wrenches before turning the
Compressor on. A wrench or a
key that is left attached to a
rotating part of the machine
may result in personal injury.
5. Do not overreach. Keep
proper footing and balance at
all times. Proper footing and
balance enables better control
of the air tool in unexpected
situations.

Use safety equip-
ment. Always wear ANSI-
approved safety impact
glasses, dust mask/respirator
and hearing protection during
use.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. 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 is
designed.
2. Do not use the Compressor
if the Compressor's Power
Switch does not turn it on or
off. Any tool that cannot be
controlled with its Pressure
Switch is dangerous and must
not be used until repaired.

3. Store idle tools out of
reach of children and other
untrained persons. Tools are
dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.
4. Maintain tools with care.
Properly maintained tools
are less likely to bind and
are easier to control. Do not
use a damaged tool. Tag
damaged tools "Do not use"
until repaired.
5. Check for misalignment or
binding of moving parts,
breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may
affect the tool's operation.
If damaged, have the tool
serviced before using. Many
accidents are caused by
poorly maintained tools.
6. Use only accessories that
are recommended by the
manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may
be suitable for one tool may
become hazardous when
used on another tool.
SERVICE
1. Tool service must be
performed only by qualified
repair personnel. Service or
maintenance performed by
unqualified personnel could
result in a risk of injury.
2. When servicing a tool, use
only identical replacement
parts. Follow instructions in
the "Inspection, Mainte-
nance, And Cleaning"
section of this manual. Use
of unauthorized parts or
