let them handle machines, tools, hoses or extension cords.
5. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to
inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children and other
untrained persons. Switch off all unused electrical tools when stored. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Always wear approved eye protection when using tools. If raising dust, wear a
suitable mask.
7. Work Safe. When wearing gloves to operate the tool, make sure that the gloves
do not interfere with operating the Trigger. Test your gloves with the Trigger
before attaching the unit to an air source. Keep your finger av/ay from the
Trigger until you are ready to work. Never start the tool unless you have a firm
grip with both hands and you are positioned at your work piece or area. Before
using the tool, know what is directly underneath the work area or work piece.
The tool can quickly penetrate material. If working directly on the ground, make
sure you are not directly above shallow cables, lines, or pipes. Keep your limbs
and body clear of the tool. If an accessory or attachment breaks off, the tool
tends lo surge forward suddenly. Operate tool a safe distance from yourself and
others in the work area. Make sure the immediate area is clear of other people
or animals. Spectators must stay at a safe distance. Never point the tool or the
air hose (not included) at anyone. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Do not reach over or across running machines, hoses, etc.
8. Do nol operate any tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning
labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired
while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate any tool.
9. Be sure air is in OFF position when connecting tool to air supply.
10. Use only those accessories that are designed tor use with tools. For example,
with impact wrenches do not use ordinary sockets. Use impact sockets for all
air tools.
11. Be sure to disconnect tool from air supply before changing accessories,
performing service on tool and when not in use.
12. Follow air source manufacturers' directions for connection of regulators, filters,
and other accessories to air source. Do not install quick couplers directly on
tool as they put unnecessary strain on the air inlet threads possibly causing
them to wear out prematurely, instead, install them on a short length of air
hose attached to the tool.
13. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving
parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may
affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired
or replaced by a qualified technician.
14. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by
a qualified technician using original NEILSEN® replacement parts.
Failure to do so can lead to accidents for the operator. Use of any other parts
will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool.
