RL838 2/27/02
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is
recommended that air pressure of these tools measure 90 PSI at the
tool while running free. Higher pressure and unclean air will shorten
the toolʼs 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 2.
The air inlet (Figure 1), 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 1/4" I.D. and
fittings should have the same inside dimensions.

LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
WARRANTY
Other factors outside the tool 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 hose connections of improper size or
poor conditions may reduce air supply. If outside conditions are in order,
disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your nearest Matco authorized
service center.
Lubricate the tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil. If no air
line oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool. The oil can
be squirted into the tool air inlet (A) Figure 1, or into the hose at the
nearest connection to the air supply, then run the tool. A rust inhibitive
oil is acceptable for air tools.
Matco warrants its air tools for a period of 1 year to the consumer. We
will repair any 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 Matco
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, they will be repaired free of charge and the
repaired tool will be 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.
