GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS.
WARNING! When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including
the following.
WORK AREA
Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase
the risk of accidents.
Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The tool creates a spark which may ignite
flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
Keep bystanders, children, and others away while of operating the tool.
Distractions could result in improper use and cause injury.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating
power tool. Do not use tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool may cause serious injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep
your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key
that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increase the risk of personal injuries.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be
used for applicable conditions.
Always wear eye protection.
Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Extended exposure to high
intensity noise may cause hearing loss.
Disconnect the product from air source before making any adjustments.
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.
Accessories must be rated for at least the speed of the tool marked on the tool
label. Wheels and other accessories running over the rated speed can fly apart
and result in a risk of injury to persons.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead
to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do
the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk
of starting the tool accidentally.
Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
