AIR METAL SAW

Set-up

Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this manual including all
text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.

Note:

For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram

near the end of this manual.

Note:

This air tool may be shipped with a protective plug covering the air inlet. Remove this plug before set up.

WARNING!

TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:

Use only clean, dry, regulated,

compressed air to power this tool. Do not use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any
other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.

1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge, oiler, in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for best

service, as shown. An in-line shutoff ball valve is an important safety device because it controls the air
supply even if the air hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a ball valve because it can be closed
quickly.

Note:

If an automatic oiler system is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic/Air Tool Oil before each use into the

airline connection before operation (fig 1). Pump lever a few times to ensure oil runs through tool (fig 2).

2. Attach an air hose to the compressor's air outlet. Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool. Other

components, such as a coupler plug and quick coupler, will make operation more efficient, but are not
required.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Do not install a female

quick coupler on the tool. Such a coupler contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and
operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.

Note:

Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air supply components. The air

hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while
working.

3. Release the throttle.

4. Close the in-line shutoff valve between the compressor and the tool.

5. Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer's directions and allow it to build up pressure until it

cycles off.

6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator so that the air output is enough to properly power the tool, but

the output will not exceed the tool's maximum air pressure at any time. Adjust the pressure gradually, while
checking the air output gauge to set the right pressure range.

7. Inspect the air connections for leaks. Repair any leaks found.

8. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off and detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air

pressure, and release the throttle to prevent accidental operation.
