1. The warnings and precautions discussed in this manual cannot cover all possible
conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but
must be supplied by the operator.
2. Only use with impact rated accessories. Other accessories not designed for the forces
generated may break and forcefully launch pieces.
3. Do not hold accessories during operation. Attach all accessories properly to the tool
before connecting the air supply. A loose accessory may detach or break during
operation.
4. Obey the manual for the air compressor used to power this tool.
5. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an
emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
6. Use this tool with both hands only. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss
of control.
7. Do not lay the tool down until it has come to a complete stop. Moving parts can grab
the surface and pull the tool out of your control.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause
temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined
by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure medical problems are not
being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired
blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or
Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration
(such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as
possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers,
increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
6.
Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibration
occurs, stop immediately.
