Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check for
damaged or loose hoses and fi ttings.
Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See
instructions for correct setup.
Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins must
be installed.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.3 bar or as
stated on tool nameplate.

WARNING
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
specifi c 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. Be
aware of excess hose left on the walking or work surface.
Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Use
hearing protection as recommended by your employer or
OSHA regulation (see 29 CFR part 1910).
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 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 fi lter out microscopic particles.
