WarranTy

Matco warrants this air tool for a period of 1 year to the consumer.
We will repair any MT Series air tool covered under this warranty which

proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty period.

In order to have your tool repaired, return the tool to either of the Matco

Authorized Warranty Centers listed below, freight prepaid. Please include a

copy of your proof of purchase and a brief description of the problem. The tool

will be inspected and if any part or parts are found to be defective in material

or workmanship, the tool will be repaired free of charge and returned to you

freight prepaid.

This warranty gives you specific rights. You may also have other rights which

vary from state to state.
The foregoing obligation is Matco’s sole liability under this or any implied

warranty and under no circumstances shall Matco be liable for any incidental

or consequential damages.

Note:

Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or

consequential damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply

to you.

air supply

Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended

that air pressure of these tools measures 90 PSI at the tool while running free.

Higher pressure and unclean air will shorten tool life because of faster wear

and may create a hazardous condition.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean

the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule. The recommended

hook-up procedure can be viewed in Figure 1.
The air inlet (Figure 2), used for connecting air supply, has standard 1/4" NPT

American Thread.

Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses

(over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should

have the same inside dimensions.

TrouBleshooTing

Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action.

Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture,

restrictions in air pipes, the use of hose connections of improper size or poor

conditions may reduce air supply. If outside conditions are in order and the

tool still performs erratically, disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your

nearest Matco authorized service center.

luBricaTion & MainTenance

Lubricate the tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil. If no air line oiler is

used, run 1/2 ounce of oil through the tool. The oil can be squirted into the tool

air inlet Figure 2, or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply,

then run the tool. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable for air tools.
