Air Supply And Connection Hazards
Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before
changing accessories or when making repairs.
Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for
damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See
instructions for correct set-up.
Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins
must be installed.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi (6.2 bar) or
as stated on tool nameplate.
Entanglement Hazards
Keep away from rotating drive.
Do not wear jewelry or loose clothing.
Choking can occur if neckwear is not kept away from tool
and accessories.
Scalping can occur if hair is not kept away from tool and
accessories.
Avoid direct contact with accessories during and after use.
Gloves will reduce the risk of cuts or burns.
Use only proper accessory retainers (see parts list). Use
deep sockets wherever possible.
Projectile Hazards
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when
involved with or near the operation, repair or maintenance
of the tool or changing accessories on the tool.
Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-resistant
eye and face protection.
Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause blindness.
Use only impact wrench sockets and accessories in good
condition. Sockets in poor condition or hand sockets and
accessories used with impact wrenches can shatter.
Always use the simplest hook-up possible. Long, springy
extension bars and adapters absorb impact power and
could break. Use deep sockets wherever possible.
DO NOT DISCARD - GIVE TO USER
To reduce risk of injury, everyone using, installing, repairing,
maintaining, changing accessories on, or working near this tool must
read and understand these instructions before performing any such
task.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

Never operate the tool off of the work. It may run too fast
and cause the accessory to be thrown off the tool.
Serious injury can result from over-torqued or under-
torqued fasteners, which can break, or loosen and
separate. Released assemblies can become projectiles.
Assemblies requiring a specific torque must be checked
using a torque meter.
Note: So-called "click" torque wrenches do not check for
potentially dangerous over-torque conditions.
Workplace Hazards
Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Beware of excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use
hearing protection as recommended by your employer or
OSHA regulation (see 29 CFR part 1910).
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
Be in control of the throttle at all times. Do not get caught
between the tool and the work.
Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and exposure
to vibration can be harmful to hands and arms. If
numbness, tingling, pain or whitening of the skin occurs,
stop using the tool and consult a physician.
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work
process which can be harmful to your health. Use dust
extraction and wear respiratory protective equipment when
working with materials which produce airborne particles.
Proceed with care in unfamiliar surroundings. Be aware of
potential hazards created by your work activity. This tool is
not insulated for coming into contact with electric power
sources.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of
these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other masonry
products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber
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 dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
