1.  Incorporate an in-line oiler, shut-off 

valve, regulator with pressure gauge, 

and filter for best service, as shown 

in the diagram above. 

 An in-line 

shutoff valve is an important safety 

device because it controls the air 

supply if the air hose is ruptured.

note: 

If an automatic oiler system is 

not

 

used, add a few drops of Pneumatic 

Tool Oil 

dAIlY

 into the tool’s male 

Quick Coupler before operation. 

(See Figure A.)

Attach an air hose to the 

2. 

compressor’s air outlet.  Connect 

the air hose to the air inlet of the 

tool.  Other components, such as 

a connector and quick coupler, will 

make operation more efficient, but 

are not mandatory.

WARnIng!  TO pREVEnT SERIOUS 

InjURY FROM AccIdEnTAl 

OpERATIOn: 

do not install a female quick 

coupler on the tool.

  Such a coupler 

contains an air valve that will allow 

the air tool to retain pressure and 

operate accidentally after the air 

supply is disconnected.

note: 

Air flow, and therefore tool 

performance, can be hindered by 

undersized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough 

3. 

to reach the work area with enough 

extra length to allow free movement 

while working.
Make sure the tool’s Trigger (3) is in 

4. 

the off position; refer to Operation 

section for description of controls.
Close the in-line safety valve between 

5. 

the compressor and the tool.
Turn on the air compressor according 

6. 

to the manufacturer’s directions and 

allow it to build up pressure until it 

cycles off.

Adjust the air compressor’s output 

7. 

regulator so that the air output is 

enough to properly power the tool,
