause
hearing loss.
a. Wear ear protection gear to eliminate or reduce the noise.
b. If possible add a muffling device to the air tool's exhaust.
2. Do not operate this tool if the air hose is damaged.
a. Inspect the tool's air line for cracks, fraying or other faults before each use.
b. Discontinue use if a hissing can be heard from the air line or connectors while operating the tool.
c. Take the following steps if either of the above situations occur:
i. Tag or mark the tool as 'defective' or 'out of service' until repaired.
ii. Contact a qualified person repair or replace the defective component/hose.
3. Prevent damage to air hose by observing the following:
a. Never use the hose to carry the tool.
b. Keep the air hose of the tool and the tool's work path while in operation. The hose should always stay
behind the tool.
c. Keep the hose away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts.
d. Do not allow people, mobile equipment or vehicles to pass over unprotected air hose.
i. Position air hose away from traffic areas.
ii. Place hose in reinforced conduit.
iii. Place planks on either side of the hose to create a protective trench.
e. Do not wrap hose around the tool as sharp edges may pierce the hose or cause cracks if wound too
tight. Gently coil the hose and either hang on a hook or fasten with a device to keep hose together
when storing.
4. An air hose under pressure that is damaged or disconnected from an air tool may whip around and cause
damage to the work area or personal injury. Secure the compressor's air hose to a fixed or permanent
structure with clamps or cable ties.
