DEFINITIONS - SAFETY GUIDELINES

The definitions below describe the level of severity for each signal word. Please read the manual and pay attention to these symbols.

DANGER: Indicates an imminently hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.

WARNING: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazard­ous­ situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moder­ate­ injury.

NOTICE: Used without the safety alert symbol indicates a situation which, if not

avoided, may result in property damage.

•	Actuating tool may result in flying debris, collation	Fig. A
	material, or dust which could harm operator’s eyes.
	Operator and others in work area MUST wear safety
	glasses with side shields. These safety glasses must
	conform to ANSI Z87.1 requirements (approved glasses
	have “Z87” printed or stamped on them). It is the
	employer’s responsibility to enforce the use of eye
	protection equipment by the tool operator and other
	people in the work area. (Fig. A)	Fig. B
•	Always wear appropriate personal hearing and other
	protection during use. Under some conditions and
	duration of use, noise from this product may contribute
	to hearing loss. (Fig. A)
• Use only clean, dry, regulated air. Condensation­ from
	an air compressor can rust and damage the internal
	workings of the tool. (Fig. B)	Fig. C
•	Regulate air pressure. Use air pressure compatible
	with ratings on the nameplate of the tool. [Not to
	exceed 120 psi (8.3 bar).] Do not connect the tool to a	70 psi
	compressor rated at over 200 psi. The tool operating

pressure must never exceed 200 psi even in the event of	4.9 bar
regulator failure. (Fig. C)

•Only use an air hose that is rated for a maximum working pressure of at least 150 psi (10.3 bar) or

150% of the maximum system pressure, whichever is	Fig. D
greater. (Fig. D)
• Do not use bottled gases to power this tool. Bottled
compressed gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide,
nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not
