dangerous and must be repaired.  
b. Use safety equipment. Always  
wear ANSI-approved safety impact  
goggles and NIOSH-approved dust  
mask/respirator. Safety equipment  
such as non-skid safety shoes, hard  
hat, or hearing protection used for  
appropriate conditions will reduce  
personal injuries.  
c. Disconnect the air hose from the  
pneumatic tool and release any  
remaining air pressure before  
making any adjustments, changing  
accessories, or storing pneumatic  
tools. Such preventive safety  
measures reduce the risk of starting  
the pneumatic tool accidentally.  
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure  
the Trigger (6A) is in the off-position  
before connecting to an air supply.  
Carrying pneumatic tools with your  
finger on the Trigger or connecting  
pneumatic tools that have the Trig-  
ger on invites accidents.  
d. Store idle pneumatic tools out of the  
reach of children and do not allow  
people unfamiliar with the pneumatic  
tool or these instructions to operate  
the pneumatic tool. Pneumatic  
tools are dangerous in the hands of  
untrained users.  
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench  
before turning the pneumatic tool on.  
A wrench or a key left attached to a  
rotating part of the pneumatic tool  
may result in personal injury.  
e. Maintain pneumatic tools. Check for  
misalignment or binding of moving  
parts, breakage of parts and any  
other condition that may affect  
the pneumatic tool’s operation. If  
damaged, have the pneumatic  
tool repaired before use. Many  
accidents are caused by poorly  
maintained pneumatic tools.  
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-  
ing and balance at all times. This  
enables better control of the pneu-  
matic tool in unexpected situations.  
f. Use the pneumatic tool and its  
accessories in accordance with  
these instructions and in the

clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,  
clothing and gloves away from mov-  
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or  
long hair can be caught in moving

manner intended for the particular  
type of pneumatic tool, taking into  
account the working conditions and  
the work to be performed. Use of  
the pneumatic tool for operations  
different from those intended could  
result in a hazardous situation.  
4. Pneumatic tool use and care  
a. Do not force the pneumatic tool.  
Use the correct pneumatic tool  
for your application. The correct  
pneumatic tool will do the job better  
and safer at the rate for which it was  
designed.  
5. Service  
a. Have your pneumatic tool serviced  
by a qualified repair person using  
only identical replacement parts.  
This will ensure that the safety of the  
pneumatic tool is maintained.  
b. Do not use the pneumatic tool if the  
Trigger (6A) does not turn it on and  
off. Any pneumatic tool that cannot

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 or worsened from  
use. Pregnant women or people

2. Use compressed air only. Use clean,  
dry, regulated, compressed air at 110  
PSI. Do not exceed 110 PSI.

hands and fingers, increasing the risk  
of vibration-related injury.  
6. This product is not a toy. Keep it out  
of reach of children.  
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the  
vibration effects on the user.  
7. The warnings, precautions, and in-  
structions discussed in this instruction  
manual cannot cover all possible con-  
ditions and situations that may occur.  
It must be understood by the operator  
that common sense and caution are  
factors which cannot be built into this  
product, but must be supplied by the  
operator.
