the rated air pressure, or set within the rated airpressure range.

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 switch does not turn

the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the switch 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 switch 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.

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.

Specic 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 lter out microscopic particles.

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

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.

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

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 rst 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

ngers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.

2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces

the blood supply to the hands and ngers, 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.
