Also read the compressor manual and follow all compressor safety instructions.
RISK OF INJURY. Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered benches and dark
areas increase the risks of injury to persons.
RISK OF INJURY. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the
tool. Distractions may cause a loss of control of the tool.
RISK OF EXPLOSION AND/OR FIRE. Do not operate the tool in explosive atmos-
pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The tool is able to
create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.
RISK OF INJURY. 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.
RISK OF INJURY. 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
increase the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.
RISK OF INJURY. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
RISK OF HEARING LOSS. Always wear ANSI S3.19 approved ear protection when
using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause hearing loss.
RISK OF EYE INJURY. Always wear ANSI Z87.1 approved safety goggles when using
an air tool and make sure everyone in the work area is wearing the same type of safe-
ty goggles. Air powered equipment and power tools are capable of propelling materials such
as metal fragments, fasteners, and other debris at high speed which could result in serious
eye injury.
RISK OF INJURY. Avoid prolonged exposure to vibration. Air powered tools can vibrate
during use and repetitive motion or vibration may cause injury. Avoid prolonged use of the
tool or stop using the tool if discomfort occurs.
RISK OF INJURY. Avoid unintentional fastener discharge. Hold the tool by the handle
and make sure that the trigger and contact safety trip mechanism are not pressed when con-
necting or disconnecting the tool from the air supply. Do not carry the tool by the hose or
yank the hose to disconnect it from the air supply.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK. Explore the workpiece to avoid contact with hidden
wiring. Thoroughly investigate the workpiece for possible hidden wiring before performing
work. Contact with a "live" wire will also make exposed metal parts of the tool "live" and
shock the operator.
RISK OF INJURY. Keep hands and body AWAY from trigger and contact safety tip
when not driving fasteners. The tool could accidentall fire a fastener, causing serious per-
sonal injury or property damage, if the trigger is held on and the contact safety trip mecha-
nism is bumped.
