IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING:
When using tools, basic precautions should always be
followed, including the following.
GENERAL
To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to
persons, read all the instructions before using the tool.
WORK AREA
a) Keep the work area clean and well lighted. Cluttered
benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric
shock, fire, and injury to persons.
b) Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases,
or dust. The tool is able to create sparks resulting in the
ignition of the dust or fumes.
c) 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
a) 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 inattention while
operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
b) Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. 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.
c) 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.
d) 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.
e) Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance
at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
f) Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable
conditions.
g) Always wear eye protection.
h) Always wear hearing protection when using the tool.
Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause
hearing loss.
TOOL USE AND CARE
a) Use clamps or another practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to
lead to loss of control.
b) 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.
c) Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the
tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
d) 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 unintentionally.
e) 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.
f) Maintain the tool with care. Keep a cutting tool sharp
and clean. A properly maintained tool, with sharp cutting
edges reduces the risk of binding and is easier to control.
g) 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.
h) 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.
SERVICE
a) Tool service must be performed only by qualified
repair personnel.
b) When servicing a tool, use only identical
replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
c) Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool or
specified by the manufacturer.
AIR SOURCE
a) The Maximum Operating Pressure of this tool is 120
PSI. Never allow this tool to be connected to an air
source exceeding 120 PSI. Over pressurizing the tool is
able to result in bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of
the tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry,
regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within
the rated pressure range as marked on the tool. Always
verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been
adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-
pressure range.
b) Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the tool.
Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to
persons.
