PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS

Read Operating Instructions

Always become familiar with all the instructions and warnings before operating any power tool.

Always Wear Approved

Eye Protection

Impact resistant eye protection should meet or exceed the standards as set forth in the United

States ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and Educational Eye and Face

Protection. Look for the marking

Z87.1 on your eye protection to insure that it is an approved style.

For further information, ANSI Z87.1,

Occupational and Educational Eye and Face Protection, is available from the American National

Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West

42nd Street, New York, NY 10036.

Hearing Protection is

Recommended

Hearing protection should be used when the noise level exposure equals or exceeds an 8 hour timeweighted average sound level of 85 dBA. Process noise, reflective surfaces, other tools being operated nearby, all add to the noise level present in your work area. If you are unable to determine your noise level exposure, we recommend the use of hearing protection.

Avoid Prolonged Exposure to

Vibration

Tools can vibrate during use.

Prolonged exposure to vibration or very repetitive hand and arm movements, can cause injury. Stop using any tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. You should consult your physician before resuming use of the tool.

90 PSIG Maximum

This tool is designed to operate at an air pressure of 90 pounds per square inch gauge pressure (90

PSIG) maximum, at the tool. Use of higher air pressure can, and may cause injury. Also, the use of higher air pressure places the internal components under loads and stresses they were not designed for, causing premature failure. The air supply should be clean and dry, preferably lubricated. For best results, drain the moisture from your compressor daily.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:

•

•

•

Lead from lead-based paints

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and other masonry products

Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated area and work with approved safety equipment such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
