IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
General
To reduce the risks of electric shock,
fire, and injury to persons, read all the
instructions before using the tool.
Work Area
1. Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the
risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
2. Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. The tool is able to create sparks
resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.

3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating the tool. Distractions are able
to result in the loss of control of the tool.
Personal Safety
1. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and
use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the
tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
2. 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.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch
is off before connecting to the air supply.
Do not carry the tool with your finger on the switch or
connect the tool to the air supply with the switch on.
4. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches
before turning the tool on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool increases the risk of 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.
6. Use safety equipment.
A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and
a hard hat must be used for the
applicable conditions.
7. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

metalpartsofthetool″live″andshocktheoperator.
10. 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.
11. 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.
Tool Use and Care
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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 throttle and/or turn the switch to
its off position before leaving the work area.
Service
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that affects the tool's operation. If damaged,
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.
8. Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of
an accessory not intended for use with the specific
tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
1. Tool service must be performed only
by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
3. Use only the lubricants supplied with the
tool or specified by the manufacturer.

24. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding,
sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities, contains chemicals known [to the State
SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or
other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
•Leadfromlead-basedpaints
•Crystallinesilicafrombricksandcementor
other masonry products
•Arsenicandchromiumfrom
chemically treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of work.
To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work
in a well ventilated area, and work with approved
safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Vibration Precautions
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term
exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and
shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an
extended period should first be examined by a
doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to
ensure medical problems are not being caused or
worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who
have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past
hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool.
If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such
as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as possible.
