tOOl USE AND cARE
1. Use the right tool for the job.
Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a
larger industrial tool. The tool will perform better and safer at the task for which it was intended. Do not
modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Maintain tools with care.
Keep tools clean, sharp and in good condition for a better and safer
performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings,
alignment and hoses periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician
or replaced. The handles must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly
maintained tool reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control. Sharp tools are safer than tools which
have become dull because you do not have to apply excessive amounts of force to make your cuts.
Applying excessive force can lead to slips and damage to your work or personal injury.
3. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches.
Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the
tool or machine before connecting it. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
increases the risk of personal injury.
4. Avoid unintentional starts.
Be sure that the throttle is in the OFF position when not in use and before
connecting it to any air source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
5. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer.
Other lubricants
may not be suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
6. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid
rust.
