OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION
section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under
subheadings therein before set up
or use of this product.
Inspect tool before use, looking
for damaged, loose, and missing
parts. If any problems are found,
do not use tool until repaired.
Work Piece and Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and
well-lit. The work area must not allow
access by children or pets to prevent
distraction and injury.
2. Route the air hose along a safe route to
reach the work area without creating a
tripping hazard or exposing the air hose
to possible damage. The air hose must
be long enough to reach the work area
with enough extra length to allow free
movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise
or clamps (not included) to prevent
movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous objects
(such as utility lines or foreign objects)
nearby that will present a hazard while
working.
