before fitting, removing or adjusting the working
attachment fittedtothetool.
-
Beforeusingthetool, makesurethat a
shut
off device
hasbeenfittedtotheair supplylineandthepositionis
known
and
easily accessible
so
that the
air
supply to
the tool canbeshut

in
anemergency.
-
Check hose
and
fittings regularlyfor wear.
-Take careagainst entanglement
of
the
moving
partsof
the tool with clothing, hair, ties, cleaning rags, rings,
jewelry, watches, bracelets, etc. This could cause the
bodyor partsof the body tobedrawntowards
and
in
contactwiththe movingpartsof thetoolandcouldbe
very dangerous.
-It is expected that users will adopt safe working
practices and observe all local, regional and country
legal requirements when installing, using or
maintainingthe tool.
-Take care that the exhaust air does notpoint towards
any other person or material or substance that could
becontaminatedbyoildroplets. Whenfirst lubricating
a tool or if the tool exhaust has a highoilcontent, do
not allow the exhaust air to come near very hot
surfaces orflames.
-
Never lay the tool down until the working attachment
hasstopped moving.
-When the tool isnotinuse, shut off the air supply and
press the triggertlever to drain the supply line.
If
the
toolisnottobeusedfor a periodoftime, firstlubricate,
disconnect from air supply and store
in
a dry average
roomtemperature environment.
-If the tool is passed from one user to a new or
inexperienceduser, make sure these instructions are
passedwiththetool.
-
Do not remove any manufacturer fitted safety devices
where fitted, i-e., wheel guards, safety trigger, speed
governors, etc.
-Wherever possible, secure workpiece with clamps, a

teaspoonful(5ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil
preferably incorporatinga rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air
