federal and country), that may apply to hand
held/hand operated pneumatic tools.
• 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 1/4” (6 mm) inside diameter air supply
hose.

• Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust
and particles created by power tool use:
Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activities contains 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
and other masonry products, and
-- 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.
The use of other than genuine Ingersoll--Rand replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool
performance, and increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warr anties.
Repairs should be made only by authorized trained personnel. Consult your nearest Ingersoll--Rand Authorized
Servicenter.
