WARNING:
Always wear eye protection. Eye protection does
not fit all operators in the same way. Make sure the
eye protection chosen has side shields or provides
protection from flying debris both from the front
and sides.
PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
See Figure 2.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated
before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool
lubricant into the air fitting on the tool once daily with minimal
use, or twice a day with heavy use. Only a few drops of oil
at a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside
the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor
gauge to be sure it is functioning within the proper range of
70-120 psi.
ADJUSTING THE EXHAUST
See Figure 3.
The adjustable exhaust on the end cap of the tool allows
the operator to direct the exhaust according to operator
preference.
To adjust, turn the exhaust cap in the desired direction.
