starting the tool unintentionally. Turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any
residual air pressure, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before
leaving the work area.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
AIR SOURCE
1. Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 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.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders. To
reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by
a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being
caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood
circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as explained in this manual.
If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.
