IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION ENCLOSED.

READ THIS MANUAL BEFORE OPERATING TOOL.

IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE EMPLOYER TO PLACE THE INFORMATION

IN THIS MANUAL INTO THE HANDS OF THE OPERATOR.

FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.

PLACING TOOL IN SERVICE

•Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance with American National Standards Institute Safety Code for Portable Air Tools (ANSI B186.1).

•For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate this tool at 90 psig

(6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at the inlet with 3/10” (10 mm) inside diameter air supply hose.

•Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air supply hose before installing, removing or adjusting any accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool.

•Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and fittings.

•Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and are tightly secured. See Dwg. TPD905–1 for a typical piping arrangement.

•Always use clean, dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar/

620 kPa) maximum air pressure. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air tool.

•Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.

•Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.

USING THE TOOL

•Always wear eye protection when operating or performing maintenance on this tool.

•Always wear hearing protection when operating this tool.

•Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from rotating end of tool.

•Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion during start up and operation of any power tool.

•Keep body stance balanced and firm. Do not overreach when operating this tool. High reaction torques can occur at or below the recommended air pressure.

•Tool accessories may continue to rotate briefly after throttle is released.

•Air powered tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive motions or uncomfortable positions may be harmful to your hands and arms. Stop using any tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain oc- curs. Seek medical advice before resuming use.

•Use accessories recommended by ARO.

•Whenever the Angle Head is installed or reposi- tioned, the Throttle Lever must be positioned so that reaction torque will not tend to retain the throttle in the “ON” position.

•This tool is not designed for working in explosive atmospheres.

•This tool is not insulated against electric shock.

The use of other than genuine ARO replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance, and increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warranties.
