Operating Instructions • Warning Information • Parts Breakdown
Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures.
It is recommended that air pressure of these tools measure
90 PSI at the tool while running free. Higher pressure (over
90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the rated
capacity of the tool which will shorten the tool’s life because
of faster wear and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
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 hookup procedure
can be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply, has standard
1/4" NPT. 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 and be tightly secured.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the tool daily with a quality air tool oil. If no air
line oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool. The
oil can be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at
the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the tool.
Troubleshooting...
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or
erratic action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain
on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use
of hose connections of improper size or poor conditions may
reduce air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut
power and may be corrected by cleaning the air strainer
and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal
mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene. If outside conditions are
in order, disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your
nearest authorized service center.
Warranty...
Matco warrants its air tools for a period of 1 year to the
consumer. We will repair any 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 any one of the Matco
Authorized Warranty Centers, 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, they will be repaired free of charge and the
repaired tool will be 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.
