Read and understand all instructions. Failure to follow all
instructions listed below may result in electric shock, fi re, and/or
serious personal injury.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WORK AREA
Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches
and dark areas invite accidents. The fl oor must not be slippery
from wax or dust.
Do not operate power tools in explosive atmo-spheres,
such as in the presence of fl ammable liquids, gases, or
dust. Power tools create sparks which may ignite the dust or
fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while
operating tools. Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Operate the air compressor in an open area at least 18 in.
away from any wall or object that could restrict the fl ow of
fresh air to ventilation openings.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as pipes,
radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an increased risk
of electric shock if your body is grounded.
Don't expose power tools to rain or wet conditions. Water
entering a power tool will increase the risk of electric shock.
Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the
tool or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep the cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges, or moving parts. Replace
damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the
risk of electric shock.
When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor
extension cord marked "W-A" or "W". These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock.
PERSONAL SAFETY
Eye protection which conforms to ANSI specifi cations
and provides protection against fl ying particles both
from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS be worn by
the operator and others in the work area when loading,
operating, or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required
to guard against fl ying fasteners and debris, which could
cause severe eye injury.

DANGER
WARNING

GENERAL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation, which, if not avoided,
may result in minor or moderate injury.
(Without Safety Alert Symbol) Indicates a situation that may
result in property damage.
WARNING
The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical
known to the state of California to cause birth defects (or other
reproductive harm).
(California health & safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye
protection is worn. We recommend a Wide Vision Safety
Mask for use over eyeglasses or standard safety glasses
that provide protection against fl ying particles both from the
front and side. Always use eye protection which is marked to
comply with ANSI Z87.1.
Additional safety protection will be required in some
environments. For example, the working area may include
exposure to a noise level which can lead to hearing damage.
The employer and user must ensure that any necessary
hearing protection is provided and used by the operator and
others in the work area. Some environments will require
the use of head protection equipment. When required, the
employer and user must ensure that head protection marked
to comply with ANSI Z89.1 is used.
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common
sense when operating a power tool. Do not use tools
while tired or under the infl uence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention while operating power
tools may result in serious personal injury.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry.
Contain long hair. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
can be caught in moving parts.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all
times. Proper footing and balance enables better control of
the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protection. A dust
mask, nonskid safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection
must be used for appropriate conditions.
Do not use on a ladder or unstable support. Stable
footing on a solid surface enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
TOOL USE AND CARE
Do not exceed the pressure rating of any component in
the system.
Protect material lines and air lines from damage or
puncture. Keep the hose and power cord away from sharp
objects, chemical spills, oil, solvents, and wet fl oors.
