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	running	free.	Higher	pressure	(over	90	psig;	6.2	
bar)	raises	performance	beyond	the	rated	capacity	of	the	tool	which	will	
shorten	tool	life	because	of	faster	wear	and	could	cause	injury.
Always	use	clean,	dry	air.	Dust,	corrosive	fumes	and/or	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	
hookup	procedure	can	be	viewed	in	figure	1.
The	 air	 inlet	 used	 for	 connecting	 air	 supply,	 has	
standard	1/4"	NPT.	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	
and	be	tightly	secured.
Lubrication...
Lubricate	the	cylinder	daily	with	quality	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	or	into	the	hose	at	the	nearest	connection	to	the	air	
supply,	then	run	the	tool.	
Operation...
Make	 sure	 needle	 housing	 is	 tightened	 securely	 on	 cylinder		
before	operating	tool.	
To Change Needles:
Remove	front	retaining	ring	(#19)	and	slide	plunger	(#20),	return	
spring	 (#21)	 and	 needle	 holder	 (#22)	 out	 from	 front	 of	 needle	
housing	(#25).
Remove	old	needles	from	holder	(#22)	and	insert	new	ones.	The	
holes	in	the	needle	holder	are	countersunk;	make	sure	needles	
drop	inside	holder	so	that	top	of	each	needle	is	flush	with	top	of	
holder.
To	regulate	air,	turn	air	regulator	knob	(#18)	out	(counterclockwise)	
for	 maximum	 air	 pressure	 and	 in	 (clockwise)	 for	 minimum	 air	
pressure.
