Safety Recommendations

For your safety and the safety of others, read and un-

derstand the safety recommendations and operating in-

structions before operating this tool.

ALWAYS WEAR PROTECTIVE EQUIP-

MENT

EYE AND FACE PROTECTION

For additional information on eye and face protection,

refer to Federal OSHA Regulations, 29 Code of Federal

Regulations, Section 1910.133 , Eye and Face Protection,

and American National Standards Institute, ANSI A87.1,

Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection.

Z87.1 is available from the American National Standards

Institute, Inc., 1430 Broadway, New York, NY 10018.

HEARING PROTECTION

Hearing protectors are required in high noise areas, 85

dBa or greater. The operation of other tools and equipment

in the area, reflective surfaces, process noises and reso-

nant structures, can substantially contribute to and in-

crease the noise level in the area. For additional informa-

tion on hearing protection, refer to Federal OSHA Regula-

tions, 29 Code of Federal Regulations Section 1910.95,

Occupational Noise Exposure, and American National

Standard Institute, ANSI S12.6 Hearing Protectors.

Follow good machine shop practices. Rotating shafts and

moving components can entangle and enwrap, and can

result in serious injuries. Never wear long hair, loose fitting

clothes, gloves, ties or jewelry when working with or near

any power tool with an exposed rotating shaft or spindle.

When using right angle Airetrols with lever type throttles,

be sure the throttle is positioned relative to the angle head

so that the throttle will not become wedged against an

adjacent object in the "ON" position due to the torque reac-

tion. The angle head may be repositioned with the respect

to the lever to accommodate proper location for the task. If

tool is to be reversed, locate the throttle lever in a neutral

position that will prevent entrapment. Refer to operating

instructions for additional information.

Tools with clutches can stall rather than shut-off if ad-

justed over the maximum power output of the tool, or if

there is a drop in air pressure. Operator must then resist

the stall torque until the throttle is released.

Higher torque Airetrols, inline and right angle, are sup-

plied with a torque reaction bar designed to work with the

torque of the tool it is specified for. These bars can be

braced against the work or other suitable points to absorb

and relieve the operator of the torque reaction transmitted

by the tool. Tool balance arms are also available to absorb

the torque reaction of the tool while balancing the weight of

the tool for improved ergonomic applications.

Some individuals are susceptible to disorders of the hands

and arms when exposed to tasks which involve highly
