Tool Use and care

1.

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the

application. The correct tool will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.

2.

Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the

tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and must be repaired.

3.

Disconnect the tool from the air source

before making any adjustments, changing

accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of starting the

tool unintentionally. Turn off and detach the air

supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure,

and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to

its off position before leaving the work area.

4. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach

of children and other untrained persons.

A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

5.

Maintain the tool with care. Keep a cutting

tool sharp and clean. A properly maintained

tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the

risk of binding and is easier to control.

6.

check for misalignment or binding of moving

parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition

that affects the tool's operation. If damaged,

have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents

are caused by poorly maintained tools.

There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

7.

Use only accessories that are identified by the

manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of

an accessory not intended for use with the specific

tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.

Service

1. Tool service must be performed only

by qualified repair personnel.

2.

When servicing a tool, use only identical

replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.

Air Source

1.

Never connect to an air source that is

capable of exceeding 200 psi.

Over pressurizing the tool may cause

bursting, abnormal operation, breakage

of the tool or serious injury to persons.

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the

rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as

marked on the tool. Always verify prior to using the

tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated

air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.

2. Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible

gases or any bottled gas as an air source

for the tool. Such gases are capable of

explosion and serious injury to persons.
