Which statement about pneumatic chipping tools is TRUE?
AI Explanation
The correct answer is D) The equipment shall be secured to the hose by a quick-disconnect coupling to prevent the tool from becoming accidentally disconnected.
This is correct because quick-disconnect couplings are required on pneumatic chipping tools to ensure the tool does not become inadvertently separated from the air supply hose during operation. This safety feature helps prevent the tool from becoming a projectile and causing injury.
The other answer choices are incorrect because: A) non-sparking material is not specifically required, B) grounding is not a universal requirement, and C) the blunting tolerance for the needle-type chipping gun needles is not specified in the regulations.
