federal, etc.).
Always use clean, dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at the inlet. Higher pressure may result in hazardous situations
including excessive speed, rupture, or incorrect output torque or force.
Be sure all hoses and ttings are the correct size and are tightly secured.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut o valve has been installed in the air supply line, and make others aware of its location.
Install a properly sized Safety Air Fuse upstream of hose and use an anti-whip device across any hose coupling without internal shut-o , to
prevent hose whipping if a hose fails or coupling disconnects.
Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and ttings.
Keep clear of whipping air hoses. Shut o the compressed air before approaching a whipping hose.
Always turn o the air supply, bleed the air pressure and disconnect the air supply hose before installing, removing or adjusting any
accessory on this tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool or any accessory.
Do not lubricate tools with ammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel. Use only recommended lubricants.
