gases, or dust. The tool is able to
create sparks resulting in the ignition
of the dust or fumes.

conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.
Personal safety
Stay alert. Watch what you are a.
doing and use common sense
when operating the tool. Do not
use the tool while tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the tool increases the
risk of injury to people.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose b.
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 people
as a result of being caught in moving
parts.
Avoid unintentional starting. Makec.
sure the Trigger (3) is off before
connecting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your nger on the
Trigger or connect the tool to the air
supply with the Trigger on.
Remove adjusting keys and d.
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.
Do not overreach. Keep proper e.
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
g. Always wear eye
protection. Wear ANSIapproved safety goggles.
h. Always wear hearing
protection when using
the tool. Prolonged
exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause hearing loss.
Explore the workpiece to avoid i.
contact with hidden wiring.
Thoroughly investigate the workpiece
for possible hidden wiring before
performing work. Contact with live
wiring will shock the operator.
Tool use and care
Use clamps or another practical a.
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.
Do not force the tool. b. 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.
Accessories must be rated for at c.
least the speed of the tool (22,000
RPM) marked on the tool label.
Router bits and other accessories
running over the rated speed can y
apart and result in a risk of injury to
people.
Never exceed the maximum air d.
pressure (90 PSI) for this tool.

Do not use the tool if the Trigger e.
does not turn the tool on or off.
Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the Trigger (3) is dangerous and
must be repaired. Do not use the tool
if the lock mechanism cannot lock the
Trigger in the “OFF” position.
Service
Tool service must be performed a.
only by qualied repair personnel.
When servicing a tool, use only b.
identical replacement parts. Use
only authorized parts.
Disconnect the tool from the air f.
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 let the Trigger (3) return to its
“OFF” position.
Store the tool when it is idle out of g.
reach of children and other untrained people. A tool is dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
Maintain the tool with care. h. 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.
Use only the lubricants supplied c.
with the tool or specied by the
manufacturer.
Air source
a. Never connect to an air
source that is capable of
exceeding 200 psi. Over
pressurizing the tool may
cause bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury
to people. 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.
Check for misalignment or bind-i.
ing of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
affects the tool’s operation. If dam-
aged, 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.
Use only accessories that are j.
identied by the manufacturer for
the specic tool model. Use of an
accessory not intended for use with
the specic tool model, increases the
risk of injury to people.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, b.
combustible gases or any bottled
gas as an air source for the tool.
Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to people.

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
