WEAR HEARING PROTECTION
Wear hearing protection to protect your hearing from noise.
Prolonged exposure to loud noise can result in hearing loss.
NEVER OPERATE THE TOOL WITH OXYGEN OR OTHER
BOTTLED GASES
Oxygen and other reactive or high-pressure bottled gases
can cause the tool to explode. Use clean, dry regulated
compressed air from a properly operating air compressor.

Using a regulated air supply with a line or tank pressure
greater than 180 psi can cause the tool to burst if the air line
regulator fails suddenly.
USE AN AIR HOSE RATED FOR 180 PSI/12.4 Bar OR
GREATER
Always use air hose rated to handle 180 psi or the maximum
potential pressure of the air supply.
