2) PERSONAL SAFETY
• Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating a power tool. Do not use a
power tool while you are tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol or medication. A moment of
inattention while operating power tools may result in serious personal injury.
• Prevent unintentional starting. Ensure the trigger is in the off position before connecting to air source, pic-
king up or carrying the tool. Carrying power tools with your fi nger on the switch or energizing power tools
that have the switch on invites accidents.
• Exposure to high noise levels can cause permanent, disabling hearing loss and other problems, such as
tinnitus (ringing, buzzing, whistling, or humming in the ears). Therefore, a risk assessment and the imple-
mentation of appropriate controls for these hazards are essential. Appropriate controls to reduce the risk
may include actions such as damping materials to prevent workpieces from ringing.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing and gloves away from moving
parts. Loose clothes, rubber-coated or metal reinforced gloves, gloves with cut or frayed fi ngers, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
• Keep hands and other body parts, loose clothing and long hair away from the moving end of tool.
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion during start up and operation of any power tool.

hands and arms. Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking account of the required hand reaction
forces. Stop using any tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Seek medical advice before resu-
ming use.
• This tool is not insulated against electric shock, contact with a live wire will make exposed metal parts live.
• Due to dust generated while using tool, a risk assessment and the imple mentation of appropriate controls
for these hazards are essential.
• Accessories and tools can get hot during operation. Wear gloves when handling them. Ensure the tool is off
when changing accessories.

• Wear warm clothing whenever working in cold conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.
• Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fi ttings.
• Avoid prolonged contact with dust from power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, chipping and other
construction activities. Wear protective clothing and wash exposed areas with soap and water. Allowing
dust to get into your mouth, eyes, or lay on the skin may promote absorption of harmful chemicals.
