The connector on the tool must not hold
p r e s s u r e w h e n a i r s u p p l y i s
disconnected.
If an incorrect fitting is used,
the tool can remain charged with air after
disconnecting and thus will be able to drive
a fastener even after the air line is
disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or
bottled gases as a power source for this
tool.
An explosion may occur, causing
injury or death.
Do not use any type of reactive gases,
including, but not limited to, oxygen and
combustible gases, as a power source.
Use filtered, lubricated, and regulated
compressed air only.
Use of a reactive gas
instead of compressed air may cause the
tool to explode which will cause death or
serious personal injury.
U s e o n l y a p re s s u re - re g u l a t e d
compressed air source to limit the air
pressure supplied to the tool.
The
regulated pressure must not exceed 115
psi. If the regulator fails, the pressure
delivered to the tool must not exceed 115
psi. The tool could explode which will cause
death or serious personal injury.
