sources of heat and from sharp objects.
• Remember to remove service or adjustment keys after having making a repair and/or adjustment.
• Before disconnecting the compressed air hose from the tool, ensure it is not pressurized.

INTENDED USE
The tool is designed exclusively to be used with female threaded type inserts thread sizes #4-40 to 1/4” / M3 to M6.
UNINTENDED USE
The tool shall not be used:
• In explosive or aggressive atmosphere or when there is an excessive amount of dust or oil in the air.
• In atmosphere subject to the risk of fire.
• When it is exposed to weather conditions.
RESIDUE RISK
During the normal working cycle and when servicing the tool, the operators are exposed to some residue risks
which, due to the nature of the operations to be carried out, cannot be totally eliminated.
It is therefore absolutely crucial not to exceed the maximum pressure indicated in the technical data section on
page 6.
