WARNING
INHALATION HAZARD
Poor quality, improper or damaged
attachments can detach or fly apart
during operation, sending projectiles
through the work area and causing
serious injury.
Always follow assembly, operation,
maintenance and repair instructions.
Improperly maintained tools and
accessories can cause serious
injury.
Maintain the tool and accessories
with care. Do not abuse hoses or
connectors.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and
sharp edges. Always check air hoses
for weak or worn connections before
each use and make certain that all
connections are secure.
Keep tools clean and properly oiled
for best and safest performance.
Using an accessory not intended for
a specific tool increases the risk of
injury to the operator and everyone
else in the work area.
Always use accessories and
attachments designed for the tool
and the work at hand.
Do not improvise or modify tools or
accessories.
Repetitive motions, awkward
positions and exposure to vibration
can be harmful to hands and arms.
Discontinue use of tool if discomfort,
tingling feeling or pain occurs.
Consult a physician before resuming
use if any of these symptoms occur.
Abrasive tools such as grinders,
sanders and cut-off tools generate
dust and abrasive materials, which
can be harmful to the lungs and
respiratory system. Paint spraying
tools generate paint vapors, which
can be harmful to the lungs and
respiratory system.
Always wear a properly fitting
facemask or respirator rated for the
application when using such tools.
Some materials such as adhesives
and tar give off vapors, which could
cause serious injury with prolonged
exposure.
Always work in a clean, dry,
well-ventilated area. Be aware of
chemicals in the work area and read
all Materials Safety Data Sheets
(MSDS) for the materials and/or
chemicals that may be present.
