2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep your hair,
clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be
caught in moving parts.
3. Avoid accidental starting.
Be sure the trigger is off before connecting to the air supply.
Carrying pneumatic tools with your finger on the trigger, or connecting pneumatic tools to
the air supply with the Trigger on, invites accidents.
4. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before turning on the tool. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety glasses underneath a full face
shield, and hearing protection.
PNEUMATIC TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the workpiece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand is unstable and may lead to loss of control. Only work
on a workpiece that is properly secured.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn it on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled
with the trigger is dangerous and must be replaced.
4. Disconnect the air hose from the tool before making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool accidentally.
5. Store idle tools out of reach of children and other untrained persons. Tools are dangerous
in the hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain tools with care. Do not use a damaged tool. Tag damaged tools “Do not use” until
repaired.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakages of parts, damaged air hose
(not included), and any other condition that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged,
have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
tools.
8. Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for your model.
Accessories that may be suitable for one tool may become hazardous when used on
another tool.
Service
1. Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel. Service or maintenance
performed by unqualified personnel could result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Follow instructions in the
Inspection, Maintenance and Cleaning
section of this manual. Use of unauthorized parts
or failure to follow maintenance instructions may create a risk of injury.
Additional Safety Warnings
1. Use clean, dry, regulated, compressed air at 90 PSI. Do not exceed the recommended 90
PSI. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas as a
power source for this tool.
