GENERAL
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.

g) Always wear eye protection.
h) Always wear hearing protection when using the tool.

Prolonged 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 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.

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.

f) Maintain the tool with care.
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.

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) The Maximum Operating Pressure of this tool is 110 
PSI. Never allow this tool to be connected to an air 
source exceeding 110 PSI.

 Over pressurizing the tool is 

able to result in 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.

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.
