instructions for your air tool
- Read and understand the operating and maintenance instructions before you start work
with air tools.
- Ensure that the tool is switched off before you connect it to the compressed air system.
- Do not wear watches, rings, jewellery or loose clothing when working with air tools.
- Protect yourself and the people around you by taking appropriate precautions against
accidents.
- The maximum working pressure stated on the tools may not be exceeded.
- Air tools may only be connected to a source of compressed air fitted with a pressure reducer,
which allows the correct working pressure to be set.
- Protect the compressed air hose from heat, oil and sharp edges. Always check the hose
for signs of damage before you use the tool.
- Always use a compressor to operate the air tools.
- It is forbidden to operate air tools with a compressed air cylinder.

CONNECTING AIR TOOLS TO A SOURCE OF COMPRESSED AIR

Reduce the pressure using the regulator on your compressor before connecting or disconnecting
air tools. Should it be necessary to disconnect an air tool from the air hose at full pressure be
sure to hold the hose tightly to prevent the danger of injury caused by hose whiplash.
