Operation
The pneumatic screwdriver
must be properly lubricated before operation.
See “Lubrication” section.
Figure 1
1.
Remove protective cap from air inlet (Figure
1). If an in-line oiler is not being used, add 4
or 5 drops of air tool oil (not included) in to
the air inlet.
2. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
IMPORTANT:
Connecting a quick-change
coupling directly to the tool is not
recommended, as vibration may cause the
connection to fail. Instead, add a leader hose
and install any quick-change couplings
farther down the line.
3.
Push chuck collar forward. Insert bit as far as
it will go, and release chuck collar.
4. Use selector switch for rotation direction
(F/R).
5. Gently press trigger. Speed is variable,
determined by pressure against trigger.
6.
Release trigger to stop screwdriver.
7.
Push chuck collar forward to remove bit.
Maintenance
Lubrication
The screwdriver should be lubricated
daily
(or
before each use) with air tool oil through the air
inlet. During continual operation, it should be re-
oiled every 1 to 2 hours. This can be done with an
in-line oiler, or manually. If done manually,
proceed as follows:
1.
Disconnect air hose from tool.
2.
Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into air inlet.
NOTE: Air tool oil not provided; it is available
at most major hardware and tool stores. SAE
#10 oil or sewing machine oil may be used
as a substitute. Do not use detergent oil.
3. Re-connect air. Run screwdriver at low
throttle without load for a few seconds to
distribute the oil throughout tool.
4. When finished operating screwdriver,
disconnect air hose. Wipe off housing with a
dry cloth. Place 4 or 5 drops of air tool oil into
air inlet; re-connect air and run tool for a few
seconds to distribute the oil. Disconnect air.
Storage
Avoid storing the screwdriver in very humid
locations which promotes rusting of internal
mechanisms. Always oil the tool and disconnect
air hose before storage.
Air system requirements
1. Use proper air hose size (refer to tool
specifications). The hose should be just long
enough to serve the working area. Excessive
hose length will cause pressure drop.
2. Make sure air compressor supplies clean,
dry air at correct CFM for the tool.
3.
Set air pressure to 90 psi.
