VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused by or worsened from
tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical
symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip the tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur, stop using this
tool immediately.
8. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it unattended until it has come
to a complete stop. A part that is moving could make the tool jump or grab a surface and pull the tool out of
your control.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended. Do not
modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss of control.
3. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and in good condition for a better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings, alignment and hoses periodically
and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician or replaced. The handles must be kept
clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly maintained tool reduces the risk of binding
and is easier to control. Sharp tools are safer than tools which have become dull because you do not have to
apply excessive amounts of force to make your cuts. Applying excessive force can lead to slips and damage
to your work or personal injury.
4. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or
machine before connecting it. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the
risk of personal injury.
5. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the switch is in neutral or OFF position when not in use and before
connecting it to any power source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
6. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants may not be
suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
7. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
8. Maintain the label and name plate on the tool. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Princess Auto for a replacement.
