ABSTRACT:
A safety operating lever for hand tools or the like is disclosed. The lever is pivotally mounted at one end to the tool housing. Rotating of the lever about its pivot activates a valve causing the tool to operate. A safety lever lock is pivotally mounted to the safety lever at the end opposite the pivotal mounting to the tool housing. The safety lever lock is biased in a position which prevents the operating lever from rotating. To release the safety lever lock, it is necessary to physically rotate it about its pivot to a position approximately 90.degree. from the locking position. In the second position, the operating lever may be rotated to activate the tool. The unique mounting of the safety lever lock permits release of the lock and operation of the lever with one hand.
