Oil tool before each use. 4 to 5 drops of a good grade Air Tool Oil placed in the
air inlet is sufficient. Use proper air pressure and CFM rating listed for this tool.

Drain water from hoses and compressor tank. Water in the air supply line will
cause gumming and loss of power. Clean the air filter on the supply line and
flush the tool with gum solvent or a 50/50 mix of air tool oil and kerosene. It
may be necessary to disassemble the tool to properly clean and re-lubricate.
AIR SOURCE
Clean air of correct air pressure is recommended for the power supply for this
tool. A maximum of 90 PSI at the tool is recommended for most air tools of this
class. Check specifications section for recommended pressure. (Depending on
length of air hose and other circumstances, air pressure at compressor may need
to be increased to 100 PSI to ensure 90 PSI at the tool.)
Water in the air hose and compressor tank contributes to reduced performance
and damage of the air tool. Drain the air tank and filters before each use and as
necessary to keep the air supply dry.
AIR RATCHET SAFETY
1. This air ratchet is designed to speed productivity, not for high torque
applications such as head bolts, lug nuts, etc. DO NOT USE THIS RATCHET
UNDER POWER TO BREAK FASTENERS LOOSE. Loosen fasteners by
hand without depressing throttle. Once loose, depress throttle to speed
fasteners in or out. Always perform final torque tightening by hand.
2. Use only impact sockets designed for impact wrenches.
3. This ratchet is rated to 1/2" USS bolt size. Rating will decrease for
U-Bolts, Long Cap Screws, Spring Fasteners and rusted or
corroded fasteners. All of these factors absorb power and reduce
torque capability.
4. Always use approved eye and ear protection when using air powered
tools. If raising dust/debris, wear a suitable mask. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry.
5. Always operate tool a safe distance from yourself and others in the work area.
Keep footing and balance at all times.
6. Make sure work piece is secure to allow safe operation of the tool with both
hands. Do not hold the work piece in your hand, lap or against any part of
your body.
7. Make sure trigger is in the “off” position before connecting or disconnecting
the tool from air source. Disconnect tool from air source before changing
accessories, performing service and when not in use.
8. Follow air source manufacturer’s directions for connection of
regulators, filters and other accessories to air source. Do not install
quick couplers directly at tool air inlet. This causes inlet failure due
to excess weight and vibration. Use a whip hose between tool and
quick couplers.
9.
DO NOT OVERLOAD!
Do not force tool. Match tool capacity to work load
requirement. Use tool within its rated capacity and only for its designated
purpose. Overloading air tools will cause premature wear and/or permanent
damage of internal and external drive parts and will void warranty.
10. Inspect hoses and fittings for wear and damage prior to using tool. Do not
carry or drag tool by the air hose. Keep air hose free from obstruction, twisting
and binding.Carry the pneumatic driving tool at the workplace using only the
handle, and never with the trigger actuated.
Take conditions at the workplace into account. Fasteners can penetrate thin work
pieces or slip off corners and edges of workplaces, and thus put people at risk.
For personal safety, use protective equipment such ad hearing and eye protection.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT
direct the adjustable vent hole to the operator or other
person or animals during the use.

Hose length over 25' causes loss in line pressure. Increase hose I.D. or increase
compressor pressure to compensate for the pressure loss. Use an in-line pressure
regulator with gauge if air inlet pressure is critical.
