WARNING
Work area can contain hazards.
• Keep work area clean and well lit.
• Stay alert and use common sense when
operating tool. Do not operate when fatigued.
• Before using the tool, make sure that a shutoff
device has been fitted on the supply line and the
location is well-known and easily accessible so
that the air supply to the tool can be shut off in
an emergency.
• Never lay a tool down until the attachment has
stopped moving.
• Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
• Do not allow bystanders to contact tool.

from the workpiece onto the user or bystanders.
• When operating in heights, be aware of things
below and around you.
• When tool is not in use, shut off the air supply
and press trigger or lever to relieve air pressure.
If tool is not to be used for a period of time,
lubricate it, disconnect it from the air supply line
and store it in a dry place with moderate

and locked area that can not be accessed by
children.
Work area hazards can cause injury.
Risk of whipping compressed air hoses.
• Attach air lines securely.
• Check the air hose and fittings regularly for wear.

Untrained users can create hazards.
• Secure work with a clamp or a vise whenever
possible.
• Use the right tool. Do not use a tool that is too
light or too heavy for the work.
• Do not force tool.
• Operate air tools at 90 psig (6.2 bar, 620 kPa)
maximum air pressure.
