WARNING!
Turn off the air compressor, disconnect the air pressure hose and discharge any residual
pressure inside the tool before changing accessories or making any adjustments to the tool. Failure to do
so could result in severe injury, tool or property damage.
LUBRICATION
1. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal parts during shipping and
storage. We recommend you clean this out to have optimum performance from your new air
tool. Add a generous amount of air tool oil in the air inlet, and then run the tool under no load
until exhaust is clear to remove packing grease. For future maintenance, add only one or two
drops of oil daily.
2. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication, the tool
will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely. Manually dropping a drop or two of
air tool oil once a day into the tool’s male connector is better than using an automatic in-line
lubricator, which should only be required when there are multiple users of the same tool.
3. Keep the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. The in-line lubricator should be
regularly checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is
performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle
open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil
collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
4. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air tools. Do not try to use
other types of lubricants to oil your tools. Using the wrong lubricant will cause premature
tool failure and / or loss of power. Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for
pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tool’s O-rings
and other rubber parts.
5. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but it is also important not to over oil your air tool.
Over oiling can cause premature tool failure. Your tool may not be ruined, but it will begin
to experience loss of power that will continually get worse until it no longer works. The tool
then has to be taken apart and cleaned of excess oil.
6. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time
(overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that
time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly
distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
NOTICE! NEVER use a penetrating oil to lubricate the tool. Penetrating oil may act as a solvent
that will break down the grease and cause the tool to seize up.
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the parts and accessories from the box.
2. Make sure that all items listed in the parts lists are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during shipping.
4. Do not discard the packaging material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily
operated the tool.
WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the tool until the missing parts are replaced.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
