Lubrication

Air tools require lubrication throughout the life of the tool. The air motor and bearing uses
compressed air to power the tool. Because moisture in compressed air will rust the air
motor, you must lubricate the motor daily. An inline oiler is recommended.

To lubricate the air motor manually:

Disconnect the tool from the air supply holding it so the air inlet faces up.

Depress the throttle control lever and place one to two drops of air
tool oil in the air inlet  Depressing the throttle control lever helps
circulate oil in the motor. 

NOTE

: Use SAE #10 weight oil if air tool oil

is not available.

Connect the tool to an air source, cover the exhaust end with a towel
and run for a few seconds.

Any excess oil in the motor is immediately
expelled from the exhaust port. Always direct

exhaust port away from people or objects.

Failure to lubricate the tool at the air inlet will void your
warranty.
