When using the tool, always adopt a firm
footing and/or position and grip the tool firmly
to counteract any forces or reaction forces that
may be generated while using the tool.
10) Use only correct spare parts. Do not improvise
or make temporary repairs.
11) Do not lock, tape, wire, etc. the on/off trigger in
the run position. The trigger must always be
free to return to the "off" position when it
is released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool and
depress the trigger to release air from the feed
hose before fitting, adjusting or removing the
working attachment.
13) Check hoses and fittings regularly for wear.
Replace if necessary. Do not carry the tool by
its hose. Ensure the hand is removed from the
on/off trigger when carrying the tool with the
air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving tool
parts with clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags,
etc. This will cause the body to be drawn
towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) It is expected that users will adopt safe
working practices and observe all relevant
legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
16) Only install the tool when an easily accessible
and easily operable on/off switch is
incorporated in the air supply.
17) Take care that the tool exhaust air does not
cause problems or blow onto another person.
18) Never lay a tool down unless the working
attachment has stopped moving.
19) Do not start the tool until the bit is securely
clamped in the chuck jaws.
20) Do not start the tool until the bit is in contact
with the surface being drilled.
21) Use drill bits appropriate for the material
being drilled.
Figure A
22) Do not force the drill. If drilling is difficult,
professional re-sharpening or replacement of
the bit may be necessary.
23) Worn/blunt bits should not be used as this
condition contributes to increased vibration
and tool breakage. A bit that breaks can cause
injury by creating unexpected movement.
Pneumatic Tools
1)
Inspect the air hose for cracks or other
problems. Replace the hose if worn.
2)
Never point an air hose at another person.
3)
Disconnect the tool when not in use, or before
performing service or changing accessories.
4)
Use proper hoses and fittings. Never use
quick-change couplings attached at the tool.
Instead, add a hose and coupling between the
tool and the air supply.
The recommended hook-up is shown in figure A.
Pneumatic tools operate on a wide range of air
pressures. For maximum efficiency and longer tool
life, the pressure of the air supplied to these tools
should not exceed the rated PSI at the tool when
the tool is running. Using a higher than rated
pressure will cause faster wear and drastically
shorten the tool's life. A higher air pressure can
also cause an unsafe condition.
The inside diameter of the hose should be
increased to compensate for unusually long air
hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter
should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the
same inside dimensions.
The use of air line lubricators and air line filters is
recommended to prevent water in the line that can
damage the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the
air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule
to remove accumulated dirt or other matter that
can restrict air flow. The tool's air inlet used for
connecting an air supply has standard 1/4" NPT
American thread.
