Air Tool Cautions
1.  DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the 
maximum rating of the compressor. Select 
air tools, air hoses, pipes, valves, lters and 
other ttings accordingly. DO NOT exceed 
manufacturer’s rated safe operating pressures 
for these items.
2.  Make sure all hose connections are 
adequately secured to prevent tools or hose 
ends from being accidentally disconnected.
3.  Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before 
turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is 
left attached to a moving part of the tool may 
result in personal injury.
4.   Keep work area clean and well lit. 
Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents.
5.   Keep children away. 
All children should be kept away from the work 
area. Never let a child handle a tool without 
strict adult supervision.
6.   Store idle tools out of the reach of children and 
untrained persons. 
Tools may be dangerous in the hands of 
untrained users.
7.  Do not operate any tool if under the inuence 
of alcohol or drugs. 
Read warning labels on prescriptions to 
determine if your judgment or reexes are 
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any 
doubt, do not attempt to operate.
8.    Do not force tool. 
Use the correct tool for your application. The 
correct tool will do the job better and safer at 
the rate for which it was designed.
9.   Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn 
it on and o.  
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the 
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
10.  Check for damage. 
Check your tool regularly. If part of the tool 
is damaged it should be carefully inspected 
to make sure that it can perform its’ intended 
function correctly. If in doubt, the part should 
be repaired. Refer all servicing to a qualied 
technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
11.  Maintain tools with care. 
Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly 
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are 
less likely to bind and are easier to control.
