and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of mov-
ing parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that
may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly
repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
14. Repairs should only be carried out by a qualified electrician using original
PERFORMANCE TOOLS® replacement parts. Failure to do so can lead to
accidents for the operator. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only
use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories are
available from Performance Tool
®
. Use only accessories that are recom-
mended by the manufacturer for your
model. Accessories that may be suit-
able for one tool may become hazardous when us
ed on another tool.
15. Do not operate any tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read
warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are
impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate any tool.
16. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified
technician.
WARNING:
Cancer and Reproductive Harm.
WARNING:
The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this
instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may
occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution
are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the
operator. Read and understand all of the instructions provided in the instruction
manual of this product, as well as, any other tool(s) used with this product.
1. Install an air regulator with pressure gauge and an in-line shuto valve in your air
line as near to your tool as possible for best service.
IMPORTANT: An in-line shuto valve is an important safety device because it con-
trols the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured. The shuto valve should be a
ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose to the air
inlet of the tool. Other components, such as a coupler plug and quick coupler,
will make operation more ecient, but are not required.
IMPORTANT:
Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool. Such a coupler
contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
IMPORTANT:
The air hose must have the correct inner diameter for ecient air ow.
Usually an air hose of 3/8" inner diameter is recommended.
