WARNING: Always wear ear protection where the sound level exceeds 85dB(A) and limit the
time of exposure if necessary. If sound levels are uncomfortable, even with ear protection, stop
using the tool immediately and check the ear protection is correctly fitted and provides the correct
level of sound attenuation for the level of sound produced by your tool.
WARNING: User exposure to tool vibration can result in loss of sense of touch, numbness,
tingling and reduced ability to grip. Long term exposure can lead to a chronic condition. If necessary,
limit the length of time exposed to vibration and use anti-vibration gloves. Do not operate the tool
with hands below a normal comfortable temperature, as vibration will have a greater effect. Use the
figures provided in the specification relating to vibration to calculate the duration and frequency
of operating the tool.
WARNING: The vibration emission during actual use of the tool can differ from the declared
total value depending on the ways in which the tool is used. There is the need to identify safety
measures to protect the operator that are based on an estimation of exposure in the actual
conditions of use (taking account of all parts of the operating cycle such as the times when the tool
is switched off and when it is running idle in addition to the trigger time).
The declared vibration total value has been measured in accordance with a standard test method
and may be used for comparing one tool with another. The declared vibration total value may also
be used in a preliminary assessment of exposure.
Sound levels in the specification are determined according to international standards. The figures
represent normal use for the tool in normal working conditions. A poorly maintained, incorrectly
assembled, or misused tool, may produce increased levels of noise and vibration. www.osha.europa.
eu provides information on sound and vibration levels in the workplace that may be useful to
domestic users who use tools for long periods of time.
General Safety Warnings
WARNING: Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in damage to the tool
or serious injury.
Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING: This tool is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced
physical or mental capabilities or lack of experience or knowledge unless they have been given
supervision or instruction concerning use of the tool by a person responsible for their safety.
Children must be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
a) Familiarise yourself with the applications, limitations and hazards of the tool.
b) Keep the product in good working order and condition. Take immediate action to repair or
replace damaged parts.
c) Use recommended parts only. Unapproved parts may be dangerous and will invalidate the
warranty.
d) Use the tool only for its intended purpose.
e) Use appropriate safety equipment including eye protection, respiratory protection and protective
gloves.
f) Injury can occur if loose clothing, jewellery, neckwear, hair or gloves are not kept away from the
tool and its accessories.
g) Keep proper footing and balance at all times. If appropriate secure workpiece in a clamp or vice.
h) Ensure that the tool is disconnected from the air supply before servicing, changing accessories
and when not in use.
i) DO NOT allow smoking or open flames in the work area.
j) DO NOT modify the tool. Modifications can reduce the effectiveness of safety measures and
increase the risks to the user.
k) DO NOT tamper with or adjust safety valves or other safety features.
l) DO NOT use the tool or accessories if they have been damaged. Inspect tools and accessories
before each use. Do not use if damaged or excessively worn.
m) DO NOT use whilst tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medication.
n) Compressed air can cause severe injury.
o) Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Always check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
p) DO NOT direct air flow at yourself, others or animals.
q) DO NOT exceed the maximum air pressure stated on the tool.
r) Never carry an air tool by the hose.
s) Air tools should only be powered by compressed air at the lowest pressure required by the task to
reduce noise and vibration and minimise wear.
t) Hold the tool correctly; be ready to counteract normal or sudden movements such as recoil. Have
both hands available.
u) Never use pure oxygen or combustible gases to power an air tool. Air tools are not designed for
these power sources and their use creates a fire and explosion hazard.
v) Switch off tool if air / power supply is interrupted.
w) Be aware that air tools may become cold during use, affecting grip, control and susceptibility to
vibration-related injury.
IMPORTANT: Even when this tool is used as prescribed it is not possible to eliminate all residual risk
factors. If you are in any doubt as to the safe use of this tool, do not use it.
Work area hazards
a) Be aware of slippery surfaces caused by use of the tool and trip hazards caused by the air line.
Slips, trips and falls are major causes of injury.
b) Where possible do not obstruct thoroughfares and passageways with air lines or cables. Take
appropriate measures to reduce trip risk such as erecting warning signs and fixing cables and air
lines in place.
c) The tool is not intended for use in potentially explosive atmospheres and is not insulated against
contact with electric power.
Air Tyre Inflator Safety Warnings
a) Refer to vehicle manufacturer's instructions before inflation.
b) DO NOT overinflate. Overinflation is dangerous and may pose a risk of tyre damage or explosion.
c) Check tyres for damage and excessive wear before inflation. Damaged tyres are weaker and may
pose a risk of explosion when inflated.
d) DO NOT inflate any tyre that has cracks,'marbling' (black lines), bulging, soft spots or has exposed
steel cord.
e) DO NOT inflate any tyre that may have been run while being significantly underinflated.
Underinflation causes internal damage to the tyre that may not be visible.
f) Be mindful of traffic if inflating a tyre in an area where this may pose a hazard.

Unpacking Your Tool
• Carefully unpack and inspect your tool. Fully familiarise yourself with all its features and
functions.
• Ensure that all parts of the tool are present and in good condition. If any parts are missing or
damaged, have such parts replaced before attempting to use this tool.
Before Use
WARNING: DO NOT overinflate! Always refer to manufacturer's recommended inflation
pressures.
Fitting the quick connector
Note: This tool is supplied with two different male airline quick connectors (Fig. I).
EQ-4 – commonly used in Europe
EN-6 – mainly used in the UK
• Please choose the connector that is compatible with the airline system you are using and install
as outlined below.
1. Apply PTFE tape (not included) to the screw threads of either the UK Coupling (7) or
EU Coupling (8). This will help to maintain an airtight seal.
Note: Apply PTFE tape tightly and in a clockwise direction, so it does not come off when the thread
is screwed into the tool.
