Read and understand all in-
structions. Failure to follow all in-
structions listed below may result in
electric shock, fire, and/or serious personal injury.
Save these instructions.
The terminology "Pneumatic Tool" or "Tool" used in
the following text refers to the so-called air tool in these
operating instructions.
Work area
Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and
dark areas invite accidents.
Do not operate tools in explosive atmospheres,
such as in the presence of flammable liquids, gas-
es, or dust. During operation of the tool, its accessory
can create sparks that may ignite the dust or fumes.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away
while operating a tool. Distractions can cause you to
lose control.
Pneumatic safety
Use compressed air of Quality Class 5 in accord-
ance with DIN ISO 8573-1 and a separate mainte-
nance unit near the tool. The compressed air sup-
plied should be free of foreign material and moisture to
protect the tool from damage, contamination, and rust.
Check the connections and air supply lines. All
maintenance units, couplers, and hoses should con-
form to the product specifications in terms of pressure
and air volume. Too low a pressure impairs the func-
tioning of the tool; too high a pressure can result in
physical damage and personal injury.
Protect the hoses from kinks, restrictions, sol-
vents, and sharp edges. Keep the hoses away
from heat, oil, and rotating parts. Immediately
replace a damaged hose. A defective air supply line
may result in a wild compressed air hose and can
cause personal injury. Raised dust or chips may
cause serious eye injury.
Make sure that hose clamps are always tight-
ened firmly. Loose or damaged hose clamps may re-
sult in uncontrolled air escape.
Personal safety
Stay alert, watch what you are doing, and use
common sense when operating a tool. Do not
use tool while tired or under the influence of
drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inat-
tention while operating tools may result in serious per-
sonal injury.

1 GENERAL SAFETY RULES

FOR PNEUMATIC TOOLS
Use safety equipment. Always wear eye protec-
tion. Safety equipment such as a dust mask, non-
skid safety shoes, a hard hat, or hearing protection
used for appropriate conditions will reduce personal
injuries.
Avoid accidental starting. Be sure switch is off
before connecting to the air supply. Carrying tools
with your finger on the switch or connecting tools to
the air supply with the switch on invites accidents.
Remove adjusting keys before turning the tool
on. A key that is left attached to a rotating part of the
tool may result in personal injury.
Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and bal-
ance at all times. Proper footing and balance ena-
bles better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or
jewelry. Keep your hair, clothing, and gloves
away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or
long hair can be caught in moving parts.
If dust extraction and collection devices are in-
stalled, ensure these are connected and properly
used. Use of these devices can reduce dust-related
hazards.
Do not directly inhale the exhaust air. Avoid ex-
posing the eyes to exhaust air. The exhaust air of
the air tool may contain water, oil, metal particles, or
contaminants that may cause personal injury.
Pneumatic tool use and care
Use clamps or other practical way to secure and
support the workpiece to a stable platform. Hold-
ing the work by hand or against your body is unstable
and may lead to loss of control.
Do not force tool. Use the correct tool for your
application. The correct tool will do the job better
and safer at the rate for which it is designed.
Do not use tool if switch does not turn it ON or
OFF. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
Disconnect the air hose from the air supply be-
fore making any adjustments, changing acces-
sories, or storing the tool. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool acciden-
tally.
Store idle air tools out of the reach of children
and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the air
tool or these instructions to operate the air tool.
Air tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained us-
ers.
