INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING
TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic pre-
cautions should always be followed,
including the following:
General
a.
To reduce the risks of electric
shock, fire, and injury to persons,
read all the instructions before us-
ing the tool.
Work area
a.
Keep the work area clean and well
lighted. Cluttered benches and dark
areas increase the risks of electric
shock, fire, and injury to persons.
b.
Do not operate the tool in explo-
sive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. The tool is able to
create sparks resulting in the ignition
of the dust or fumes.
c. Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating the
tool. Distractions are able to result in
the loss of control of the tool.
Personal safety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are do-
ing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the influ-
ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-
tion. A moment of inattention while
operating the tool increases the risk
of injury to persons.
b.
Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons

connecting to the air supply. Do not
carry the tool with your finger on the
