a. Keep the work area clean and well

lighted. Cluttered benches and dark

areas increase the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons.

b. Do not operate the tool in explo-

sive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ammable liquids,

gases, or dust. The tool is able to
create sparks resulting in the ignition
of the dust or fumes.

c. Keep bystanders, children, and

visitors away while operating the

conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.

Personal safety

a. Stay alert. Watch what you are do-

ing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the inu­ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica­tion. A moment of inattention while

operating the tool increases the risk

of injury to persons.

b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose

clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons

as a result of being caught in moving
parts.

c. Avoid unintentional starting. Be

sure the switch is off before con­necting to the air supply. Do not

carry the tool with your nger on the

switch or connect the tool to the air
supply with the switch on.

d. Remove adjusting keys and

wrenches before turning the tool
on. A wrench or a key that is left at-

tached to a rotating part of the tool

increases the risk of personal injury.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpect­ed situations.

is able to cause hearing loss.

i. Risk of Electric Shock. This tool

is not provided with an insulated
gripping surface. Contact with a

″live″ wire will also make exposed
metal parts of the tool ″live″ and

shock the operator.

j. Avoid body contact with grounded

surfaces such as pipes, radiators,
ranges and refrigerators. There is

an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.

k. Explore the workpiece to avoid

contact with hidden wiring. Thor­oughly investigate the workpiece for
possible hidden wiring before per­forming work. Contact with live wiring
will shock the operator.

Always wear eye protec­tion. Wear ANSI-ap-

proved safety goggles.

Always wear hearing
protection when using
the tool. Prolonged expo-

sure to high intensity noise

Tool use and care

a. Use clamps or another practical

way to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform.

Holding the work by hand or against
the body is unstable and is able to
lead to loss of control.

f.

Use safety equipment. A
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must
be used for the applicable

b. Do not force the tool. Use the

correct tool for the application. The

correct tool will do the job better and

safer at the rate for which the tool is
designed.

Page 4SKU 97007 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

c. Do not use the tool if the switch

does not turn the tool on or off.

Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.

d. Disconnect the tool from the air

source before making any adjust­ments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool unintentionally. Turn
off and detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure,
and release the Safety Paddle Switch
and/or turn the switch to its off posi­tion before leaving the work area.

e. Store the tool when it is idle out of

reach of children and other un­trained persons. A tool is dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

f. Maintain the tool with care. Keep a

cutting tool sharp and clean. A prop­erly maintained tool, with sharp cut­ting edges reduces the risk of binding
and is easier to control.

g. Check for misalignment or bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
affects the tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the tool serviced before
using. Many accidents are caused
by poorly maintained tools. There is a
risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

Service

a. Tool service must be performed

only by qualied repair personnel.

b. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use
only authorized parts.

c. Use only the lubricants supplied

with the tool or specied by the

manufacturer.

Air source

a. Never connect to an air

source that is capable of
exceeding 200 psi. Over

pressurizing the tool is
able to result in bursting, abnormal
operation, breakage of the tool or

serious injury to persons. Use only

clean, dry, regulated compressed air
at the rated pressure or within the
rated pressure range as marked on
the tool. Always verify prior to using
the tool that the air source has been

adjusted to the rated air pressure or

within the rated air-pressure range.

b. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,

combustible gases or any bottled
gas as an air source for the tool.

Such gases are capable of explosion

and serious injury to persons.

SAVE THESE

h. Use only accessories that are

identied by the manufacturer for
the specic tool model. Use of an

accessory not intended for use with

the specic tool model, increases the
risk of injury to persons.
