OWNER’S MANUAL
• Use the right tool for the job. DO NOT attempt to force small equipment to do the work of larger
industrial equipment. There are certain applications for which this equipment was designed. This
product will be safer and do a better job at the capacity for which it was intended. DO NOT use
this equipment for a purpose for which it was not intended.
• Industrial or commercial applications must follow OSHA requirements.
WARNING:
WORK AREA SAFETY
• Inspect the work area before each use. Keep work area clean, dry, free of clutter, and well-lit.
Cluttered, wet, or dark work areas can result in injury. Using the product in confined work
areas may put you dangerously close to cutting tools and rotating parts.
• Do not use the product where there is a risk of causing a fire or an explosion; e.g., in the
presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The product can create sparks, which may
ignite the flammable liquids, gases, or dust.
• Do not allow the product to come into contact with an electrical source. The tool is not
insulated and contact will cause electrical shock.
• Keep children and bystanders away from the work area while operating the tool. Do not allow
children to handle the product.
• Be aware of all power lines, electrical circuits, water pipes, and other mechanical hazards in
your work area. Some of these hazards may be hidden from your view and may cause
personal injury and/or property damage if contacted.
PERSONAL SAFETY
• 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 influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A
moment of inattention while operating the tool may result in serious personal injury.
• Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing, dangling objects, or jewelry. Keep your hair,
clothing and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, 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, hardhat, 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.
CAUTION:
PRODUCT USE AND CARE
• Do not force the product. 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 product 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.
