Keep work area clean. Messy areas and cluttered workbenches invite personal injury
and/or property damage.

tool to do the job of a heavy-duty tool. Using the right tool to do the right job will make
doing the job safer.

Check damaged parts before use of any air tools or attachments. A guard or other part
that is damaged should be carefully checked to ensure that it will operate properly and
perform its intended function. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, mounting, or any other conditions that may affect tool operation. A
guard or other part that is damaged should be properly replaced. See replacement parts
list for additional details.
