Protective, non-electrically conductive gloves 

and non-skid footwear are recommended when 

working. Wear protective hair covering to contain 

long hair and keep it from harm.

Use eye protection. 

Use a full-face mask

if the 

work you’re doing produces metal filings, dust 

or wood chips.

Goggles are acceptable in other 

situations. Wear a clean dust mask if the work 

involves creating a lot of fine or coarse dust.

Don’t overreach. 

Keep proper footing and 

balance at all times. Do not reach over or across 

machines that are running.

Stay alert.  

Watch what you are doing & use 

common sense. Don’t operate any tool when you 

are tired.

Compressed air cautions: 

compressed air from 

this unit may contain carbon monoxide. The air 

produced is neither suitable for breathing nor 

food processing without filtering and testing to all 

applicable legal standards.

Tool Use and Care

Maintain tools with care.  

Keep tools sharp and 

clean for better and safer performance.  Follow 

instructions for lubricating and safe performance.  

Follow instructions for lubricating and changing 

accessories.  Keep handles dry, clean and free 

from oil and grease.

Avoid unintentional starting.

  Be sure the 

switch is in the 

off 

position before plugging in.

Always check and make sure to remove any 

adjusting keys or wrenches 

before turning the 

tool on.  Left attached, these parts can fly off a 

rotating part and result in personal injury.

Do not use the tool if it cannot be switched on 

or off.

  Have your tool repaired before using it.

Disconnnect the plug from power before 

making any adjustments.

  Changing attachments 

or accessories can be dangerous if the tool could 

accidentally start.

Store idle equipment.  

Store

equipment in a dry 

area to inhibit rust.  Equipment also should be in 

a high location or locked up to keep out of reach 

of children.

Don’t force the tool.  

It

will do the job better and 

more safely at the rate for which it was intended.

Use the right tool.  

Don’t force a small tool or 

attachment to do the work of a larger industrial 

tool.  Don’t use a tool for a purpose for which it 

was not intended.

Secure work. 

Use clamps or a vise to hold the 

work. It’s safer than using your hands and it frees 

both hands to operate the tool.

Check for damaged parts.

  Before using this 

tool, any part that is damaged should be carefully 

checked to determine that it will operate properly 

and perform its intended function. Check for 

alignment of moving parts, binding of moving 

parts, breakage of parts, mountings, and other 

conditions that may affect its operation. Inspect 

screws and tighten any ones that are loose. Any 

part that is damaged should be properly repaired 

or replaced by an authorized service center unless 

otherwise indicated elsewhere in the instruction 

manual. Have defective switches replaced by an 

authorized service center. Don’t use the tool if 

switch does not turn it on and off properly.

Never use this equipment 

if it is leaking air; has 

missing or damaged parts, guards, or shields; or 

requires repair. Make sure all screws and caps are 

securely tightened.

Do not use the air hose 

to move the compressor. 

Release the pressure in the storage tank before 

moving.

Maintain tools with care. 

Keep tools clean for 

better and safer performance. Follow instructions 

for lubricating and changing accessories. Keep 

dry, clean and free from oil and grease.

Do not attempt any maintenance or adjustment 

with the compressor in operation, the power 

connected, or air under pressure in the system.
