or a bystander. Disable and discard the air tank according to the
your municipality by-laws.
1. Never drill into, weld, patch or modify the air tank. Immediately
replace the tank or compressor if an air leak develops. The leak
may lead to a rupture.
2. Never make adjustments to the components that control tank
pressure. Serious injury or death may occur if modifications are
made to the pressure switch, safety relief valve or other
components that control the tank pressure.
3. Check operation of the pressure relief valve on a regular basis and
never operate without a factory approved pressure relief valve. Do
not make alterations to the factory operating pressure settings.
POWER TOOL PRECAUTIONS
Tool accessory is a general term that refers to drill bit, saw or cutting
blades, grinding wheel, etc. as appropriate for the tool.
1. Do not use any power tool with a malfunctioning power switch or
control. A power tool that fails to respond to the controls is dangerous
and can cause an injury. A qualified technician must repair and verify
the power tool is operating correctly, before it can be used.
2. Do not cover the air vents.
3. Disconnect the power source before installing or servicing the tool.
4. Never force the tool. Excessive pressure could break the tool,
resulting in damage to your workpiece or serious personal injury.

Kickback can be avoided by taking proper precautions:
1. Maintain a firm grip on the tool and position your body and arms to
allow you to resist a kickback. Kickback will propel the tool in the
direction opposite to the grinding accessory’s direction of rotation. A
snagged grinding die may pull the tool out of the grasp of the user.
2. If kickback occurs, the accessory may:
2.1 pass over a body part, causing a seriously injury;
2.2 wrench the user’s arm causing muscle or joint injuries; and
2.3 strike bystanders.
3. Use clamps or a vice to hold down smaller workpieces.
4. Use special care when working on corners, sharp edges or flexible
material. These workpieces have a tendency to snag the grinding
accessory.
5. Only use grinding accessories designed for the tool.
6. Support large panels to minimize the risk of pinching the grinding
accessory. Large panels may sag under their own weight.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
1. This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical injury. Take
frequent breaks when using the tool.

NOTICE! Never use a penetrating oil to lubricate an air tool.
Penetrating oil acts as a solvent that will dissolve the tool’s
grease packing and may damage the o-rings, causing the tool to
seize or malfunction.
1. All air tools have an internal coating of grease to prevent corrosion
during shipping and storage. Remove this grease by adding a
generous amount of air tool oil in the air inlet and then run the tool
under no load until the exhaust is clear.
2. Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool’s male
coupler before each use and after every hour of continuous use.
The tool will not work properly without lubrication and parts will
wear prematurely.
3. Avoid adding too much air tool oil as this can cause premature
power loss and eventual tool failure. A qualified technician will need
to take the tool apart and clean out the excess oil.
4. Apply a generous amount of air tool oil to the tool before storing it
for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.). Run the
tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly
distributed throughout the tool. Store it in a clean and dry location.
DISPOSAL
Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility.

PRÉCAUTIONS RELATIVES AUX OUTILS
PNEUMATIQUES
1. Utilisez uniquement un air comprimé propre et sec comme source
d’énergie. L’air contaminé ou humide endommagera progressivement
l’outil.
2. Installez une soupape d'arrêt ou un régulateur sur la conduite afin
de permettre une commande immédiate de l'alimentation en air, en
cas d'urgence, même si un tuyau se fend.
3. Arrêtez d’utiliser l’outil s’il ne fonctionne pas correctement ou s’il
présente des fuites d’air. Attachez une étiquette sur l’outil indiquant
qu’il est « défectueux » ou qu’il est « hors service », jusqu’à ce qu’il
soit réparé.
4. Consultez la pression nominale maximale du fabricant en ce qui
concerne les outils pneumatiques et accessoires. La pression de
sortie du compresseur doit être réglée de façon à ne jamais
dépasser la pression nominale maximale de l'outil (consultez
Spécifications). Si on dépasse la pression nominale maximale, il
pourrait en résulter un risque d’explosion capable d’entraîner des
blessures et des dommages aux biens.
5. Arrêtez d’utiliser l’outil s’il ne fonctionne pas correctement ou s’il
présente des fuites d’air. Attachez une étiquette sur l’outil indiquant
qu’il est « défectueux » ou qu’il est « hors service », jusqu’à ce qu’il
soit réparé.
