dangerous in thehands of untrainedusers.
6.Maintain toolswith care. Donot use adamaged tool.Tagdamaged tools "Donot use"
until repaired.
7.Check formisalignment or bindingof moving parts,breakages of parts,damaged air
hose (not included),and any othercondition that mayaffect thetool's operation. If
damaged, have thetool serviced beforeusing. Many accidentsare caused bypoorly
maintained tools.
8.Use onlyaccessories that arerecommended by themanufacturer for yourmodel.
Accessories that maybe suitable forone tool maybecome hazardous whenused on
another tool.
SERVICE
1.Tool service mustbe performed onlyby qualified repairpersonnel. Service or
maintenance performed byunqualified personnel couldresult in arisk of injury.
2.When servicinga tool, useonly identical replacementparts. Follow instructionsin the
Inspection, Maintenance andCleaning section of thismanual. Use ofunauthorized

90 PSI. Neveruse oxygen, carbondioxide, combustible gases,or any otherbottled gas
as a powersource for thistool.
3.When connectingto the airsupply: Prior toeach use, ifan automatic oileris not used,
add two dropsof air tooloil (not included)into the airinlet fitting ofthe tool.
4.Always disconnectthe tool fromits compressed airsupply source, andsqueeze the
trigger to releaseall compressed airin the toolbefore performing anymaintenance or
service.
5.The warnings,precautions, and instructionsdiscussed in thismanual cannot coverall
possible conditions andsituations that mayoccur.The operator mustunderstand that
