of control can cause personal injury.
 Make sure the insulating drive gear cover is intact and
installed on the gear when performing an operation
where the cutting accessory may contact hidden
wiring. Cutting accessory contacting a "live" wire may
make exposed metal parts of the power tool "live" and
could give the operator an electric shock.
 Know your pneumatic tool. Read operator's manual

or serious injury.
 Always wear eye protection with side shields marked
to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Following this rule will re-
duce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the
operation is dusty. Following this rule will reduce the risk
of serious personal injury.
 Protect your hearing. Wear hearing protection during
extended periods of operation. Following this rule will
reduce the risk of serious personal injury.
 Make sure the hose is free of obstructions or snags.
Entangled or snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or
footing and may become damaged.
 Use the pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which
it was designed.
 Never use this tool in a manner that could cause the

OPERATION
 Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits etc.
in accordance with these instructions, taking into
account the working conditions and the work to be
performed. Use of the tool for operations different from
those intended could result in a hazardous situation.
 Do not carry the tool from place to place while con-
nected to air supply. Accidental actuation could result.
 Always handle the tool with care:
• Respect the tool as a working implement.
• Never engage in horseplay.
• Never pull the trigger unless nose is directed toward
the work.
• Keep others a safe distance from the tool while tool is in
operation as accidental actuation may occur, possibly
causing injury.
 Keep hands and body parts clear of immediate work
area. Be sure the workpiece is properly secured before
operating the power handle and attachment.

AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

 Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool as tool will ex-
plode, possibly causing injury or death.
 Do not use with an air compressor which can po-
tentially exceed 200 psi as tool may burst, possibly
causing injury.
 The connector on the tool must not hold pressure
when air supply is disconnected. If an incorrect fitting
is used, the tool can remain charged with air after discon-
necting and thus will be able to operate even after the air
line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
 Always disconnect air supply:
• Before making adjustments
• Before installing accessories
• When servicing the tool
• When tool is not in use
• When moving to a different work area, as accidental
actuation may occur, possibly causing injury.
