GENERAL SAFETY RULES
To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and in-
jury to persons, read all the instructions before
using the tool.
WARNING: read and understand all instruc-
tions. Failure to follow all indications listed be-
low, may result in electric shock, fire and/or seri-
ous personal injury. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
WORK AREA SAFETY
Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Clut-
tered benches and dark areas increase the risks of
electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating the tool. Distractions are able to
result in the loss of control of the tool.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use
common sense when operating the tool. Do not
use the tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating the tool increases the risk
of injury to persons.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jew-
elry. Contain long hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes,
jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury
to persons as a result of being caught in moving
parts.
Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch
is off before connecting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your finger on the switch or
connect the tool to the air supply with the switch
on.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left
attached to a rotating part of the tool increases
the risk of personal injury.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables better con-
trol of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the
applicable conditions.
Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI-ap-
proved safety goggles.
Always wear hearing protection when using the
tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is
able to cause hearing loss.
Risk of Electric Shock. This tool is not provided
with an insulated gripping surface. Contact with
a “live” wire will also make exposed metal parts
of the tool “live” and shock the operator.
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces.
There is an increased risk of electric shock if your
body is grounded.
Explore the work piece to avoid contact with
hidden wiring. Thoroughly investigate the work
piece for possible hidden wiring before perform-
ing work. Contact with live wiring will shock the
operator.
To reduce the risks associated with loud noises:
• Immediately stop using the product if the muf-
fler for noise reduction has been damaged or if
it does not work properly. Have the product re-
paired before putting it back into use.
To reduce the risks associated with vibration
emissions during use:
• If you experience any physical discomfort in
your hands / wrists, stop working quickly and seek
medical attention. Injuries to hands, wrists and
arms can be caused by repetitive movements and
work and by overexposure to vibration.
• Do not operate the tool on or near explosive
materials, such as flammable liquids, gases or ex-
cessive dust in the air. The tool / abrasives can cre-
ate sparks when working with certain materials,
which can cause the ignition of volatile gases or
dust.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use clamps or another practical way to secure
and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work by hand or against the body is
unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
2. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for
the application. The correct tool will do the job
better and safer at the rate for which the tool is
designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be con-
trolled with the switch is dangerous and must be
repaired.
4. Disconnect the tool from the air source before
making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool unintention-
ally. Turn off and detach the air supply, safely dis-
charge any residual air pressure, and release the
trigger before leaving the work area.
5. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of
children and other untrained persons. A tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
6. Check for misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition
that affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, have
the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools. There is a risk
of bursting if the tool is damaged.
7. Use only accessories that are identified by the
manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of
an accessory not intended for use with the specific
tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
