discussed in this manual cannot
cover all possible conditions and
situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that
common sense and caution are
factors which cannot be built into this
product, but must be supplied by the

2. WARNING: The brass components
of this product contain lead, a
chemical known to the State of
California to cause cancer and birth
defects or other reproductive harm.
(California Health & Safety Code
§ 25249.5, et seq.)
3. Only use with accessories rated to
handle the forces exerted by this tool
during operation. Other accessories
not designed for the forces generated
may break and forcefully launch
pieces.

tool before connecting the air supply.
A loose accessory may detach or
break during operation.

compressor used to power this tool.
6. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow
immediate control over the air supply
in an emergency, even if a hose is
ruptured.
7. Use this tool with both hands only.
Using tools with only one hand can
result in loss of control.

Vibration Precautions
This tool vibrates during use.
Repeated or long-term exposure to
vibration may cause temporary or
permanent physical injury, particularly to
the hands, arms and shoulders. To reduce
the risk of vibration-related injury:
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly
or for an extended period should
first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check-
ups to ensure medical problems are
not being caused or worsened from
use. Pregnant women or people
who have impaired blood circulation
to the hand, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes,
or Raynaud’s Disease should not use
this tool. If you feel any symptoms
related to vibration (such as tingling,
numbness, and white or blue fingers),
seek medical advice as soon as
possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine
reduces the blood supply to the
hands and fingers, increasing the risk
of vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the
vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
5. Include vibration-free periods each
day of work.
6. Grip tool with both hands as lightly
as possible (while still keeping safe
control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as
explained in this manual. If abnormal
vibration occurs, stop immediately.
