Air hoses can come loose from power tools and whip.
Inspect and do not use tools with loose or damaged air hoses or fittings.
Whipping air hoses can cause injury.
Air hoses that are not oil resistant or are not rated for the working pressure can burst.
Make sure that all air hoses are oil resistant and rated for the working pressure.
Air hoses that burst can cause injury.
Tools not operated at proper air pressure can operate erratically.
Do not exceed a maximum air pressure of 90 psig/6.2 bar or as stated on the tool’s nameplate or
operating instructions. Use an air regulator to maintain proper air pressure.
Erratic operation in power tools can cause injury.
Improperly repaired tools perform unpredictably.
Repair tools at an Authorized Sioux Service Center.
Tools that perform unpredictably can cause injury.
Tools left connected to the air supply can start unexpectedly.
Always remove tool from air supply and activate trigger to bleed air line before making any adjustments,
changing accessories, or doing any maintenance or service on tool. Make it a habit to check to see that
all adjusting keys and wrenches have been removed from tool before turning it on.
Tools starting unexpectedly and flying keys and wrenches can cause injury.
Working in poorly lit areas makes it hard to see hazards.
Keep work area well lit.
Poorly lit work areas can cause injury.
Children are attracted to work areas.
Keep children away. All visitors must keep a safe distance away from work area.
Children in work areas can be injured.
Unauthorized or untrained personnel can misuse unattended tools.
Store idle tools in a dry, high or locked-up place, out of the reach of children.
Misused tools can cause injury.
Tools with the actuator left in the “ON” position when an unexpected air pressure loss occurs can start
unexpectedly when the air pressure is restored.
Release the actuator if an unexpected loss of air pressure occurs.
Unexpected tool starts can cause injury.
Tools with the actuator left in the “on” position can cause unexpected starts when the tool is connected to the air
supply.
Be sure actuator is off before hooking up air.
Unexpected starts can cause injury.
The use of any accessory with this tool not provided or specified by Sioux Tools can perform unpredictably.
Use only accessories provided or specified by Sioux Tools.
Tools that perform unpredictably can cause injury.
When disposing of a tool, do it in a way that does not harm personnel or the environment.
INTENDED USE
This tool is intended to be used with the appropriate cutter to machine rivets flush with a surface.
GENERAL OPERATION
This tool is equipped with a teasing throttle. By slightly depressing the trigger, the cutter will rotate slowly. This is useful when center-
ing the cutter over the rivet. The tool will run at maximum speed when the trigger is fully depressed.
AIR SUPPLY
The efficiency of the tool is dependent on the proper supply of clean dry air at 90 psig (6.2 bar). The use of a line filter, pressure
regulator, and lubricator will insure maximum output and life of tools. Before connecting tool, blow out the air line to remove water
and dirt which may have accumulated.
HOSE AND HOSE CONNECTIONS
Supply hose should be not less than 3/8" (10 mm) I.D. Extension hoses should be at least 1/2" (13 mm) I.D. Use couplings and fit-
tings with at least 3/8" (10 mm) I.D.
LUBRICATION
For maximum performance and tool life, an air line lubricator, set to deliver 2 drops per minute, is recommended. SIOUX No. 288 Air
Motor Oil is recommended.
If an airline lubrication is not used, it is recommended that the tool be oiled daily before use to improve performance. Add 2-4 drops
of air motor oil and run the tool for 10-20 seconds to distribute oil through the tool.
Lubricate the gears through the grease fitting with Sioux 1232A grease after 100 hours of operation.
MAINTENANCE
Water, dust and other airline contaminants can cause rust and vane sticking. For long periods between tool use, flush the tool with a
few drops of oil and run for 10 seconds. This will help remove contaminants and reduce the formation of rust.
