Important Safety Instructions (Continued)

f.Always wear eye protection.

g. Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause

hearing loss.

h.Do not attach the hose or tool to your body. Attach the hose to the structure to reduce the risk of loss of balance if the hose shifts.

Always remain in a firmly balanced

position when using or handling the tool.

Avoid long extended periods of work

with the tool. Stop using the tool if you feel pain in hands or arms.

i.Never point an air tool at oneself or any other person. Serious injury could occur.

j.Do not put hands near or under moving parts.

Tool Use and Care

a.Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.

b.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.

c.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.

d.

 

 

 

Disconnect the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

tool from the air

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

source before making adjustments,

 

doing tool maintenance, clearing

 

jams, leaving work area,loading,

 

or unloading the tool. Such

 

precautionary measures reduce the

 

risk of injury to persons.

e.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.

f.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.

g.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.

h.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.

i.Selecting an appropriate tool actuation system, taking into consideration the work application for which the tool is used.

Never use

gasoline or other flammable liquids to clean the tool. Never use

the tool in the presence of flammable liquids or gases. Vapors could ignite by a spark and cause an explosion which will result in death or serious personal injury.

Do not exceed maximum operating

pressure of the air tool (90 psi). The air tool could explode and result in death or serious personal injury.

Do not use hand tool sockets. Use

impact quality sockets only. Hand tool sockets are “glass-hard” and will shatter and can cause serious personal injury if used with air tools.

j.Never trigger the tool when not applied to a work object. Attachments must be securely attached. Loose attachments can cause serious injury.

Release all pressure from the system

before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.

k.Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight and ensure equipment is in safe working condition.

Always disconnect the tool from

the power source when unattended, performing any maintenance or repair, clearing a jam, or moving the tool to a new location.

Always fit tool with a fitting or

hose coupling on or near the tool in such a manner that all compressed air in the tool is discharged at the time the fitting or hose coupling is disconnected. Do not use a check valve or any other fitting which allows air to remain in the tool. Death or serious personal injury could occur.

Never carry the tool by the air hose

or pull the hose to move the tool or a compressor. Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any hose that is damaged, weak or worn. Personal injury or tool damage could occur.

! WARNING

Do not operate or allow anyone else to operate the tool if any warnings or warning labels are not legible.

Warnings or warning labels are located on the tool magazine and body.

Do not drop or throw the tool.

Dropping or throwing the tool can result in damage that will make the tool unusable or unsafe. If the tool has been dropped or thrown, examine the tool closely for bent, cracked or broken parts and air leaks. STOP and repair before using or serious injury could occur.

Clean and check all air supply hoses

and fittings before connecting the tool to an air supply. Replace any damaged or worn hoses or fittings. Tool performance or durability may be reduced.

Do not use hand- tool sockets. Use

impact quality sockets only. Hand tool sockets are “glass-hard” and will shatter and can cause serious personal injury if used with air tools.

Release all pressure from the system before attempting to install, service, relocate or perform any maintenance.
