VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused by or worsened from
tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical
symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical
attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip the tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur, stop using this
tool immediately.
8. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it unattended until it has come
to a complete stop. A part that is moving could make the tool jump or grab a surface and pull the tool out of
your control.
SPECIFIC SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
WARNING! Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities,
contain chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm Some examples of these
chemicals are:
• Lead from lead-based paints
• Crystalline silica from bricks and cement or other masonry products
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically 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.

TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended. Do not
modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss of control.
3. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean, sharp and in good condition for a better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings, alignment and hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician or replaced. The handles must
be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly maintained tool reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control. Sharp tools are safer than tools which have become dull because you do not
have to apply excessive amounts of force to make your cuts. Applying excessive force can lead to slips and
damage to your work or personal injury.
4. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or
machine before connecting it. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the
risk of personal injury.
5. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the switch is in neutral or OFF position when not in use and before
connecting it to any air source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
6. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants may not be
suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
7. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
8. Maintain the label and name plate on the tool. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Princess Auto for a replacement.
AIR SOURCE
1. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect tools from air pressure source when not in use, before cleaning, servicing
or changing a piece or accessory. After disconnecting, discharge any residual air pressure.
2. Do not use tools if the trigger switch does not function properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
ON/OFF switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Use proper size and type of air pressure line and fittings. The recommended air line for a tool with a 1/4”
inlet is 3/8” I.D.
4. Always verify prior to using a tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the
rated air-pressure range. Over pressurizing a tool may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the
tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated range as marked
on the tool.
5. Never use pure oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for a tool.
Such gases are capable of causing an explosion and serious injury to persons. Do not use an air source
besides an air compressor to power this tool.
6. Always use an air regulator, an in-line filter and a moisture trap in your compressed air system. These
accessories will increase the tool’s life and keeps the tool in good working condition. See the diagram above
for recommended components of an air line.
7. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
8. Clean air inlet filter weekly.

9. Avoid using too long of an air hose. The longer the hose, the lower the pressure will be at the end of the
hose, to the point that it may not meet the minimum required for the tool. As well, a longer hose can
become a tripping hazard.
10. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
11. Always carry a tool by its handle, never carry the tool by the air hose.
12. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 26 ft). The hose
diameter should be 3/8” l.D.
13. Air tool CFM consumption ratings are based upon a 25% duty cycle. If you require continuous duty, a larger
compressor will be required (eg. 4.0 CFM tool at continuous duty requires 16.0 CFM to function at
maximum torque).
AIR SOURCE INSTALLATION
1. Set the air pressure regulator on the air compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the tool’s recommended air
pressure. Excess pressure could result in damage to the tool, to your work piece or serious injury.
2. Prepare a standard 1/4” air connector for use with your tool. Wrap the threaded portion of the air connector
with thread tape. Attach it to the tool’s air inlet. Tighten securely.
3. Attach a standard quick connector to the air source’s hose. Attach the air hose to the tool.
Note: If you are not using an in-line oiler, add a few drops of air tool oil in the tool’s air inlet before use. In
the same manner, add a few drops after every hour of use.
4. Check the airline and its connections for air leaks. Do not use this tool until you have repaired all air leaks.
Note: Turn off the air compressor, disconnect the air pressure hose and discharge any residual pressure
inside the tool before changing accessories or making any adjustments to the tool. Failure to do so could
result in severe injury, tool or property damage.
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the parts and accessories from the box.
2. Make sure that all items listed in the parts lists are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure the tool was not damaged while shipping.
4. Do not discard the packaging material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated the tool.
WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the tool until the missing parts are replaced. Failure to do so
could result in serious personal injury.
