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.
8. Always wear hearing protection when using the tool.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause hearing loss.

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.
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.
Service
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.
1. Never connect to an air source that is
capable of exceeding 200 psi.
Over pressurizing the tool may cause
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCESETUP
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.

3. Only use with accessories rated to handle the
forces exerted by this tool during operation.
Other accessories not designed for the forces
generated may break and forcefully launch pieces.
4. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before
connecting the air supply. A loose accessory
may detach or break during operation.
Vibration Precautions
5. Obey the manual for the air compressor
used to power this tool.
6. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow
immediate control over the air supply in an
emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
7. Use this tool with both hands only. Using tools
with only one hand can result in loss of control.
8. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to
a complete stop. Moving parts can grab the
surface and pull the tool out of your control.
9. Do not hold sockets during use.
10. Do not use a handle extension to
increase torque on the tool.
SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCESETUP
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.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping
safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain
tool as explained in this manual.
If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.
