•
Always wear ear protection when using the tool. Long-term exposure to noise can damage your
hearing.
Safety when using and maintaining the tool
•
Secure and support the workpiece with the help of clamps or similar devices mounted to a solid
surface. If the workpiece is held in your hand or against your body, you may lose control of it.
•
Do not exceed the maximum material thickness of 1.29
mm (
1
⁄
16
″) when working on sheet metal.
•
Do not use the tool with excessive force. Always use the tool suited for the job at hand. A suitable
tool used at a speed it is intended for will make work safer and more efficient.
•
Do not use the tool if it cannot be turned on and off using the switch. A tool that cannot be
operated with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired before any further use.
•
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before making adjustments, replacing accessories, or
storing it. This safety precaution reduces the risk of the tool unintentionally starting up. Turn off
and disconnect the air supply, carefully releasing any remaining compressed air and releasing
the trigger and/or flipping the switch to the off position before leaving the work area.
•
Store the tool when it is not in use and keep it inaccessible to children and other inexperienced
individuals. A tool used by inexperienced individuals is dangerous.
•
Carefully maintain the tool. Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. A properly maintained tool with
sharp cutting surfaces is less prone to get stuck and therefore easier to control.
•
Check for any moving parts that are misaligned, jammed, damaged, worn or in any other con-
dition that might affect the proper use of the tool. A damaged tool must be serviced before further
use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. A damaged tool can break.
•
Only use accessories approved by the manufacturer for the respective tool model. Non-ap-
proved accessories increase the risk of accidents when being used.
Safety during maintenance
•
Maintenance work may only be carried out by qualified personnel.
•
When servicing a tool, only approved spare parts of at least equal quality may be used.
•
Only use lubricants supplied or specified by the manufacturer.
Air supply safety
•
Never connect the tool to an air supply that can generate air pressure exceeding 13.79
bar
(200
psi). Excessive pressure on the tool can cause it to break and cause abnormal behaviour
and serious injury. Only use clean, dry, and regulated compressed air, the pressure of which
corresponds to the information on the device. Always verify that the compressed air source is
set to the correct air pressure or pressure range before using the tool.
•
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, flammable gas, or bottled gas as a source of compressed
air for this tool. Such gases can cause explosions and serious personal injury.
Keep these instructions.
