Q
List four safety precautions when dealing with pneumatic tools?
A
(1) Inspect the air hose for cracks or other defects. If you identify defects, make repairs, or replace the hose before using.
(2) Before connecting the air hose to the air outlet fitting, open the control valve momentarily. Then connect the hose to the fitting and open the valve again momentarily—this ensures the hose is clear of water and other foreign material.
(3) Stop the flow of air to a pneumatic tool by closing the control valve at the compressed air outlet before connecting, disconnecting, adjusting, replacing, or repairing a pneumatic tool.
