General safety instructions for air tools
Protect hoses from kinks, constrictions, solvents
and sharp edges. Keep hoses away from heat,
oil and rotating parts.
Ensure that the hose clamps are always firmly
secured. Hose clamps that have been insuffi-
ciently tightened or damaged could allow air
to escape in an uncontrolled manner.
Replace damaged hoses immediately. A dam-
aged supply line may result in the air hose flap-
ping about and may result in injuries.
If the mains power cable of the device is dam-
aged, it has to be replaced by the manufacturer
or its service department or a similarly qualified
person in order to avoid hazards.
Do not use the device when tired or under the
influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
One moment of carelessness when using the
device may result in serious injuries.
Do not directly inhale the exhaust air. Keep
eyes away from exhaust air. Exhaust air from
the compressed air device may contain water,
oil, metal particles or contamination from inside
the compressor. This may result in injury to health.
BE CAREFUL WHEN YOU
PUT DOWN THE DEVICE! Always put down
the device so it does not come into contact with
the trigger. This could potentially result in acci-
dental activation of the device, which again
could result in hazards.
Only use suitable accessories. These may be
purchased from the manufacturer. Using non-
OEM accessories may result in hazards.
Only use filtered and regulated compressed
air. Dust, caustic vapours and/or moisture may
damage the motor of an air tool.
The hose must be designed for pres-
sures of at least 8.6 bar or 125 PSI,
but at least 150 % of the maximum
pressure generated in the system.
The tool and supply line must be
equipped with a hose coupling to
completely remove pressure when
disconnecting the coupling hose.
DANGER! Avoid contact with live lines. This
device is not insulated against electric shock.
DANGER OF INJURY!
High working pressures can give rise to recoil

forces that under certain conditions can result
in danger from continuous loading.
If you are inexperienced in the use of this type
of device, you should seek out information or
training to learn how to handle it safely.
DANGER OF STAB
WOUNDS! Do not treat an injection as a sim-
ple cut. A high pressure jet may inject toxins into
the body and cause serious injuries. If the spray
is injected into the skin, seek medical help im-
mediately.
Do not modify this device in any way without
the manufacturer's approval.
Only use the device with the specified pressure
(2–9 bar).
Disconnect the tool from the air supply after
each use and when not in use.
Discontinue use if the tool leaks or is in need of
repair.
Never connect the tool to an air hose with
pressure exceeding 9 bar.
Keep your working area clean and well lit.
Untidy or poorly lit working areas can lead to
accidents. Doing so will allow you better con-
trol of the device, particularly under unforeseen
circumstances.
Only have the device repaired
by qualified specialist personnel using OEM
spare parts. This will ensure that your device
remains safe to use.
Keep children and other individuals away from
the device during use. Distractions can cause
you to lose control of the device.
Wear suitable clothing. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing
and gloves clear of moving parts. Loose cloth-
ing, jewellery or long hair can become trapped
in moving parts.
Put down trigger and device in the event of un-
expected compressor failure.
If possible, use a condensate trap or drain the
hoses and pipes of condensate (water) regu-
larly before and during the use compressed air
devices (water).
ATTENTION! An undersized com-
pressed air system may minimise the
efficiency of your device.
