limitations, as well as the specific potential hazards peculiar to this tool.
2.
WEAR SAFETY GOGGLES
whenever flying particles are present. Caution is the key to safety.
3.
THE WORK AREA

clamped work.
6.
KEEP VISITORS AT A SAFE DISTANCE

9.
DISCONNECT AIR SUPPLY
when changing accessories and when inspecting, servicing, or cleaning tool.
10.
HANDLE TOOL SAFELY
. DO NOT carry tool with a finger on or near the throttle or trigger while tool is connected to air supply. DO NOT
carry tool by the hose. Protect hose from sharp objects and heat.
11.
USE A VISE OR CLAMPS
to hold work whenever possible or necessary.
12.
KEEP TOOLS OPERATING EFFICIENTLY
. Follow instructions for lubrication and maintenance. To ensure proper operation and longer
life, maintain required air pressure with water-free, filtered, and lubricated air supply.
13.
DO NOT OPERATE TOOLS
with housing loose.
14.
REPLACE
worn or damaged parts promptly.
15.
USE 85 PSI
air pressure at the tool inlet.
16.
PROTECT YOURSELF
from noise. Noise levels vary with the work surface.
17.
HOLD TOOLS FIRMLY
before pressing throttle and engaging work.
AIR SUPPLY
AIR PRESSURE:
85 PSI (6 kg/cm
2
) air pressure is recommended for the most efficient performance.
CAUTION:
Never use higher air pressure to
increase the output of the tool. Overloading will drastically shorten the life of all internal parts.
LUBRICATION
FOR AIR MOTOR:
Supply light Turbine Oil properly through Air Inlet or line lubricator before and after every operation. For example, Mobil
Turbine Oil #32, Shell Turbine Oil #32 and/or equivalent.
FOR GEARS AND BEARINGS:
Supply recommended high-quality grease (e.g., Shell Gadus S2 V220 2 and/or equivalents) properly once every
three months and when the tool is overhauled. Over-greasing will cause dull motion or heating.
MAINTENANCE
DRY AND CLEAN AIR:
Drain daily and install filter at or near the take-off point to prevent trouble from foreign matter.
AIR HOSE AND JOINTS:
Use air hose (the shorter, the better), joints, and other fittings of good condition and of proper size to avoid pressure drop.
REGULAR OVERHAUL:
At least once every three months, a regular or periodical overhaul by a competent person is needed for best performance,
trouble-free operation, and maximum tool life.
GENUINE PARTS:
The use of other than genuine AIMCO replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance, and
increased maintenance, and may invalidate all warranties. Use only Uryu’s genuine spare parts for replacement.
ATTENTION
For correct use of tool, tilted setting of the tool on the job causes irregular stop. Apply the tool to the screw at right angle.
EXTERNAL TORQUE ADJUSTMENT (AIR SHUT-OFF)
Set the hand driver through the slot into the key hold on the adjusting gear and turn clockwise to increase torque and anti-clockwise to decrease.
AIMCO is not responsible for customer modification of tools for applications on which AIMCO was not consulted. Repairs should be made only by
an authorized AIMCO Service Center. Contact AIMCO at 1-800-852-1368 for the authorized Service Center in your area.
