1.
2.
Work area safety
a. Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered or dark areas invite accidents.
b. Keep children and bystanders away while operating this Planishing Hammer.
Distractions can cause you to lose control.
Personal safety
a. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating.
Do not use this tool while you are tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol
or medication. A moment of inattention while operating may result in serious
personal injury.
b. Use safety equipment. Always wear ANSI-approved safety goggles and
heavy-duty work gloves. Safety equipment such as dust mask, non-skid
safety shoes, hard hat, or hearing protection used for appropriate conditions
will reduce personal injuries.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times. This
enables better control of the power tool in unexpected situations.
d. 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.
e. WARNING: The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical
known to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive
harm). (California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)
3.
Tool use and care
a. Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for your application. The correct
tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which it was designed.
b. Do not use the Planishing Hammer if the Trigger (16) does not completely
start and stop the action of the tool. If the Planishing Hammer cannot be
controlled with the Trigger (16), it is dangerous and must be repaired.
c. Disconnect the Planishing Hammer from the air source before making any
adjustments, changing accessories, or storing. Such preventive safety
measures reduce the risk of starting the tool accidentally.
d. Store the Planishing Hammer out of the reach of children and do not allow
persons unfamiliar with this tool or these instructions to operate the Planishing
Hammer. Tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.

e. Maintain tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage
of parts, damaged or cracked hoses, bad connections and any other condition
that may affect the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool repaired
before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools. Properly
maintained tools are less likely to bind and are easier to control.
f. Use the Planishing Hammer in accordance with these instructions and
in the manner intended for this particular type of tool, taking into account
the working conditions and the work to be performed. Use of this tool for
operations different from those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
4.
service
a. Have your Planishing Hammer serviced by a qualified repair person using
only identical replacement parts. This will ensure that the safety of the tool is
maintained.
ViBraTiON Hazard
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may
cause temporary or permanent physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms
and shoulders. To reduce the risk of vibration-related injury:
1.
Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first
be examined by a doctor and then have regular medical check-ups to ensure
medical problems are not being caused or worsened from use. Pregnant women
or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes, or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this
tool. If you feel any medical or physical symptoms related to vibration (such as
tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical advice as soon as
possible.
2.
Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood supply to the hands and
fingers, increasing the risk of vibration-related injury.
3.
4.
Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
Use tools with the lowest vibration when there is a choice between different
processes.
5.
6.
Include vibration-free periods each day of work.
Grip the workpiece as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
Let the tool do the work.
7.
To reduce vibration, maintain the tool as explained in this manual. If any
abnormal vibration occurs, stop use immediately.

Read this manual before set up and/or use.
Maintain labels and nameplates on the tool. These carry important safety
information. If unreadable or missing, contact Harbor Freight Tools for a
replacement.
8.
Avoid unintentional starting. Prepare to begin work before turning on the tool.
9.
Keep fingers away from the anvil head.
10.
Do not leave the tool unattended when it is plugged into an air supply. Turn off
the tool, and disconnect from air supply before leaving.
11.
Use clamps (not included) or other practical ways to secure and support the
workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or against your body is
unstable and may lead to loss of control.
12.
13.
This product is not a toy. Keep it out of reach of children.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other
construction activities, contains chemicals known [to the State of California] to
cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these
chemicals are:
Lead from lead-based paints
Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber
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 those dust masks that
are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles. (California Health &
Safety Code § 25249.5, et seq.)
