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.
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.
SAFETYOP ERATIONMAINTENANCESETUP
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.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces
the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.

refer to Operation section for description of controls.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between
the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator
so that the air output is enough to properly
power the tool, but the output will not exceed
the tool's maximum air pressure at any time.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
8. If the tool will not be used at this time, 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 to prevent accidental operation.
Note: Residual air pressure should not be present
after the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting
to ensure that the tool is disconnected and not powered.
