IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING —When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following.
General
To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons, read all the instructions before using tool.
Work Area
1. Keep the work area clean and well lit. Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire,
and injury to persons.
2. Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gases, or dust. The
tool is able to create sparks resulting in the ignition of the dust or fumes.
3. Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions could result in the loss of control
of the tool.
Personal Safety
1 Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool. Do not use the tool
while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while operating the tool
increases the risk of injury to persons.
2. Dress properly. Do not wear loose 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.
3. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the trigger is released before connecting to the air supply. Do not
connect the tool to the air supply with the switch on.
4. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning the tool on. A wrench or a key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the tool increases the risk of personal injury
5. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
6. Use safety equipment. A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes and a hard hat must be used for the applicable
conditions.
7. Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.
8. Always wear hearing protection when using the tool. Prolonged exposure to high intensity noise is able to cause
hearing loss.
Tool Use and Care
1. Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the
work by hand or against the body is unstable and is able to lead to loss of control.
2 Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the
rate for which the tool is designed.
3. Do not use the tool if the switch does not turn the tool on or off. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
4 Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, 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
1-800-345-4545 jegs.com

5. Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A tool is dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
6. Maintain the tool with care.
7. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects
the tool's operation. If damaged, 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
8. Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of an accessory
not intended for use with the specific tool model, increases the risk of injury to persons.
Assembly Precautions
1. Assemble only according to these instructions. Improper assembly can create hazards.
2. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and heavy-duty work gloves during assembly.
3. Keep assembly area clean and well lit.
4. Keep bystanders out of the area during assembly.
5. Do not assemble when tired or the influence of drugs or medication.
Silicosis and Aluminum Oxide Warnings
WARNING! Abrasive blasting with sand containing crystalline silica can cause serious or fatal respiratory disease.
Exposure to crystalline silica may cause silicosis (a serious lung disease); cancer and death. Exposure to aluminum
oxide (a dust generated from material removing processes) can result in eye, skin and breathing irritation. Always use a
NIOSH (National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) approved respirator and safety goggles. Avoid skin
exposure. Proper ventilation in the work area is required. Read and understand the 10 recommended measures below
to reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace and prevent silicosis and silicosis related deaths.
NIOSH recommends the following measures to reduce crystalline silica exposures in the workplace and
prevent silicosis and silicosis-related deaths:
1. Prohibit silica sand (or other substances containing more than 1% crystalline silica) as an abrasive blasting material
and substitute less hazardous materials.
2. Conduct air monitoring to measure worker exposures.
3. Use containment methods such as blast-cleaning machines and cabinets to control hazard and protect adjacent
workers from exposure.
4. Practice good personal hygiene to avoid unnecessary exposure to silica dust.
5. Wear washable or disposable protective clothes at the work site. Shower and change into clean clothes before
leaving the work site to prevent contamination of cars, homes and other work areas.
6. Use respiratory protection when source controls cannot keep silica exposures below the NIOSH REL.
7. Provide medical examinations for all workers who may be exposed to crystalline silica.
8. Post signs to warn workers about the hazard and to inform them about required protective equipment.
9. Provide workers with training that includes information about health effects, work practices and protective equipment
for crystalline silica.
10. Report all cases of silicosis to State health departments and to OSHA or the Mine Safety and Health Administration
(MSHA).
Vibration Precautions
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical
injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders, To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and then have
regular check-ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud's
Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any symptoms related to vibration (such as tingling, numbness, and white
or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and fingers increasing the risk of vibration-
related injury.
3. Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice.
4. Include vibration free periods each day of work.
5. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it). Let the tool do the work.
6. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as explained in this manual.If abnormal vibration occurs, stop immediately.

Air Supply
WARNING! To prevent serious injury from 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 his tool.
1. Incorporate a filter, regulator With pressure gauge, dryer, in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for best service. An
in-line shutoff ball valve is an important safety device because it controls the air supply even if the air hose is
ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
Note: An oiler system should not be used with this tool. The oil will mix with the material being propelled, causing tool
to clog.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet. Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool. Other components,
such as a coupler plug and quick coupler, will make operation more efficient, 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 flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air supply components. The air hose
must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.
1-800-345-4545 jegs.com

3. Turn the tool's throttle or switch to the off position.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer's directions and allow it to build up pressure until it cycles
off.
6. Adjust the air compressors output 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.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks. Repair any leaks found
8. If the tool will not be used at this time, 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 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 not powered.
