Risk Control When Using

Pneumatic Tools

         • Compressed air out of pneumatic 

equipment may be dangerous. Objects like brackets, burrs, 

splinters, dust and other residues may be impelled towards 

head and eyes due to high speed of the air flow.  The air 

flow itself can only injure soft tissue such as eyes, ears, etc.

       • The tool attachments may get lose or 

break and project particles towards the operator or other 

operators in the work area.

Risk of injury in head and eyes

• Always, when operating pneumatic equipment wear 

protection glasses in compliance with the AMSI Z887.1 

Standard.  As additional protection, wear a mask.

• Never aim the air flow towards people or animals.

• Disconnect the air hose from the tool when not in use.

• Never set a tool unattended when connected to the air 

outlet.

• Before using the tool verify all the parts and accessories 

are perfectly secured.

To prevent head and eyes injuries

         • Abrasive tools like grinders, sanders 

and cutting tools generate dust and particles that damage 

the lungs and respiratory system.

• Some materials like resin or adhesive are made with 

chemicals and the vapors emitted may cause serious 

damage if the operator is exposed for long periods of time.

Risk of inhaling particles

• Always wear a face mask or breathing device when 

operating these types of tools.

• Always work in a clean, well ventilated area.

To prevent inhaling particles

         • Pneumatic tools do not have electric 

insulation.  If during the operation, the tool makes contact 

with a source of electricity, the energy will be conducted to 

the operator causing a fatal electrocution.

Risk of electric shock

• Never use pneumatic tools to work energized electric 

wiring.

• Before operating the tool find the possible hidden wiring 

in the work zone to prevent making contact.

• Avoid contact with grounded surfaces like pipes, 

radiators o refrigerators. The risk of electrocution 

increases if the operator’s body gets grounded.

To prevent electric shock

         • Incorrect handling of pressure in 

pneumatic equipment may cause an explosion causing 

severe injuries.

Risk of explosion

• Before using the tool double check the compressed air 

source is regulated to the tool specified pressure and 

must not exceed 1 380 kPa (200 PSI).

To prevent explosions

         • Being exposed long periods of time to 

noise pneumatic tools produce may damage hearing 

permanently causing hearing loss.

Risk of hearing loss

• Always, when operating pneumatic equipment

wear hearing protection in compliance with the

ANSI S3.19 Standard

To prevent hearing loss

         • Pneumatic tools forced beyond the 

capacity and lacking of adequate lubrication or used to 

loosen rusted nuts (with impact guns) will get damaged 

and make the Warranty void.

Risk of damaging the tool

• Keep the tool duly lubricated.

• Do not force the tool.

• Apply “loose it all” liquid to rusted nuts or lugs before 

trying to loosen with the tool (impact gun).
