Maintain the tool with care. Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean. A properly maintained
tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control.

the tool may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the tool, or serious injury.
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.
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.
