Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the presence 
of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may ignite the 
flammable liquids, gases, or dust. 

 

Do not allow the coupler to come into contact with an electrical source. It is not insulated and 
contact will cause electrical shock. 

 

Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the coupler. Do not allow 
children to handle the product.  

 

WARNING

 

PERSONAL SAFETY 

 

Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the coupler. Do not 
use it while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of 
inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury. 

 

Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing 
and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair can be caught in moving 
parts. Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided. 

 

Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant safety 
goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask in 
dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hardhat, gloves, dust collection systems, 
and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.  

 

Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.

  

 

CAUTION

 

COUPLER USE AND CARE 

 

Do not force the coupler. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner for 
which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job. 

 

Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly 
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the 
product with a damaged part. 

 

Store the product when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. 
Inspect the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use. 

 

Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product. 
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with 
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than 
the tool itself.
