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:

DANGER indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING indicates a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION, used with the safety alert symbol,
indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.

NOTICE is used to address practices
not related to personal injury.

CAUTION, without the safety alert symbol, is used
to address practices not related to personal injury.

Work Area

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 explosive 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 tool. Distractions are able
to result in the loss of control of the tool.

Personal Safety

a. 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

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 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. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

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

e. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work gloves during use.

f. Always wear eye protection.

Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

g. Always wear hearing protection when

using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high
intensity noise is able to cause hearing loss.

Tool Use and Care

SAVE THESE

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. 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.

d. 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.

e. Maintain the tool with care.

A properly maintained tool reduces the risk
of binding and is easier to control.

f. 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.

Initial Tool Set Up/Assembly

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT

SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual including
all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.

Note: For additional information regarding the

parts listed in the following pages, refer to the
Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.

18. This product is not a toy.
Keep it out of reach of children.

19. When lifting only one wheel, make sure to

support load immediately with one jack stand

(not included) placed under side of vehicle being

lifted. Align saddle of jack stand directly under

vehicle’s seam or recommended lifting point.

20. When lifting entire front end or rear end of
