Silent Air Series
19. The air pressure switch is set at the factory
for optimum performance of your equipment.
Never attempt to bypass or remove this switch
as serious damage to equipment or personal
injury could result from excessive air pressure.
20. Compressed air from the unit may contain
carbon monoxide. Air produced is not suitable
for breathing purposes.
21. Always use a respirator when spraying paint
or chemicals.
Air Tool Cautions
1. DO NOT use air tools that are rated below the
maximum rating of the compressor. Select
air tools, air hoses, pipes, valves, lters and
other ttings accordingly. DO NOT exceed
manufacturer’s rated safe operating pressures
for these items.
2. Make sure all hose connections are
adequately secured to prevent tools or hose
ends from being accidentally disconnected.
3. Remove adjusting keys or wrenches before
turning the tool on. A wrench or key that is
left attached to a moving part of the tool may
result in personal injury.
4. Keep work area clean and well lit.
Cluttered or dark work areas invite accidents.
5. Keep children away.
All children should be kept away from the work
area. Never let a child handle a tool without
strict adult supervision.
6. Store idle tools out of the reach of children and
untrained persons.
Tools may be dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
7. Do not operate any tool if under the inuence
of alcohol or drugs.
Read warning labels on prescriptions to
determine if your judgment or reexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any
doubt, do not attempt to operate.
8. Do not force tool.
Use the correct tool for your application. The
correct tool will do the job better and safer at
the rate for which it was designed.
9. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn
it on and o.
Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
10. Check for damage.
Check your tool regularly. If part of the tool
is damaged it should be carefully inspected
to make sure that it can perform its’ intended
function correctly. If in doubt, the part should
be repaired. Refer all servicing to a qualied
technician. Consult your dealer for advice.
11. Maintain tools with care.
Keep tools sharp and clean. Properly
maintained tools, with sharp cutting edges, are
less likely to bind and are easier to control.

Power Source Connection
Power Requirements
This tool is designed to operate on a properly
grounded 120 volt, 60 Hz, single phase alternating
current (AC) power source fused with a 15 amp time
delayed circuit breaker. It is recommended that a
qualied electrician verify the ACTUAL VOLTAGE at
the receptacle into which the tool will be plugged and
conrm that the receptacle is properly grounded. The
use of the proper circuit size can eliminate nuisance
circuit breaker tripping when using your tool.
Improper performance, and/or, damage to the tool
will result if operated on inadequate, or excessive
power.
DO NOT OPERATE THIS TOOL if
the ACTUAL power source
voltage is less than 105 volts AC or greater than
132 volts AC.
Grounding Instructions
In the event of an electrical malfunction or short
circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electric shock.
The motor of this machine is wired for 120 V single
phase operation and is equipped with a 3-conductor
cord and a 3-prong grounding plug to t a grounded
type receptacle (B, g 5). Do not remove the 3rd
prong (grounding pin) to make it t into an old 2-hole
wall socket or extension cord. If an adaptor plug is
