WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities, contain chemicals known [to the State of California] to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

-Lead from lead-based paints

-Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products

-Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.

Air Hammer Specific Safety Warnings.

1.Repetitive motions or exposure to vibration may be harmful to your hands and arms.

2.When wearing gloves to operate the Air Hammer, make sure that the gloves do not interfere with operating the Trigger (16). Test your gloves with the Trigger (16) before attaching the unit to an air source.

3.Never start the tool unless you have a firm grip with both hands and you are positioned at your workpiece or area.

4.Before using the Air Hammer, know what is directly underneath the work area or workpiece. The Air Hammer can quickly penetrate material. If working directly on the ground, make sure you are not directly above shallow cables, lines, or pipes.

5.Keep your limbs and body clear of the Air Hammer. If a chisel or bit breaks off, the tool tends to surge forward suddenly. Make sure the immediate area is clear of other people or animals. Spectators must stay at a safe distance.

6.Never point the tool or the air hose (not included) at anyone.

7.Keep your finger away from the Trigger (16) until you are ready to work.

Warning!! Any spectators in the area will need eye and ear protection.

Beware of flying chips of wood, concrete, metal, or any other material being hammered.
