Use and Care Manual
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while you are tired or under the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewellery. Keep your hair, clothing and
gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewellery, or long hair can be caught in moving parts.
Air vents on the tool often cover moving parts and should be avoided.
Wear the proper personal protective equipment when necessary. Use ANSI Z87.1 compliant
safety goggles (not safety glasses) with side shields, or when needed, a face shield. Use a dust mask
in dusty work conditions. Also use non-skid safety shoes, hard-hat, gloves, dust collection systems,
and hearing protection when appropriate. This applies to all persons in the work area.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Remove keys or wrenches before connecting the tool to an air supply, power supply, or turning on
the tool. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool may cause personal injury.
Secure the work with clamps or a vise instead of your hand when practical. This safety
precaution allows for proper tool operation using both hands.
Do not force the tool. Products are safer and do a better job when used in the manner
for which they are designed. Plan your work, and use the correct product for the job.
Check for damaged parts before each use. Carefully check that the product will operate properly
and perform its intended function. Replace damaged or worn parts immediately. Never operate the
product with a damaged part.
Do not use a product with a malfunctioning switch. Any power tool that cannot be controlled with
the power switch is dangerous and must be repaired by an authorized service representative
before using.
Disconnect the power/air supply from the product and place the switch in the locked or
off position before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
Store the tool when it is not in use. Store it in a dry, secure place out of the reach of children. Inspect
the tool for good working condition prior to storage and before re-use.
Use only accessories that are recommended by the manufacturer for use with your product.
Accessories that may be suitable for one product may create a risk of injury when used with
another tool. Never use an accessory that has a lower operating speed or operating pressure than
the tool itself.
Keep guards in place and in working order. Never operate the product without the guards in place.
Do not leave the tool running unattended.
Always wear the proper protective equipment including ANSI Z87.1 compliant eye protection, NIOSH
compliant breathing protection, anti-vibration work gloves, steel toed work boots, and a helmet.
