IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the tool.

Work Area

1. Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
   Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.

2. 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

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Do not overreach.
   Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
   Proper footing and balance enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

4. Use safety equipment.
   A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.

5. Always wear eye protection.
   Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

Tool Use and Care

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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

1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
3. Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer.

Air Source

1. Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 250 psi. Over pressurizing the tool may cause 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.
2. 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.

Safety Symbol Definitions

Wear ANSI-approved eye protection.
| WARNING marking concerning Risk of Respiratory Injury.
Wear NIOSH-approved dust mask/respirator.
****| WARNING marking concerning Risk of Explosion.

Specific 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. Obey the manual for the air tool and air compressor used with this tool.
3. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
