TOOL USE AND CARE
Use the correct tool for the work. The proper tool will do the work faster and safer.
• Do not use the tool if the On/Off switch is not working. Operating a tool that cannot be controlled by you is
dangerous and must be repaired before use.
• Always disconnect the power cord from the electrical outlet before storing the tool, making adjustments or
adding/replacing accessories. This simple prevention will reduce the risk of accidental starting the tool.
• Store the tool in a secure place out of reach of children. A secure storage location will prevent the
unauthorized use by untrained users.
• Properly maintain tools. Keep all cutting tools sharp and clean. Remove contaminants from the tool and
keep clean. Check for broken parts or binding of moving parts before use. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before use. Prevent accidents caused by poorly maintained tools.
• Use only accessories recommended for your model. Accessories suitable for one tool may become
hazardous when used on another tool.
AIR SOURCE
1. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect tools from air pressure source when not in use, before cleaning, servicing
or changing a piece or accessory. After disconnecting, discharge any residual air pressure.
2. Use proper size and type of air pressure line and fittings. The recommended air line for a tool with a 1/4" inlet
is 3/8" I.D.
3. Always verify prior to using a tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the
rated air-pressure range. Over pressurizing a tool may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the
tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated range as marked
on the tool.
4. Never use pure oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for a tool.
Such gases are capable of causing an explosion and serious injury to persons. Do not use an air source
besides an air compressor to power this tool.
5. Always use an air regulator and a moisture trap in your compressed air system. These accessories will
increase the tool’s life and keeps the tool in good working condition.
6. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
7. Avoid using an unnecessarily long air hose. Avoid using too long of an air hose. The longer the hose, the
lower the pressure will be at the end of the hose, to the point that it may not meet the minimum required for
the tool. As well, a longer hose can become a tripping hazard.
8. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections
are secure.
9. Always carry a tool by its handle; never carry the tool by the air hose.
10. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The hose
diameter should be 3/8" I.D.
11. Air tool CFM consumption ratings are based upon a 25% duty cycle. If you require continuous duty, a larger
compressor will be required (eg. 4.0 CFM tool at continuous duty requires 16.0 CFM to function at
maximum torque).
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the parts and accessories from the box.
2. Make sure that all items listed in the parts lists are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure the compressor was not damaged while shipping.
4. Do not discard the packaging material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the tool.
WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the tool until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
