3) POWER TOOL USE AND CARE
• Before running the tool, check that there is no dangerous interaction with the immediate environment
(explosive gas, flammable or dangerous liquid, unknown piping, electric sheathing or cable, etc).
• Before connecting the tool to the air inlet, check the trigger is not blocked in the on position by an obstacle.
• In the event of blockage, release the trigger and disconnect the tool from the compressed air network.
• Ensure that the unit on which work is being carried out is immobilized.
• Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance with all regulations (local, state, federal and
country), that may apply to hand held/hand operated pneumatic tool.
• For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate this tool at 90 psig maximum air
pressure at the inlet with 3/8’’ inside diameter air supply hose.
• Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air tool.
• Exceeding the maximum pressure of 90 psig (6.2 bar / 620 kPa) will lead to the risk of danger such
as excessive speed, tool wear, breaking parts, higher torque or force that may destroy the tool and its
accessories or the part being worked on.
• Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other
condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use.
Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained power tools.
• Keep cutting tools sharp and clean. Properly maintained cutting tools with sharp cutting edges are less likely
to bind and are easier to control.
• Use rated accessories recommended by Mac Tools only. Inspect accessories before use. Do not use cracked
or damaged accessories. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure
safe operation.
