Using the Tool (Continued)
•
Power tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful to
your hands and arms. Stop using any tool if discomfort,
tingling feeling or pain occurs. Seek medical advice before
resuming use.
•
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not overreach
when operating this tool. Anticipate and be alert for sud-
den changes in motion, reaction torques, or forces during
start up and operation.
•
Tool and/or accessories may briefly continue their motion
after throttle is released.
•
To avoid accidental starting - ensure tool is in “off” posi-
tion before applying air pressure, avoid throttle when car-
rying, and release throttle with loss of air.

Never operate a Percussion Tool unless an accessory is
properly installed and the tool is held firmly against the
