Air Motor Lubrication (continued)
3.
Reconnect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a towel and run in forward and reverse
directions for approximately 30 seconds to remove excess oil.
NOTE: If the tool remains sluggish after it has been lubricated, the internal components may need to
be cleaned.
To Clean:
Disconnect the air tool from the air supply and pour or spray a generous amount of WD-40® into the air inlet
with the trigger depressed. Connect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a towel and run in
forward and reverse directions for approximately 30 seconds. Follow the air motor lubrication instructions above
after cleaning is completed to re-lubricate the tool.
After oiling or cleaning, cover the exhaust port with a towel and operate the tool for a
few seconds to safely remove the excess oil. Clean the handle and surface of the tool
of any oil residue. Failure to cover the exhaust port and clean the tool, can
result in serious injury. Note: Keep the towel away from moving parts!
Lubricate Impact Mechanism
Periodically, the impact mechanism and the front bearing needs to be
lubricated. (Lubricate 3-4 times a year for general tool usage and more
frequently with heavier tool usage).
1. Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.
2. Remove the allen socket screw from the oil port hole located on the side
of the tool.
3. Add 1 tablespoon of Coleman Powermate® air tool oil #018-0059SP,
or SAE10 nondetergent oil into the oil port hole. Replace the allen
socket screw (see Figure 4).
4. Reconnect the tool to the air supply and run for approximately 30 seconds, rotating the tool sideways and
upside down to lubricate all internal parts.
5. Disconnect the air tool from the air supply and remove the allen socket screw. Hold the oil port hole over a
suitable container to allow excess oil to drain.
6. Repeat the procedure above until the oil comes out clear. Any remaining oil inside the tool will properly
lubricate the tool.
7. Remember to replace the allen socket screw when lubrication is completed.
NOTES:
This lubrication procedure will help reduce moisture, dust and dirt that gradually increases inside the impact
wrench during use and reduces performance levels.
