PERSONAL HAZARD WARNINGS
During cleaning and flushing, solvents can be forcefully expelled from fluid and air passages. Some
solvents can cause eye injury. Be sure user and bystanders in the area are wearing impact resistant
eye and face protection. Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
Air under pressure can cause severe injury. Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before changing accessories or when making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else. Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for
damaged or loose hoses and fittings. Never use quick-change couplings at tool. They add weight and
could fail due to vibration. Instead, add a hose whip and connect coupling between air supply and hose
whip, between hose whip and leader hose whip, or between hose whip and leader hose.
DO NOT EXCEED
MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE OF 70 PSI.
Always use tool a safe distance from other people in work area.
Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and oiled for best and safest performance. Follow instructions
for lubricating and changing accessories. Wiping or cleaning rags and other flammable waste materials
must be placed in a tightly closed metal container and disposed of later in the proper fashion.
Do not wear loose or ill-fitting clothing. Remove watches and rings. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing
and balance at all times. Slipping, tripping and falling can be a major cause of serious injury or death. Be
aware of excess hose left on the walking or work surface. Do not abuse hoses or connectors. Never carry
tool by the hose or yank it to disconnect from power supply. Keep hoses from heat, oil and sharp edges.
Check hoses for weak or worn condition before each use, making certain that all connections are secure.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Protect yourself from noise. Noise levels vary with
work surface. Wear ear protectors. When possible secure work with clamps or vise so both hands are
free to operate tool.
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure vibration can be harmful to hands and
arms. Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from work processes, which can be harmful to your health.
