PERCUSSIVE TOOL SPECIFIC WARNINGS
•When wearing gloves and operating models with inside trigger, always be sure that the gloves will not prevent the trigger from being released.
•Wear safety shoes, hard hat, safety goggles, gloves, dustmask and any other appropriate protective clothing while operating the tool.
•Do not indulge in horseplay. Distraction can cause accidents.
•Keep hands and fingers away from the throttle lever until it is time to operate the tool.
•Never rest the tool or chisel on your foot.
•Never point the tool at anyone.
•Compressed air is dangerous. Never point an air hose at yourself or
•Never blow clothes free of dust with compressed air.
•Be sure all hose connections are tight. A loose hose not only leaks but can come completely off the tool and while whipping under pressure, can injure the operator and others in the area. Attach safety cables to all hoses to prevent injury in case a hose is accidentally broken.
•Never disconnect a pressurized air hose. Always turn off the air supply and bleed the tool before disconnecting a hose.
•The operator must keep limbs and body clear of the chisel. If a chisel breaks, the tool with the broken chisel projecting from the tool will suddenly surge forward.

•Know what is underneath the material being worked. Be alert for hidden water, gas, sewer, telephone or electric lines.
•Use only proper cleaning solvents to clean parts. Use only cleaning solvents which meet current safety and health standards. Use cleaning solvents in a well ventilated area.
•Do not flush the tool or clean any parts with diesel fuel. Diesel fuel residue will ignite in the tool when the tool is operated, causing damage to internal parts. When using models with outside triggers or throttle levers, take care when setting the tool down to prevent accidental operation.
•Do not operate the tool with broken or damaged parts.
•Never start the tool when it is lying on the ground.
