WORK AREA
1. Keep your work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark areas invite accidents.
2. Operate in a safe work environment. Do not use in damp or wet locations. Do not expose to rain. Do
not use in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. Keep children, bystanders and visitors away from the work area. Distraction can cause you to lose
control. Do not let them handle tools, hoses or extension cords. No one should be in the work area if
they are not wearing suitable protective equipment.
4. Store unused equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to prevent rust.
Always lock up tools and keep them out of reach of children.
PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Use eye, face and ear protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles, which must
provide both frontal and side protection. Protect your hands with suitable gloves. Wear ANSI approved
earplugs.
2. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be
caught in moving parts. Tie back long hair. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid
footwear are recommended when working.
4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any machine or
tool when you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
5. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform.
Holding the work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a
larger industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended.
Do not modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss of control.
3. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and in good condition for a better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings, alignment and hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician or replaced. The handles
must be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly maintained tool reduces the
risk of binding and is easier to control.
5. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the throttle is in neutral or OFF position when not in use and
before connecting it to any air source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
6. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants
may not be suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
7. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid
rust.
8. Maintain the label(s) and name plate(s) on the tool. These carry important information. If unreadable
or missing, contact Princess Auto for a replacement.
