codes and regulations.
These tools are rated at 90 psi / 6.2 bar max air pressure for

Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
disconnect tool from air supply when not in use, before

Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when
operating or performing maintenance on this tool.
High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss. Always
use hearing protection when using this tool as recommended
by your employer or OSHA regulation.
Keep away from rotating end of tool. Do not wear jewelry or loose
clothing. Secure long hair. Scalping can occur if hair is not kept
away from tool and accessories. Choking can occur if neckwear

Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See operating
instructions for proper set up.
Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always carefully
check for damaged or loose hoses and fittings before operating
this tool.
Avoid direct contact with accessories during and after use.
Gloves should be worn to reduce the risk of cuts or burns.
Use only sockets and accessories rated for use with Impact
Wrenches which are in good condition. Sockets in poor condition
or hand sockets and accessories can shatter and cause injury.
Never run the tool off of the work. The tool may run too fast and
cause the accessory to be thrown off of the tool.
Serious injury can result from over-torqued or under-torqued fas-
teners. Assemblies requiring a specific torque must be checked
using a torque meter.
"Click" torque wrenches do not check for potentially dangerous
over-torque conditions.
Slipping, tripping, and/or falling while operating air tools can
be a major cause of serious injury or death. Be aware of your
surroundings and any excess hose left on the walking or working
surface.
Pneumatic tools can cause vibration in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions or uncomfortable positions over extended periods of
time may be harmful to your hands and arms. Discontinue use
of tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain occurs. Consult a
physician before resuming use if any of these symptoms occur.
Do not stretch or overreach while using this tool.
If tool appears to malfunction, remove from service
immediately and arrange for repair.
Never use tool if there is any chance of coming into contact with
line electricity.
Use only Sunex certified spare parts for any repair made to tool.
Repairs should only be performed by properly trained persons.
Do not lock, tape or wire the tool valve in the "on/off" position.
Do not allow the exhaust air to come in contact with hot surfaces
or flames.
Avoid inhaling dust or handling debris from the work process,
which can be harmful to your health. Use dust extraction and wear
respiratory protective equipment when working with materials
which produce airborne particles.
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling and
other construction activities contains chemicals known to the State
of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other
masonry products
- Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated lumber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you
do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals:
work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety
equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.
This product may contain one or more chemicals known to the
State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Wash hands thoroughly after handling.
