dangerous and must be repaired.
b. Use safety equipment. Always
wear ANSI-approved safety impact
goggles and NIOSH-approved dust
mask/respirator. Safety equipment
such as non-skid safety shoes, hard
hat, or hearing protection used for
appropriate conditions will reduce
personal injuries.
c. Disconnect the air hose from the
pneumatic tool and release any
remaining air pressure before
making any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing pneumatic
tools. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting
the pneumatic tool accidentally.
c. Avoid accidental starting. Ensure
the Trigger (6A) is in the off-position
before connecting to an air supply.
Carrying pneumatic tools with your
finger on the Trigger or connecting
pneumatic tools that have the Trig-
ger on invites accidents.
d. Store idle pneumatic tools out of the
reach of children and do not allow
people unfamiliar with the pneumatic
tool or these instructions to operate
the pneumatic tool. Pneumatic
tools are dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
d. Remove any adjusting key or wrench
before turning the pneumatic tool on.
A wrench or a key left attached to a
rotating part of the pneumatic tool
may result in personal injury.
e. Maintain pneumatic tools. Check for
misalignment or binding of moving
parts, breakage of parts and any
other condition that may affect
the pneumatic tool’s operation. If
damaged, have the pneumatic
tool repaired before use. Many
accidents are caused by poorly
maintained pneumatic tools.
e. Do not overreach. Keep proper foot-
ing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the pneu-
matic tool in unexpected situations.
f. Use the pneumatic tool and its
accessories in accordance with
these instructions and in the
f. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from mov-
ing parts. Loose clothes, jewelry or
long hair can be caught in moving

manner intended for the particular
type of pneumatic tool, taking into
account the working conditions and
the work to be performed. Use of
the pneumatic tool for operations
different from those intended could
result in a hazardous situation.
4. Pneumatic tool use and care
a. Do not force the pneumatic tool.
Use the correct pneumatic tool
for your application. The correct
pneumatic tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it was
designed.
5. Service
a. Have your pneumatic tool serviced
by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts.
This will ensure that the safety of the
pneumatic tool is maintained.
b. Do not use the pneumatic tool if the
Trigger (6A) does not turn it on and
off. Any pneumatic tool that cannot
