WARRANTY
Silver Eagle™ by Matco warrants its air tools for a period of 1 year
to the consumer. We will repair any SE Series air tool covered under
this warranty which proves to be defective in material or workmanship
during the warranty period. In order to have your tool repaired, return
the tool to any Silver Eagle™ Authorized Warranty Center, freight
prepaid. Please include a copy of your proof of purchase and a brief
description of the problem. The tool will be inspected and if any part or
parts are found to be defective in material or workmanship, the tool will
be repaired free of charge and returned to you freight prepaid.
This warranty gives you specific rights. You may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
The foregoing obligation is Matco’s sole liability under this or any
implied warranty and under no circumstances shall Matco be liable for
any incidental or consequential damages.
Note:
Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental
or consequential damages so the above limitation or exclusion may
not apply to you.
AIR SUPPLY
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is
recommended that air pressure of these tools measures 90 PSI at
the tool while the tool is running freely. Higher pressure and unclean
air will shorten tool life because of faster wear and may create a
hazardous condition.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank
daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule. The
recommended hook-up procedure can be viewed in Figure 1.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard 1/4" NPT
American Thread. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should
be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the same inside dimensions.
OPERATION
Always place a chisel in the hammer and hold the tool down to the
work before operating. Damage to the tool or the retainer may result if
this precaution in not followed.
The chisel retainers are not designed for complete safety against
accidental release of cutters or hammers. To avoid injury, the throttle
must never be depressed unless the chisel is held firmly against the
work place. When tool is not in actual use, the chisel must be removed.
During operation, safety goggles should always be used to guard
against flying rust and chips. When using tool, regulate the speed so
that the chisel is not being driven out of the cylinder. If piston is allowed
to strike the cylinder wall, internal damage will result.
To change chisel, pull back on spring hook and insert chisel. Release
spring hook.
To regulate air, turn air regulator knob out for maximum air pressure
and in for minimum.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality air tool oil. If no air line oiler
is used, run 1/2 ounce of air tool oil through the tool by squirting oil
into the tool's air inlet or into the nearest connection to the air inlet,
reconnecting air supply, and then running tool. Do not use more than
1/2 ounce of oil, as overfilling will reduce the performance of the tool.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Changes in air supply pressure or quality may cause loss of power
or erratic action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the
air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes, or the use of improperly
sized air hoses or connections (or hoses and connections in poor
condition) may reduce air pressure.
Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut power and may be corrected
by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent
oil or an equal mixture of SAE 10 oil and kerosene as detailed in
the LUBRICATION section. If air supply is functioning properly and
cleaning or lubricating tool does not correct performance problems,
disconnect tool from air supply and contact the nearest Silver
Eagle™ authorized service center.
