Note:
If an automatic oiler system is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool
Oil to the airline connection before operation. Add a few more drops after each
hour of continual use.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose to the air
inlet of the tool. Other components, such as a coupler plug and quick coupler,
will make operation more efficient, but are not required.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Do not install a female quick coupler
on the tool.
Such a coupler contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to
retain pressure and operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air
supply components.
3. Turn the tool’s throttle or switch to the off position; refer to Operation section for
description of controls.
4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s directions and
allow it to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor’s output regulator so that the air output is enough to
properly power the tool, but the output will not exceed the tool’s maximum air
pressure at any time. Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the air
output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks. Repair any leaks found.
8. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off and detach the air supply and
safely discharge any residual air pressure to prevent accidental operation.
Note:
Residual air pressure should not be present after the tool is disconnected
from the air supply. However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to discharge
the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting to ensure that the tool is
disconnected and unpowered.
