Product Safety Information - When Placing the Tool in Service
•
Before beginning a job the operator or their employer must assess all potential risks of using this product to do the job. These risks must be
eliminated or appropriate controls must be implemented to reduce the risk to a safe level.
•
Always use clean, dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar/620 kPa) maximum air pressure at the inlet, unless a higher pressure rating is specified on the
tool. Exceeding the maximum rated pressure (PMAX) shown on the tool may result in hazardous situations including excessive speed,
rupture, or incorrect output torque or force.
•
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off 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-off, to
prevent hose whipping if a hose fails or coupling disconnects.
•
Whipping hoses can cause severe injury. Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and fittings, and check that all fittings are
tight before applying air pressure.
Product Safety Information - When Using the Tool
General Hazards
•
Always use Personal Protective Equipment appropriate to the tool used and material worked. This may include dust mask or other breathing
apparatus, safety glasses, ear plugs, gloves, apron, safety shoes, hard hat and other equipment.

When a secondary handle is supplied, ensure it is properly installed and use two hands to maintain control when operating tool.
•
It is recommended to use a means to absorb the reaction torque above 4 N·m (3 ft-lb) for straight tools, above 10 N·m (7 ft-lb) for pistol-grip
tools, and above 60 N·m (44 ft-lb) for angle tools. Absorb reaction torque with a suspension arm whenever possible. Otherwise, use side
handles for straight- case and pistol-grip tools, and reaction bars for angle tools.
•
Ensure that any suspension arm, side handle or reaction bar is securely fastened to the tool prior to each job and after every 8 hours of use.
Failure to secure may result in injury due to unexpected motion, or dropping of the tool.
Workplace hazards

Slips, trips and falls are major causes of workplace injury. Keep work area clean, uncluttered, ventilated and illuminated. Be aware of slippery
surfaces caused by the use of the tool and also of trip hazards caused by the air line.
