For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate this tool at 90 psig (6.2 bar / 620 kPa)
maximum air pressure at the inlet with 3/8’’ (10mm) inside diameter air supply hose. Adequate air supply volume
is required for full power. Restrictions in the supply and volume will cause a drop in air pressure when the trigger is
pulled resulting in lower power

Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals
known to the State of California 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 and 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
Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn the tool on or off
Accessories and tools get hot during operation. Wear gloves when touching them
