PLEASE READ AND FOLLOW ALL WARNINGS

Read Operating Instructions

Always become familiar with all the

instructions and warnings before

operating any power tool.

Always Wear Approved

Eye Protection

Impact resistant eye protection

should meet or exceed the

standards as set forth in the United

States ANSI Z87.1, Occupational

and Educational Eye and Face

Protection. Look for the marking

Z87.1 on your eye protection to

insure that it is an approved style.

For further information, ANSI Z87.1,

Occupational and Educational Eye

and Face Protection, is available

from the American National

Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West

42nd Street, New York, NY 10036.

Hearing Protection is

Recommended

Hearing protection should be used

when the noise level exposure

equals or exceeds an 8 hour time-

weighted average sound level of 85

dBA. Process noise, reflective

surfaces, other tools being

operated nearby, all add to the

noise level present in your work

area. If you are unable to determine

your noise level exposure, we

recommend the use of hearing

protection.

Avoid Prolonged Exposure to

Vibration

Tools can vibrate during use.

Prolonged exposure to vibration

very repetitive hand and arm

movements, can cause injury.

Stop using any tool if discomfort,

tingling feeling or pain occurs. You

should consult your physician

before resuming use of the tool.

90 PSIG Maximum

This tool is designed to operate at

Florida Pneumatic

an air pressure of 90 pounds per

square inch gauge pressure (90

PSIG) maximum, at the tool. Use of

higher air pressure can, and may

cause injury. Also, the use of

higher air pressure places the

internal components under loads

and stresses they were not

designed for, causing premature

failure. The air supply should be

clean and dry, preferably

lubricated. For best results, drain

the moisture from your compressor

daily.

WARNING:

Some dust created by power sanding,

sawing, grinding, drilling, and other

construction activities contains chemicals

known to cause cancer, birth defects or

reproductive harm. Some examples of

these chemicals are:

•

Lead from lead-based paints

•

Crystalline silica from bricks, cement

and other masonry products

•

Arsenic and chromium from chemi-

cally treated lumber

Your risk from these exposures varies,

depending on how often you do this type

of work. To reduce your exposure to

these chemicals, work in a well-ventilated

area and work with approved safety

equipment such as those dust masks that

are specially designed to filter out

microscopic particles.
