RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
CAUTION:
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil
circulation through the tool. A filter can be
used to remove liquid and solid impurities
which can rust or gum up internal parts of
the tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a
minimum working pressure rating equal to
or greater than the pressure from the
power source if a regulator fails, or 150
psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air hose
for runs up to 50' and use a 3/8" quick
coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating pressure of
0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is required
to control the operating pressure of the
tool between 60 and 100 psi.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts. Most plastics are susceptible to
damage from various types of commercial
solvents and maybe damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
CLEANING
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below
freezing, the moisture in the air line may
freeze and prevent tool operation. We
recommend the use of air tool lubricant or
permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a
cold weather lubricant.
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.
CAUTION:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, ect., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which may result in serious personal
injury.
!
WARNING:
Do not connect with an air compressor
which can potentially exceed 200 psi. As
tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
