8) Before Starting
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:
Verify compressor is off before setup. 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. It is recommended a filter, regulator with pressure gauge, oiler,
in-line shut-off valve, and quick coupler be fitted for optimal
operation, as shown on Figure A.
2. An in-line shut-off ball valve is an important safety device,
it will shut-off the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured.
The shut-off valve should be a ball valve because it can be
closed quickly.
Note: If an automatic oiler system is not used, add a 4 to 5 drops of
Kincrome Air Tool Oil to the air inlet before operation.
Add a 1-2 more drops every hour of continual use.
3. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose to the Nitto Style Fitting (10) of the tool. Other
components, such as a quick connect fitting and quick connect coupler, will make operation more efficient, but are not required.
WARNING! Do not install a quick coupler directly on the tool. Couplers contains an air valve that will allow the air tool
to retain pressure and inadvertently operate after the air supply is disconnected.
4. The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area and allow free movement while working. Do not exceed 10 metres.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s directions and allow the tank to build up pressure until it cuts-off.
6. Adjust the air compressor’s regulator so that the air output is at the tools recommended working pressure, the output must not
exceed the tool’s maximum air pressure at any time. Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the air output gauge to set
the optimal pressure range. Do not exceed 90 PSI.
7. Inspect all air connections for leaks. Repair any leaks.
8. If the tool is not being used, turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure, and release the
Trigger (2) and/or turn the tools switch to its off position to prevent inadvertent operation.
