General Safety Information
This manual contains information that is very important
to know and understand. This information is provided
for SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT
PROBLEMS. To help identify this information,
observe the following symbols.
Caution indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could
result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
Danger indicates and imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will
result in death or serious injury
Entanglement Hazards
Keep away from rotating drive.
Do not wear jewelry or loose
clothing.
Choking can occur if neckwear is not kept away from
the tool and accessories.
Scalping can occur if hair is not kept away from the
tool and accessories.
Avoid direct contact with accessories during use.
Use only proper accessories designed for use with
pneumatic tools.
Projectile Hazards
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when using the tool or if you are near it while it is in
operation or are working with or on the tool.
Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-
resistant eye and face protection.
Even small projectiles can injure
eyes and cause blindness.
Workplace Hazards
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of
serious injury or death. Beware of excess hose left
on the walking or work surface.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and
exposure to vibration can be harmful to hands and
arms. Operators and maintenance personnel must be
physically able to handle the bulk, weight and power of
this tool.
Operation
Designed to operate on 90 PSI, lower pressure (below 90
PSI) will reduce performance of the tool while higher air
pressure (over 90 PSI) raises the performance of the tool
beyond its rated capacity and could cause serious damage to
tool and user.
Always use clean dry air. Excessive
moisture and dirt will greatly reduce the life of any air
motor.
We recommend the installation of an inline filter-regulator-
lubricator as close to the tool as possible.
Operation
Supply the tool with 90 PSI of clean, dry air. Higher pressure
drastically reduces tool life. However, line pressure should be
increased to compensate for unusually long hoses (over 25ft).
Minimum hose size should be ¼” in diameter with fittings
having the same inner diameters.
Air Supply and Connection Hazards
Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before
changing accessories or when making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure of
90 PSI.
Water in the airline will cause damage to the tool.
Drain air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on a
weekly basis.
Lubrication
Use an airline lubricator, two drops per minute. If an air line
lubricator cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a
day, or more frequently for extended use.
