Do not operate the tool in explo-b.

sive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ammable liquids,

gases, or dust. The tool is able to

create sparks resulting in the ignition

of the dust or fumes.

Keep bystanders, children, andc.

visitors away while operating the

tool. Distractions are able to result in

the loss of control of the tool.

Personal safety

Stay alert. Watch what you are do-a.

ing and use common sense when

operating the tool. Do not use the

tool while tired or under the inu-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-

tion. A moment of inattention while

operating the tool increases the risk

of injury to persons.

Dress properly. Do not wear looseb.

clothing or jewelry. Contain long

hair. Keep hair, clothing, and

gloves away from moving parts.

Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair

increases the risk of injury to persons

as a result of being caught in moving

parts.

Avoid unintentional starting. Bec.

sure the switch is off before con-

necting to the air supply. Do not

carry the tool with your nger on the

switch or connect the tool to the air

supply with the switch on.

Do not overreach. Keep properd.

footing and balance at all times.

Proper footing and balance enables

better control of the tool in unexpect-

ed situations.

e. Use safety equipment. A

dust mask, non-skid safety

shoes and a hard hat must

be used for the applicable

conditions. Wear heavy-

duty work gloves during use.

f. Always wear eye protec-

tion. Wear ANSI-ap-

proved safety goggles.

g. Always wear hearing

protection when using

the tool. Prolonged expo-

sure to high intensity noise

is able to cause hearing

loss.

DANGER! Keep hands and bodyh.

away from cutting area and blade.

Keep your second hand on aux-

iliary handle or motor housing.

Contact with the blade will result in a

serious injury.

Do not reach underneath the work.i.

The guard does not protect you from

the blade below the work.

safer at the rate for which the tool is

designed.

Do not use the tool if the switchc.

does not turn the tool on or off.

Any tool that cannot be controlled

with the switch is dangerous and

must be repaired.

Disconnect the tool from the aird.

source before making any adjust-

ments, changing accessories, or

storing the tool. Such preventive

safety measures reduce the risk of

starting the tool unintentionally. Turn

off and detach the air supply, safely

discharge any residual air pressure,

and release the throttle and/or turn

the switch to its off position before

leaving the work area.

Store the tool when it is idle out ofe.

reach of children and other un-

trained persons. A tool is dangerous

in the hands of untrained users.

Maintain the tool with care.f. Keep a

cutting tool sharp and clean. A prop-

erly maintained tool, with sharp cut-

ting edges reduces the risk of binding

and is easier to control.

Check for misalignment or bind-g.

ing of moving parts, breakage of

parts, and any other condition that

affects the tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, have the tool serviced before

using. Many accidents are caused

by poorly maintained tools. There is a

risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

accessory not intended for use with

the specic tool model, increases the

risk of injury to persons.

Service

Tool service must be performeda.

only by qualied repair personnel.

When servicing a tool, use onlyb.

identical replacement parts. Use

only authorized parts.

Use only the lubricants suppliedc.

with the tool or specied by the

manufacturer.

Air source

a. Never connect to an air

source that is capable of

exceeding 200 psi. Over

pressurizing the tool may

cause bursting, abnormal

operation, breakage of the tool or

serious injury to persons. Use only

Air Supply

TO PREVENT

EXPLOSION:

Use only clean,

dry, regulated, compressed air

to power this tool. Do not use

oxygen, carbon dioxide,

combustible gases, or any

other bottled gas as a power

source for this tool.

1. Incorporate an in-line oiler, shut-off

valve, regulator with pressure gauge,

and lter for best service, as shown in

the diagram above. An in-line shut-

off valve is an important safety

device because it controls the air

supply even if the air hose is rup-

tured.

Note: If an automatic oiler system is not

used, add a few drops of Pneumatic

Tool Oil directly inside the tool before

after each hour of continual use.

Attach an air hose to the compres-2.

sor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose

to the air inlet of the tool. Other com-

ponents, such as a connector and

quick coupler, will make operation

more efcient, but are not required.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS

INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION:

Do not install a female quick

coupler on the tool. Such a coupler

contains an air valve that will allow

the air tool to retain pressure and

operate accidentally after the air

supply is disconnected.

Note: Air ow, and therefore tool perfor-

mance, can be hindered by under-

sized air supply components.

The air hose must be long enough3.

to reach the work area with enough

extra length to allow free movement

while working.

Make sure the tool’s throttle or switch4.

regulator so that the air output is

enough to properly power the tool,

but the output will not exceed the

tool’s maximum air pressure at any

time. Adjust the pressure gradually,

while checking the air output gauge

to set the right pressure range.

Inspect the air connections for leaks.8.

Repair any leaks found.

If the tool will not be used at this9.

time, turn off and detach the air sup-

ply, safely discharge any residual air

pressure, and release the throttle

and/or turn the switch to its off posi-

tion to prevent accidental operation.

Note: Residual air pressure should not be

present after the tool is disconnected

from the air supply. However, it is a

good safety measure to attempt to

discharge the tool in a safe fashion

after disconnecting to ensure that the

tool is disconnected and unpowered.
