INITIAL ASSEMBLY

  Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT 

SAFETY INFORMATION 

section at the beginning of this 

manual including all text under 

subheadings therein before set up 

or use of this product.

Note:

  For additional information regarding the 

parts listed in the following pages, refer 

to the Assembly Diagram near the end of 

this manual.

Unpacking

When unpacking, make sure that the 

item is intact and undamaged.  If any parts 

are missing or broken, please call Harbor 

Freight Tools at 1-800-444-3353 as soon as 

possible.

Air Supply

 

TO PREVENT 

EXPLOSION: 

Use only clean, dry, regulated, 

compressed air to power this 

tool.  Do not use oxygen, carbon 

dioxide, combustible gases, or 

any other bottled gas as a power 

source for this tool.

1.  Connect a regulator valve, an in-line shut 

off valve and 1/4” NPT air hose (all sold 

separately) to the Quick Coupler. Use 

thread tape on all threaded connections. 

The air hose must be long enough to 

reach the work area with enough extra 

length to allow free movement while 

working. 

 An in‑line shutoff ball valve 

is an important safety device because 

it controls air supply even if air hose 

is ruptured.  The shutoff valve should 

be a ball valve because it can be 

closed quickly.  See pages 8 and 9 for 

Air Tool Setup procedures.

Note: 

If an automatic oiler system is not 

used, add a few drops of Pneumatic 

Tool Oil into the airline connection before 

operation.  Add a few more drops after 

each hour of continual use.
