Do not adjust the regulator to result in output pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure of this air tool. 2. Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may become damaged. 3. Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached. 4. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning label. 5. Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not function properly. 6. Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals. 7. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is dusty. WARNING: Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are: Lead from lead based paint, crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber. Your risk from those 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 dust masks that are specifically designed to filter out microscopic particles.
