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

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.

a. To reduce the risks of electric

shock, fire, and injury to persons,
read all the instructions before
using the tool.

Work area

a. Keep the work area clean and well

lighted. Cluttered benches and dark

areas increase the risks of electric
shock, fire, and injury to persons.

b. 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.

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 influence 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 the 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 finger
on the switch or connect the tool to
the air supply with the switch on.

d. 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.

e. Do not overreach. Keep proper

footing and balance at all times.

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

f. 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.

g. Always wear eye

protection. Wear ANSI-

approved safety goggles.

exposure to high intensity noise is
able to cause hearing loss.

Tool use and care

a. 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.

b. 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.

c. Do not use the tool if the Trigger

switch does not turn the tool on or
off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the Trigger is dangerous and
must be repaired.

d. 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 Trigger to its
off position before leaving the work
area.

e. 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.

h. Always wear hearing

protection when using

the tool. Prolonged

f. Maintain the tool with care.

A properly maintained tool is easier to
control.

g. 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.

b. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,

combustible gases or any bottled
gas as an air source for the tool.

Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to persons.

SAVE THESE

INSTRUCTIONS.

h. 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

a. Tool service must be performed

only by qualified repair personnel.

b. When servicing a tool, use only

identical replacement parts. Use
only authorized parts.

c. Use only the lubricants supplied

with the tool or specified by the
manufacturer.

Air source

a. Never connect to an air

source that is capable of

exceeding 115 PSI. Over

pressurizing the tool may
cause bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury
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.
