AIR SOURCE INSTALLATION
1. Set the air pressure regulator on the air compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the tool's recommended air
pressure. Excess pressure could result in damage to the tool, to your work piece or serious injury.
2. Prepare a standard 1/4" air connector for use with your tool. Wrap the threaded portion of the air connector
with thread tape. Attach it to the tool's air inlet. Tighten securely.
3. Attach a standard quick connector to the air source's hose. Attach the air hose to the tool.
Note :
If you are not using an in-line oiler, add a few drops of air tool oil in the tool's air inlet before use. In the
same manner, add a few drops after every hour of use.
4. Check the air line and its connections for air leaks. Do not use this tool until you have repaired all air leaks.
Note:
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
WARNING ! Never use WD-40 to clean or lubricate your air tool. WD-40 is a solvent that will break down the
internal grease and cause the air tool to seize up.
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, at which point the tool will have 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.
