Power Tools
Storage
Power tools should be stored in their original cases if available. Tools should be kept away from moisture and chemicals that could damage motors and plastic parts.
Tools should not be stacked on shelves where employees may have trouble lifting and sorting the tools.
Air Tools
Air tools should be inspected prior to each use and each month. Air tools must be kept oiled and in a dry place to prevent rust. Insure that there is a good supply of whip checks for each air hose connection.
Each tool should be clearly labeled with the manufactures information. In addition, the components attached to the air tool should be properly labeled and compatible with the tool.
Impact wrenches should be equipped with the proper impact type sockets.
To prevent possible disintegration of grinding disks and stones, ensure that they are rated for the very high RPM developed by air tools.
