HAZARD
RISK OF INJURY
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
Remove air hose when tool is not in use and store tool
in secure location away from reach of children and or
untrained users.
•
•
Tools left unattended, or with the air hose attached can

Air tools can propel fasteners or other materials
throughout the work area.
•
•
Use only parts, fasteners, and accessories
recommended by the manufacturer.
Keep work area clean and free of clutter. Keep children
and others away from work area during operation of
the tool.
Keep work area well lit.
Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before turning
the tool on.
•
•

particles throughout the work area causing serious
injury.
•
•
Always use tool attachments rated for the speed of the
power tool.
Never use tools which have been dropped, impacted or
damaged by use.
•
•
Use only impact grade sockets on an impact wrench.

HAZARD
RISK OF INJURY (continued)
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
Maintain the tool with care.
Keep a cutting tool sharp and clean. A properly
maintained tool, with sharp cutting edges reduces the
risk of binding and is easier to control.
•
•
Improperly maintained tools and accessories can cause
serious injury.
•
•
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
•
•
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects
the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using.
Use only accessories identified by the manufacturer to
be used with specific tools.
Use of an accessory not intended for use with the
specific tools, increases the risk of injury to persons.

WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
•
Using air tools to attach electrical wiring can result in
electrocution or death.
•
Never use nailer/staplers to attach electrical wiring
while energized.
This tool is not provided with an insulated gripping
surface. Contact with a “live” wire will also make
exposed metal parts of the tool “live” and can result in
electrocution or death.
•
Avoid body contact with grounded surfaces such as
pipes, radiators, ranges, and refrigerators. There is an
increased risk of electric shock if your body is
grounded.
•
Thoroughly investigate the workpiece for possible
hidden wiring before performing work.
•
Fasteners coming in contact with hidden electrical
wiring could cause electrocution or death.
HAZARD
RISK OF ENTANGLEMENT
WHAT COULD HAPPEN
HOW TO PREVENT IT
•
Tools which contain moving elements, or drive other mov-
ing tools, such as grinding wheels, sockets, sanding discs,
etc. can become entangled in hair, clothing, jewelry and
other loose objects, resulting in severe injury.

G
Set the air compressor’s regulator to 90 PSI. This tool operates at a maximum 90
PSI pressure.
Cutting wheels and spindles should be inspected daily for
excessive wear, cracking, and other damage. Replace any
cutting wheel showing signs of damage.
G
Depress the throttle safety release and throttle control lever to operate tool. NOTE:
The spindle revolves at full speed when throttle control lever is fully depressed. As
thumb is raised the self releasing throttle closes, slowing down the spindle and
allowing the operator to choose the best speed and power for the job. When the
throttle lever is completely released it cannot be depressed again until the safety
release is disengaged.
DO NOT place any portion of the body in line with the
cutting wheel while it is rotating.
G

G
Release throttle control lever to stop tool.
Always disconnect air supply when changing cutting wheels.
When job is complete, turn the air compressor off and store as described in the air
compressor operator manual.
MAINTENANCE
Lubrication
Air tools require lubrication throughout the life of the tool. The air motor and bearing uses
compressed air to power the tool. Because moisture in compressed air will rust the air
motor, you must lubricate the motor daily. An inline oiler is recommended.
To lubricate the air motor manually:
G
Disconnect the tool from the air supply holding it so the air inlet
faces up.
G
Depress the throttle safety release and throttle control lever and
place one to two drops of air tool oil in the air inlet Depressing the
throttle control lever helps circulate oil in the motor. NOTE: Use SAE
#10 weight oil if air tool oil is not available.
G
Connect the tool to an air source, cover the exhaust end with a towel
and run for a few seconds.
Any excess oil in the motor is immediately expelled from the
exhaust port. Always direct exhaust port away from people
or objects.
Failure to lubricate the tool at the air inlet will void your
warranty.
