IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow that is at least 6 cubic feet per minute (CFM),
4.5 CFM, 4 CFM, at 90 pounds per square inch (PSI). Check the specifications of your air compressor to be
sure that it can support both the minimum CFM and PSI required. An air hose may cause up to 15 PSI drop
in pressure, so you may need to set the output higher to maintain the required pressure at the tool.

IMPORTANT : Cet outil nécessite un débit d’air d’au moins 6 pi par minute, 4,5 pi par minute, 4 pi par
minute à une pression de 90 PSI. Vérifiez les spécifications de votre compresseur d’air afin de vous assurer
3
qu’il satisfait aux exigences minimales (pi /min et PSI). L’utilisation d’un tuyau à air peut entraîner une chute
de pression de jusqu’à 15 PSI. Il peut donc s’avérer nécessaire d’augmenter la pression afin de maintenir
un niveau adéquat.
IMPORTANTE: Para funcionar de manera correcta, esta herramienta requiere un flujo de aire de por lo
menos 6 pies cúbicos por minutos (CFM por sus siglas en inglés), 4,5 CFM, 4 CFM para 90 libras por
pulgada cuadrada (PSI, por sus siglas en inglés). Revise las especificaciones de su compresora de aire
para asegurarse de que puede soportar tanto los CFM como las PSI mínimas requeridas. Una manguera
de aire comprimido puede causar una caída de hasta 15 PSI en la presión, de manera que puede necesitar
configurar la potencia más alta para mantener la presión requerida en la herramienta.

ignition of flammable materials.
Exceeding the maximum pressure
rating of tools or accessories could
cause an explosion resulting in
serious injury.
RISK OF FIRE OR EXPLOSION
Never operate tools near flammable
substances such as gasoline, naphtha,
cleaning solvents, etc.
Work in a clean, well-ventilated area
free of combustible materials.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide or
other bottled gases as a power source
for air tools.
Use compressed air regulated to a
maximum pressure at or below the
rated pressure of any attachments.
Never connect to an air source that is
capable of exceeding 200 psi.
Always verify prior to using the tools
that the air source has been adjusted
to the rated air pressure range.
