operated pneumatic tools.
For safety, top performance, and maximum
•
durability of parts, operate this tool at 90 psig
(6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at the
inlet.
Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the
•
air supply hose before installing, removing or
adjusting any accessory on this tool, or before
performing any maintenance on this tool.
Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air
•

typical piping arrangement.
Always wear eye protection when operating or
•
performing maintenance on this tool.
Always wear hearing protection when operating
•
this tool.
Keep hands, loose clothing, long hair and jewelry
•
away from working end of tool.
Note the position of the reversing lever before
•
operating the tool so as to be aware of the direction
of rotation when operating the throttle.
Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not
•
overreach when operating this tool. Anticipate and
be alert for sudden changes in motion, reaction
torques, or forces during start- -up and operation.
Tool shaft may continue to rotate briefly after
•
throttle is released.
Air powered tools can vibrate in use. Vibration,
•
repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions may
be harmful to your hands and arms. Stop using any
tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ENCLOSED.
READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING TOOL.
PLACING TOOL IN SERVICE
Always use clean, dry air at 90 psig 6.2 bar/620 kPa
•
maximum air pressure. Dust, corrosive fumes
and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an
air tool.
Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile
•
liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged
•
label.
The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler
•
connected directly to the air inlet increases tool bulk
and decreases tool maneuverability.
For maximum performance, the coupler on the wall
•
should be the next size larger than the coupler used
on the tool. The coupler closest to the tool should
not be less than the proper air supply hose size.
USING THE TOOL
This tool is not designed for working in explosive
•
atmospheres.
This tool is not insulated against electric shock.
•
Do not carry or drag the tool by the hose.
•
Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust
•
and particles created by power tool use:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- - lead from lead based paints,
- - crystalline silica from bricks and cement
and other masonry products, and
- - arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk from these exposures varies,
depending on how often you do this type of
work. To reduce your exposure to these
chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and
work with approved safety equipment, such as
those dust masks that are specially designed to
filter out microscopic particles.
