cover reasonable situations that may be encountered
when operating, servicing or repairing air tools. It is
the responsibility of operators and servicing
technicians to be knowledgeable about the
procedures, tools and materials used, and to satisfy

will not compromise their safety, that of others in the
work place or the tool.
Power Tool Safety Messages
Snap-on power tools may contain chemicals known
to the State of California to cause cancer, birth
defects, or other reproductive harm.
Improper use of power tools and accessories can
cause broken tools.
• Read and understand instructions before
operating power tools.
• Be sure these instructions accompany the tool
when passed from one user to a new or
inexperienced user.
• Tools shall be inspected periodically to verify that
the ratings and markings are legible.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace all damaged labels.
Broken tools can cause injury.
Power tools can cause flying particles during use.
• Wear safety goggles, user and bystanders. The
grade of protection required should be assessed
for each use.
Flying particles can cause injury.
Power tools generate noise.
• Wear hearing protection, user and bystanders.
• 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 implementation of appropriate
controls for these hazards are essential.

• Appropriate controls to reduce the risk may
include actions such as damping materials to
prevent work pieces from "ringing".
• Operate and maintain the drill or tapper as
recommended in the instructions handbook, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in the noise level.
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted
tool as recommended in the instructions handbook, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in noise.
• Do not remove silencer pads.
Prolonged exposure to noise can cause hearing loss.
Power tools vibrate.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to vibration, repetitive
motions and uncomfortable positions. Stop using
the tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain
occurs. Seek medical advice before resuming use.
• Wear warm clothing when working in cold
conditions and keep your hands warm and dry.
• Operate and maintain the drill or tapper as
recommended in the instructions handbook, to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
• Do not allow the inserted tool to chatter on the
work piece, as this is likely to cause a substantial
increase in vibration.
• Select, maintain and replace the consumable/inserted
tool as recommended in the instructions handbook to
prevent an unnecessary increase in vibration levels.
• Support the weight of the tool in a stand,
tensioner or balancer, if possible.
• Hold the tool with a light but safe grip, taking
account of the required hand-reaction forces,
because the risk from vibration is generally
greater when the grip force is higher.
Prolonged exposure to vibration, repetitive motions
and uncomfortable positions can cause injury.
Risk of contamination from hazardous dust.
• Wear an approved dust mask or respirator when
using power tools that create dust.
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
• Risk assessment should include the dust created
by the use of the tool and the potential for
disturbing existing dust.
• Operate and maintain the drill or tapper as
recommended in these instructions, to minimize
dust and fume emissions.
• Direct the exhaust so as to minimize disturbance
of dust in a dust-filled environment.
• Where dust or fumes are created, the priority
shall be to control them at the point of emission.
