Pneumatic Tools – Basic Safety
Posted in Airbrush Kit on February 25th, 2011 by admin – 34 CommentsReview the manufacturer’s instruction before using a tool.
Wear safety glasses or a face shield and, where necessary, safety shoes or boots and hearing protection.
Post warning signs where pneumatic tools are used. Set up screens or shields in areas where nearby workers may be exposed to flying fragments, chips, dust, and excessive noise.
Ensure that the compressed air supplied to the tool is clean and dry. Dust, moisture, and corrosive fumes can damage a tool. An in-line regulator filter and lubricator increases tool life.
Keep tools clean and lubricated, and maintain them according to the manufacturers’ instructions.
Use only the attachments that the manufacturer recommends for the tools you are using.
Be careful to prevent hands, feet, or body from injury in case the machine slips or the tool breaks.
Reduce physical fatigue by supporting heavy tools with a counter-balance wherever possible.
