Compressed air models always use clean, dry
air at 90 psi (6.2bar/620kPa) maximum air
pressure at the inlet. Higher pressure may
result in hazardous situations including
excessive speed, rupture, or incorrect output
torque or force.
Electric models must always utilize proper
gauge, and rated electrical cords with correct
connections.
Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correctly
sized and secured.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off has
been installed in the air or electrical supply line.
Make others aware of its location.

Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust
and particles created by power tool use:
- Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
and grinding, drilling, and other construction
activities contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints,
- Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and
other masonry products, and
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated
lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending
on how often you do this type of work. To reduce
your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well
ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are
specially designed to filter out microscopic
particles.
Keep others a safe distance from your work area,
or ensure they use appropriate Personal
Protective Equipment.

their motion after throttle is released,
To avoid accidental starting –ensure tool in
“off” position before applying air pressure or
connecting to electricity. Avoid throttle when
carrying, and release throttle with loss of air or
electricity.
Ensure work pieces are secure. Use clamps or
vises to hold work piece whenever possible.
