SPECIFIC SAFETY RULES
AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
n �Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as tool will
explode, possibly causing injury or death.

tially exceed 200 P.S.I. as tool may burst, possibly

n The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect fitting
is used, the tool can remain charged with air after discon-

• When tool is not in use
• When moving to a different work area, as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.

the operating controls is activated.

discharge area of tool.
