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.
