explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.
WARNING TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the throttle

Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
Note:
These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular
opration of the air-operated tool.
• Changing Accessories:
Remove the Cap Screw (1) and Retainer (2) using the Hex Wrench (43). The accesscries can be mounted in
7 different positions at 30° increments. Mount the blades facing forward.
CAUTION:
The Blades are sharp. Use care when handling the Blades.
• Daily-Air Supply Maintenance:
Every day, perform maintenance on the air supply according to the compressor manufacturers instructions.
The lubricator’s oil level needs to be maintained and the moisture filter must be regularly drained. Performing routine
maintenance on the air supply will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.
Before every use, add a few drops of a Air Tool Oil (sold separately) to the Air Inlet (26).
• Quarterly (every 3 months) - Tool Disassembly, Cleaning, and Inspection:
Have the internal mechanism cleaned, inspected, and lubricated by a qualified technician.
