and pusher assemblies. Do not use tool if either assembly
is not functioning properly. NEVER use a tool that has the
contact trip restrained in the up position.
• Check air supply: Ensure air pressure does not exceed
operating limits; 60 to 100 p.s.i.g., (4.1 to 6.9 kg/cm
2
).

Air Fitting (Fig. B, C)
The tool is equipped with a 1/4” (6.4 mm) male quick
connector coupling. A 3/8” (9.5 mm) male quick connector
coupling may be used when a 1/4” (6.4 mm) supply line is
not available.
nOTE:
A 3/8” (9.5 mm) supply line (and fittings) are required
for maximum tool performance.
iMPORTAnT:
Always use
couplings that relieve all pressure from the tool when it
is disconnected from the power supply. Always use hose
connectors that shut off air supply from compressor when
the tool is disconnected.

and tighten firmly.
nOTE:
If a cap is in the air
inlet, remove it prior to inserting the fitting.
3. To install a 3/8” (9.5 mm) fitting: screw the fitting into the
