SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI specifications and provides protection against flying particles both from the
FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by the operator and others in the work area when connecting to air supply,
loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard against flying fasteners and debris, which
could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye protection equipment must conform to the
requirements of the American National Standards Institute, ANSI Z87.1/CAN/CSA Z94.3 and provide both frontal and side
protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
Additional Safety Protection will be required in some environments. For example, the working area may include exposure
to noise level which can lead to hearing damage. The employer and user must ensure that any necessary hearing protection
is provided and used by the operator and others in the work area. Some environments will require the use of head
protection equipment. When required, the employer and user must ensure that head protection conforming to ANSI
CAN/CSA Z89.1 is used.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints
• crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products
• arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
