compressor used to power this tool.
4. Use tools with the lowest vibration
when there is a choice.
6. Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow
immediate control over the air supply
in an emergency, even if a hose is
ruptured.
5. Include vibration-free periods each
day of work.
6. Grip tool with both hands as lightly
as possible (while still keeping safe
control of it). Let the tool do the work.
7. Use this tool with both hands only.
Using tools with only one hand can
result in loss of control.
7. To reduce vibration, maintain tool as
explained in this manual. If abnormal
vibration occurs, stop immediately.
