GENERAL SAFETY RULES
WARNING!
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL INSTRUCTIONS
Failure to follow all instructions listed in the following
pages may result in electric shock, fire, and/or serious injury.
1.Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas
invite accidents.
2.Do not operate pneumatic tools in explosive atmospheres, such as in thepresence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. Pneumatic tools create sparks
which may ignite flammables.
3.Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating a pneumatictool. Distractions can cause you to lose control. Protect others in the work area
from debris such as chips and sparks. Provide barriers or shields as needed.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1.Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating a pneumatic tool. Do not use a pneumatic tool while tired or under
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating pneumatic tools may result in serious personal injury.
2.Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
3.Avoid accidental starting. Be sure the Trigger (24) is off before connect-ing to the air supply. Carrying pneumatic tools with your finger on the Trigger,
or connecting pneumatic tools to the air supply with the Throttle Lever on,
invites accidents.
4.Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A wrench
or a key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal
injury.
5.Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper
footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

TOOL USE AND CARE
1.Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to

tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3.Do not use the power tool if the Trigger does not turn it on or off. Any tool
that cannot be controlled with the Throttle Lever is dangerous and must be replaced.
4.Disconnect the air hose from the tool before making any adjustments,changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
5.Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools
are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6.Maintain tools with care. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do
not use” until repaired.
7.Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts,
cracking or breakage of the Blades (32, 34, 35), and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
8.Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous
when used on another tool.

or maintenance performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
