Tool Tips - Care and Safety with Air Power Tools

Never carry an air tool by the hose
Disconnect tools when not in use, before servicing, and when changing accessories such as blades, bits and cutters
Do not attempt to service machine unless qualified to do so
Secure the workpiece with clamps or a vice, allowing both hands to be free to operate the tool.
Do not clamp the machine body in a vice
Power tools should be regularly maintained. Always follow the user's instruction manual for lubrication and changing of accessories
Do not wear loose clothing, ties or jewelry when using power tools
Always wear eye and face protection, protective clothing and safety shoes
Proper, effective hearing protection should be worn when working with noisy tools such as power hammers and breaking tools
Do not use a machine without guards where supplied
Do not use a power tool for work beyond its prescribed capability
Check that speed of abrasive wheel is compatible with the machine speed
Oil air tools on a regular basis. Ideally at the end of each working day
Ensure the air system delivers 90psi min. air pressure with the tool running. A lower pressure will reduce performance
Only black impact sockets & accessories should be used with air operated impact wrenches or ratchets. Any other sockets could shatter or break.
Bits should always be placed against the work surface before an air hammer is operated.
Never point an air tool at yourself or another person.
