Hearing Protection is
Recommended
H
earing protection should be used when the
noise level exposure equals or exceeds an
8 hour time-weighted average sound level
of 85 dBA. Process noise, reflective
surfaces, other tools being operated
nearby, all add to the noise level present in
your work area. If you are unable to
determine your noise level exposure, we
recommend the use of hearing protection.
Avoid Prolonged Exposure to
Vibration
PnuematicTools can vibrate during use.
Prolonged exposure to vibration or very
repetitive hand and arm movements, can
cause injury. Stop using any tool if
discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs.
You should consult your physician before
resuming use of the tool.
90 PSIG Maximum
This tool is designed to operate at an air
pressure of 90 pounds per square inch
gauge pressure (90 PSIG) maximum, at the
tool. Use of higher air pressure can, and
may cause injury. Also, the use of higher
air pressure places the internal components
under loads and stresses they were not
designed for, causing premature

WARNING:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling, and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth
defects or reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
•
Lead from lead-based paints
•
Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other masonry products
•
Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-
ventilated area and work with approved safety
equipment such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
