aIR SUPPly SafETy 1. use only clean, dry, and regulated air. Condensation from an air compressor can rust and damage the internal workings of the tool. 2. dANGEr OF ExPLOSiON ANd/Or SEriOuS PErSONAL iNjurY. do not use bottled gases to power this tool. Bottled compressed gases, including but not limited to oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, hydrogen, propane, acetylene or air are not for use with pneumatic tools. Never use combustible gases or any other reactive gas as a power source for this tool. 3. regulate the air pressure. use air pressure that is compatible with the operation pressure of the tool (45 to 90 PSi). NEVEr let the air pressure exceed 91 PSi. 4. All air supply components (hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc.) must have a working pressure rating of at least 135 PSi (150% of the maximum operating pressure). 5. Make sure the air supply hose is free of obstructions or snags. 6. Make sure all connections are nice and tight. use appropriate hose tape to prevent leaking. Pay attention to air hoses and their connections to prevent tripping over them. aTTaCHMENT SafETy 1. Only use accessories and attachments that are designed for this tool. 2. Never use dull chisels, as they require excessive pressure and cause the tool to break. dull tools can also cause increased vibration. 3. disconnect the tool from the air supply before mounting or replacing the attachments. 4. Avoid any direct contact with the attachments both during or after use. The tools can be hot immediately after operation. Wear work gloves when handling attachments. 5. Never try to cool down hot attachments in water. This can lead to brittleness and failure of the tool. OPERaTION SafETy 1. use the right tool for the job. do not force the tool to do a job for which it was not designed. 2. inspect the tool and attachments before use. dO NOT operate if any portion of the tool, trigger or lock- ing sleeve is damaged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Broken parts may be ejected at high speed during operation, causing serious injuries. damaged parts, leaking air, improper mounting, or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use. 3.
