IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids. Do not bring combustible
materials near the tools.
3. As with any tool, use common sense when operating. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry that could become caught by moving parts, causing injury. Operate tool a safe
distance from yourself and others in the work area.
4. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle machines, tools, hoses or extension cords.
5. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit
rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Switch off all unused electrical tools when stored. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
6. Always wear approved eye protection when using tools. If raising dust, wear a suitable
mask.
7. Work Safe. When wearing gloves to operate the tool, make sure that the gloves do not
interfere with operating the Trigger. Test your gloves with the Trigger before attaching
the unit to an air source. Keep your finger away from the Trigger until you are ready to
work. Never start the tool unless you have a firm grip with both hands and you are
positioned at your workpiece or area. Before using the tool, know what is directly
underneath the work area or work piece. The tool can quickly penetrate material. If
working directly on the ground, make sure you are not directly above shallow cables,
lines, or pipes. Keep your limbs and body clear of the tool. If an accessory or
attachment breaks off, the tool tends to surge forward suddenly. Operate tool a safe
distance from yourself and others in the work area. Make sure the immediate area is
clear of other people or animals. Spectators must stay at a safe distance. Never point
the tool or the air hose (not included) at anyone. Keep proper footing and balance at
all times. Do not reach over or across running machines, hoses, etc.
8. Do not operate any tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels
on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking
drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate any tool.
9. Be sure air is in OFF position when connecting tool to air supply.
10. Use only those accessories that are designed for use with tools. For example, with
impact wrenches do not use ordinary sockets. Use impact sockets for all air tools.
11. Be sure to disconnect tool from air supply before changing accessories, performing
service on tool and when not in use.
12. Follow air source manufacturers' directions for connection of regulators, filters, and
other accessories to air source. Do not install quick couplers directly on tool as they
put unnecessary strain on the air inlet threads possibly causing them to wear out
prematurely. Instead, install them on a short length of air hose attached to the tool.
