GENERAL SAFETY RULES
To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and
injury to persons, read all the instructions be-
fore using the tool.
WARNING: Read and understand all in-
structions. Failure to follow all indications list-
ed below, may result in electric shock, fire and/
or serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the
risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to per-
sons.
Do not operate the tool in explosive atmo-
spheres, such as in the presence of flammable
liquids, gases, or dust. The tool is able to cre-
ate sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust
or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating the tool. Distractions are able
to result in the loss of control of the tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the tool. Do
not use the tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A mo-
ment of inattention while operating the tool
increases the risk of injury to persons.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing,
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose
clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk
of injury to persons as a result of being caught
in moving parts.
Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the
switch is off before connecting to the air sup-
ply. Do not carry the tool with your finger on
the switch or connect the tool to the air supply
with the switch on.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that
is left attached to a rotating part of the tool
increases the risk of personal injury.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for
the applicable conditions.
Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI-ap-
proved safety goggles.
Always wear hearing protection when using
the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity
noise is able to cause hearing loss.
Risk of Electric Shock. This tool is not provided
with an insulated gripping surface. Contact
with a “live” wire will also make exposed metal
parts of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if
your body is grounded.
Explore the work piece to avoid contact with
hidden wiring. Thoroughly investigate the
work piece for possible hidden wiring before
performing work. Contact with live wiring will
shock the operator.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or another practical way to se-
cure and support the work piece to a stable
platform. Holding the work by hand or against
the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss
of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool
for the application. The correct tool will do the
job better and safer at the rate for which the
tool is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the switch does not
turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot
be controlled with the switch is dangerous and
must be repaired.
4. Disconnect the tool from the air source be-
fore making any adjustments, changing ac-
cessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of starting the
tool unintentionally. Turn off and detach the
air supply, safely discharge any residual air
pressure, and release the trigger before leav-
ing the work area.
5. 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.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts, and any other
condition that affects the tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the tool serviced before using.
