Air hoses can come loose from power tools and whip.
• Inspect and do not use tools with loose or
damaged air hoses or fittings.
Whipping air hoses can cause injury.
Air hoses that are not oil resistant or are not rated for
the working pressure can burst.
• Make sure that all air hoses are oil resistant and
rated for the working pressure.
• When universal twist couplings are used, lock
pins shall be installed and whipcheck safety
cables shall be used to safeguard against
hose-to-tool or hose-to-hose connection failure.
Air hoses that burst can cause injury.
Tools not operated at proper air pressure can operate
erratically.
• Do not exceed a maximum air pressure of 90
psig/6.2 bar or as stated on the tool's nameplate
or operating instructions. Use an air regulator to
maintain proper air pressure.
• Air pressure should be checked at the point
where air enters the tool while the tool is
running.
• Speed should be checked while the tool is
running maximum free speed at maximum air
pressure (90 psig/6.2 bar).
• Check operating pressure and freespeed after
any maintenance, repairs, or potentially
damaging events to verify safe operating
conditions.
Erratic operation in power tools can cause injury.
Improperly repaired tools perform unpredictably.
