IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING
TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic
precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
General
a. To reduce the risks of electric
shock, re, and injury to persons,
read all the instructions before
using the tool.
Work area
a. Keep the work area clean and well
lighted. Cluttered benches and dark
areas increase the risks of electric
shock, re, and injury to persons.
b. Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating the
tool. Distractions are able to result in
the loss of control of the tool.
Personal safety
a. Stay alert. Watch what you are
doing and use common sense
Page 3For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.SKU 33615
when operating the tool. Do not
use the tool while tired or under
the inuence of drugs, alcohol, or
medication. A moment of inattention
while operating the tool increases the
risk of injury to persons.
b. Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons
as a result of being caught in moving
parts.
c. Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance
enables better control of the tool in
unexpected situations.
d. Use safety equipment. A
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must
be used for the applicable
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.
e. Always wear eye
protection. Wear ANSI-
approved safety goggles.
Tool use and care
a. Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which the tool is
designed.
b. Disconnect the tool from the
air source before making
any adjustments, changing
accessories, or storing the tool.
Such preventive safety measures
reduce the risk of starting the tool
unintentionally. Turn off and detach
the air supply, safely discharge any
residual air pressure, and release the
throttle and/or turn the switch to its off
position before leaving the work area.
c. Store the tool when it is idle out
of reach of children and other
untrained persons. A tool is
dangerous in the hands of untrained
users.
d. Maintain the tool with care. Keep
a cutting tool sharp and clean. A
properly maintained tool, with sharp
cutting edges reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control.
e. Check for misalignment or binding
of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition
that affects the tool’s operation.
If damaged, have the tool serviced
before using. Many accidents are
caused by poorly maintained tools.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is
damaged.
f. Use only accessories that are
identied by the manufacturer for
the specic tool model. Use of an
accessory not intended for use with
the specic tool model, increases the
risk of injury to persons.
Service
a. Tool service must be performed
only by qualied repair personnel.
b. When servicing a tool, use only
identical replacement parts. Use
only authorized parts.
c. Use only the lubricants supplied
with the tool or specied by the
manufacturer.

the workpiece.
6. If you are working and the load
becomes off-balance and/or the
jack begins to tip over, DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO CATCH OR LIFT THE
LOAD WHEN FALLING. SERIOUS
PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT!
Page 5For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.SKU 33615
In this event, clear the area as
quickly and safely as possible in
order to avoid injury from the falling
load, including getting hit with ying
fragments.
7. If in doubt about the safety of your
project, we advise you to have
the work done by a professional
familiar with applicable safety
practices.

designed to lift or lower a vehicle.
Suspend the vehicle with an in-oor
hydraulic jack (not included.)
11. The warnings and precautions
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
operator.
12. Obey the manual for the air
compressor used to power this tool.
13. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow
immediate control over the air supply
in an emergency, even if a hose is
