Prepping the Air Tool
WARNING:
Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air
hose with hand when installing or disconnenting to
prevent hose whip.
WARNING:
Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure
causes a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the
manufacturer’s maximum pressure rating for air tools
and accessories. The regulator output pressure must
never exceed the maximum pressure rating.
• Drain water from air compressor tank and condensation
from air lines. (Please refer to air compressor’s
operation manual.)
• Lubricate the tool. (Please refer to the
Maintenance
section in the manual.)
• Connect the air ratchet to air source with the hose of
recommended size.
Operating Procedures
Air Supply (Fig. C)
CAUTION:
This air tool requires lubrication BEFORE
initial use, also before and after each additional use.
WARNING:
Use a clean lubricated air supply that
will give a measured air pressure at the tool of
90 PSI/6.2 bar when the tool is running with the
trigger fully depressed.
Use recommended hose size. It is recommended that the
tool is connected to the air supply as shown in Figure C.
Do not connect the tool to the air line system without
incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut off
valve. The air supply should be lubricated. It is strongly
recommended that an air filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL)
is used as shown in Figure C as this will supply clean,
lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. Details of
such equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If such
equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated by
shutting off the air supply to the tool and then
depressurizing the line by pressing the trigger on the tool.
Disconnect the air line and pour into the air inlet 1 teaspoon
of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil, preferably
incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply
and run tool slowly for a few seconds to allow air to circulate
the oil.
Lubricate tool daily if used frequently, or when it starts to
slow or lose power.
Start-Up (Fig. A, E)
1. Turn on the air compressor and allow the air tank to
be filled.
2. Set the air compressor regulator to 90 PSI (6.2 Bar).
This air tool operates at a maximum of 90 PSI (6.2 Bar)
air pressure.
3. Adjust the forward/reverse switch
5
to either forward
or reverse position.

to start operating
the tool.
Shut-Down (Fig. A)
1. Release the variable speed trigger
2
in order to stop
the tool.
2. When changing sockets, always disconnect air supply
to avoid injury.
3. When job is completed, turn off the air compressor and
store the air tool after lubrication.
Operating Instructions (Fig. A)
1. Securely fit the socket or attachment to the air ratchet.
2. Ensure that the forward/reverse switch
5
is in the
correct position for tightening or loosening the fastener.
3. The nut/bolt can then run down the thread using the
power drive of the tool. For loosening a joint the tool
can be used in the reverse sequence.
