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 liable 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
liable 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 throttle is off before connecting to
the air supply. Do not carry the tool with

your finger on the throttle or connect the
tool to the air supply with the throttle on.

Tool Use and Care

4. Do not overreach.

Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

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

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

6. Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

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

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

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 liable 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 throttle does
not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that
cannot be controlled with the throttle 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 before leaving the work area.

Service

5. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach
of children and other untrained per sons.

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.

1. Never connect to an air source that
is capable of exceeding 200 psi.

Over pressurizing the tool may cause

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.

bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury

Specific Safety Instructions

1. The warnings and precautions discussed in this
manual cannot cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must be understood
by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the operator.

2. WARNING: Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contains chemicals
known [to the State of California] to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:

• Lead from lead-based paints

• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or

other masonry products

• Arsenic and chromium from

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.
(California Health & Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)

3. WARNING: The brass components of
this product contain lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause
birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
(California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)

4. 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.

5. Attach all accessories properly to the tool before
connecting the air supply. A loose accessory
may detach or break during operation.

6. Obey the manual for the air compressor
used to power this tool.

7. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow
immediate control over the air supply in an
emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.

8. Use this tool with both hands only. Using tools
with only one hand can result in loss of control.

9. 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.

SAFETYOPERATIONMAINTENANCE SETUP

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.

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.
