SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
RISK OF INJURY
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Fasteners could ricochet or be propelled
causing serious injury or property damage.
Never point or discharge tool at self or oth-
ers. Do not pull trigger unless tool contact
safety device is against work surface.
Never attempt to drive fasteners into hard
surfaces such as steel, concrete, or tile.
Avoid driving a fastener on top of another
fastener. Position tool carefully so that
fasteners will be delivered to the proper
location.
Improperly maintained tools and accesso-
ries can cause serious injury.
Maintain the tool with care.
Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean. A
properly maintained tool, with sharp cutting
edges, reduces the risk of binding and is
easier to control.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is dam-
aged.
Check for misalignment or binding of mov-
ing parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that affects the tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced and
repaired before use.
Use only accessories identified by SGS
Engineering as suitable for use with specific
tools.
Use of an accessory not intended for a
specific tool increases the risk of injury to
persons.
WARNING
RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Tools which contain moving elements, or
drive other moving parts, such as grinding
wheels, sockets, sanding discs, etc. can be-
come entangled in hair, clothing, jewellery
and other loose objects resulting in severe
injury.
Never wear loose fitting clothes or apparel
that contains loose straps or ties which
could become entangled in moving parts of
the tools. Remove any jewellery, watches,
identifications, bracelets or necklaces which
might become caught by the tool.
Keep hands away from moving parts. Tie
up or cover long hair. Always wear proper
fitting clothing and other safety equipment
when using the tool.
SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make sure that the air compressor being used for the air tool operation sup-
plies the correct output (CFM).
2. Have the tool in the “off” position when connecting the tool to the air supply.
3. Use normal 90 PSI (or ranging from 6.0 to 8.0kg) air pressure while running the
tool. High pressure and unclean air will shorten the tool’s life due to faster wear
and may also create a hazardous situation.
4. Drain water from air compressor tank daily as well as any condensation in the air
lines. Water in the air line may enter the tool and damage the tool mechanisms
at operation.
5. Clean the air inlet filter cartridge weekly. The recommended hook-up procedure
can be viewed in the diagram below.
6. Line pressure should be increased accordingly to make up for extra long air
hoses (usually over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D.
and the fittings should have the same inside dimensions. But usually a 3/8”
I.D. air hose is recommended for air supply to get the best function of air tool
operation.
7. Use proper hoses and fittings. We do not suggest connecting quick change
couplings directly to the tool since they may cause failure due to vibration.
Instead, add a leader hose and connect coupling between air supply and hose
whip.
8. Check hoses for wear before individual use. Make certain that all connections
are securely fastened.
