• Never point tool at yourself or others in work
area. Serious injury or death may occur if the tool
is activated. (Fig. 3)
• Never use oxygen or other bottled gasses.
Explosion will occur. Never use combustible
gases or any other reactive gas as a power
source for this tool: explosion and serious
personal injury will result. (Fig. 4)
• Wear ear protection to safe-guard against
possible hearing loss. Ear protection equipment
must conform to ANSI S3.19 requirements. (Fig. 5)
• Use clean, dry, regulated, com-pressed air at
70 to 120 PSI, (4.8 to 8.3 BAR). (Fig. 6)
• Do not connect tool to pressure which
potentially exceeds 200 PSI (13.7 BAR).
• All air line components (hoses, connectors,
filters, regulators, etc.) must be rated for a
maximum working pressure of at least 150 PSI
(10.3 BAR) or 150% of the maximum system
pressure, which ever is greater.
• Connect tool to air supply hose with a coupling
that automatically removes all pressure from the
tool when the coupling is disconnected. (Fig. 7).
• Disconnect tool from air supply hose before
doing tool maintenance, clearing a jammed
fastener, leaving work area, moving tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
(Fig. 7)
• Never use a tool that is leaking air, has missing
or damaged parts, or requires repair. Make sure
all screws and caps are securely tightened.
(Fig. 8).
• Never use tool if safety, trigger or springs
are inoperable, missing or damaged. Do not
alter or remove safety, trigger, or springs.
Make daily inspections for free movement of
trigger and safety mechanism. (Fig. 8)
