better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and
changing accessories. Inspect tool fitting sand hoses periodically and, if
damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician. The handles
must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times.

wrenches are removed from the tool or machine work surface before

when you are tired.
14. 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. Do not use the tool if the trigger switch does not function
properly.

such as your air compressor. Prevent body contact with grounded
