Keep Work Area Well Ventilated
!
WARNING
Certain test and adjustment procedures require the
engine to be running. Be sure work area is well
ventilated; never run the engine in an enclosed area.
Use Proper Eye and Face
Protection
!
WARNING
Always wear eye protection while in a shop environment.
• Safety Glasses: Safety glasses offer a minimum level
of protection from flying debris.
• Face Shields: Face shields are often used along with
safety glasses to offer a higher level of protection
when sparks and flying debris are present.
• Vented Goggles: Goggles offer side protection not
offered by safety glasses alone.
• Unvented Goggles: Unvented goggles offer
protection from chemical splashes and vapors.
Use Lifting Equipment Safely
!
WARNING
• Always use a lifting device with a lifting capacity
greater than the weight of the item being lifted.
• Secure the load to the lifting device using cables,
chains, or slings rated to handle the load being lifted.
Fasteners being used to connect lifting devices must
be strong enough to handle the load. Also be sure
the mounting point of load is strong enough to handle
the load.
• When using a lifting device, always connect the load
so it is balanced.
• Always use a lifting device on a hard, level surface.
• Lower the lifting device to the lowest point before
moving. Move the load slowly.
• Always support the load as soon as possible; never
leave a load suspended in mid-air.
Use Compressed Air and Air
Tools Safely
!
WARNING
• Compressed air is a useful tool when used in a safe
manner.
• Always use eye and ear protection while using
compressed air and air tools.
• When using air tools, do not exceed the air pressure
rating for the tool.
• When using an impact wrench, always use approved
impact sockets. Never use standard sockets on an
impact wrench.
• Disconnect the air supply before changing air tool
attachments.
• Never point air nozzles or air tools at another person.
• Always maintain air tools properly.
Never operate the engine without proper
ventilation; exhaust fumes can be fatal if inhaled.
Always use approved personal protection
equipment. Avoid workplace hazards by wearing
properly maintained, approved eye and face
protection. Failure to use appropriate protection
equipment may result in death or serious injury.
Always check the lifting capacity and condition of
hoists, slings, cables, or chains before use.
Using underrated or worn lifting components can
result in death or serious injury.
Always wear approved eye and ear protection
while using compressed air. Misuse of
compressed air could result in death or serious
injury.
• When using air nozzles, air pressure should
not exceed 30 psi (206.8 kPa).
• Never direct air nozzles or tools at a person.
• Never point air nozzles directly at skin.
