IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
and perform its intended function . Check for alignment and binding of mov-
ing 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 . Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified electrician using original
PERFORMANCE TOOLS® 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 . Approved accessories are
available from Performance Tool® . Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your model . Accessories that may be suit-
able for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool .
15 . Do not 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 .
16 . For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified
technician .
WARNING: Cancer and Reproductive Harm .
WARNING: The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this
instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur . It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator . Read and understand all of the instructions provided in the instruction
manual of this product, as well as, any other tool(s) used with this product .
1. Install an air regulator with pressure gauge and an in-line shutoff valve in your air
line as near to your tool as possible for best service .
IMPORTANT: An in-line shutoff valve is an important safety device because it con-
trols the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a
ball valve because it can be closed quickly .
2 . Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet . Connect the air hose to the air
inlet of the tool . Other components, such as a coupler plug and quick coupler,
will make operation more efficient, but are not required.
IMPORTANT: Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool . Such a coupler
contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected .
IMPORTANT: The air hose must have the correct inner diameter for efficient air flow.
Usually an air hose of 3/8" inner diameter is recommended .
