PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Use breathing, ear, eye, face, foot, hand and head protection.
Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles, which must provide both frontal and side protection.
Protect your hands with suitable gloves. Wear a full face shield if your work creates metal filings or wood
chips. Protect your head from falling objects by wearing a hard hat. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or
respirator when working around metal, wood and chemical dusts and mists. Wear ANSI approved earplugs.
Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear
steel toed boots to prevent injury from falling objects.
2. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3. Keep any articles of clothing, jewelry, hair etc. away from moving parts. These can be caught in moving
parts, resulting in damage to the tool and/or serious injury.
4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any machine or tool when
you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
5. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
1. A battery operated tool with integral batteries or a separate battery pack must be recharged only with the
specified charger for the battery. A charger that may be suitable for one type of battery may create a risk of
fire when used with another battery.
2. Use battery operated tool only with specifically designated battery pack. Use of any other batteries may
create a risk of fire.
3. Disconnect power supply. Disconnect from power supply when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing any parts or accessories.
4. Protect yourself against electric shocks when working on electrical equipment. Avoid body contact with
grounded surfaces such as pipes, radiators, cooking stoves and refrigerators. There is an increased chance
of electrical shock if your body is grounded.
5. Double insulated tools are equipped with a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will
fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does
not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install a polarized outlet. Do not change the plug in any way. Double
insulation eliminates the need for a three wire grounded power cord and grounded power supply system.
6. Grounded tools must be plugged into an outlet properly installed and grounded in accordance with all codes
and ordinances. Never remove the grounding prong or modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter
plugs. Check with a qualified electrician if you are in doubt as to whether the outlet is properly grounded. If
the tool should electronically malfunction or break down, grounding provides a low resistance path to carry
electricity away from the user.
7. Do not abuse the cord. Never use the cord to carry the tools or pull the plug from an outlet. Keep cord away
from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. Do not operate this tool if the power cord is frayed or damaged.
Replace damaged cords immediately. Damaged cords increase the risk of electric shock. Do not modify the
plug in any way.
8. When operating a power tool outside, use an outdoor extension cord marked “W-A” or “W”. These cords are
rated for outdoor use and reduce the risk of electric shock. Use in conjunction with a Ground Fault Circuit
Interrupter (GFCI). If operating a power tool in a damp location is unavoidable, the use of a GFCI reduces the
risk of electric shock. It is recommended that the GFCI should have a rated residual current of 30 mA or less.
9. Avoid using an unnecessarily long extension cord. Choose a cord that is appropriate for the situation, as a
cord that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful. Using a cord that is
too long or too thin could damage the tool. Unroll the cord completely to prevent it from overheating.
10. Place the electrical cord in a position that prevents it from coming into contact with the tool and from getting
caught by the work piece. The cord should always stay behind the tool.

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.

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, and in good condition for a better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings and alignment 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. 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 ignition switch is in neutral or OFF position when not in use and
before connecting it to any power 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.

LUBRICATION
1. It is important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly
and parts will wear prematurely. Avoid over-lubricating the tool.
2. Use the proper lubricant to lubricate parts only as necessary. Use only recommended lubricants. Substitutes
may harm the rubber compounds in the tool’s O-rings and other rubber parts.
3. Lubricate before storing. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of
time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool
should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool.
WARNING! NEVER use WD-40 to clean or lubricate your air tool. WD-40 is a solvent that will break down the
internal grease and cause the air tool to seize up.

battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the tool while
pressing the buttons on both sides of the cartridge.
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge
with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all
the way until it locks in place with a little click. If not, it may accidentally
fall out of the tool causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the cartridge
does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.
CHARGING
1. Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage source. The charging light will flash in GREEN colour.
2. Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus (+) and minus (-) terminals on the battery cartridge are on the
same sides as their respective markings on the charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests
on the charger port floor.
3. When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light colour will change from GREEN to RED and
charging will begin. The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging.
4. When the charging light colour changes from RED to GREEN, the charging cycle is complete.
5. If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch
into its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode.
6. After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.
NOTE:
• The battery charger is for charging battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes than the
manufacturer’s batteries.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it may not
accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the
battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging it a couple of times.
• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in a
location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long time, the charging light may flash in RED colour. If this
occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool
faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the battery charger.
• If the charging light flashes alternately from GREEN to RED colour, charging is not possible. The terminals
on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
TRICKLE CHARGE (MAINTENANCE CHARGE)
If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger to prevent spontaneous discharging after full charge, the charger will
switch into its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode and keep the battery cartridge fresh and fully charged.
TIPS FOR MAINTAINING MAXIMUM BATTERY LIFE
1. Charge the battery cartridge before completely discharged. Always stop tool operation and charge the battery
cartridge when you notice less tool power.
2. Never recharge a fully charged battery cartridge. Overcharging shortens the battery service life.
3. Charge the battery cartridge with the room temperature between 10°C and 40°C (50°F and 104°F). Let a hot
battery cartridge cool down before charging it.
4. Charge the Nickel Metal Hydride battery cartridge when you do not use it for more than six months.
CAUTION: Always be sure that the tool is switched OFF and the battery cartridge is removed before carrying out any
work on the tool.
