 Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a quali-
fied technician.
 Compressed air only. Never use combustible gas as a power source.
 Use both hands. The force generated from this tool can cause it to break free of your
grasp, causing serious injury and damage. Always operate this tool with both hands.
Note: Performance of the compressor (if powered by line voltage) may
vary depending on variations in local line voltage. Extension cord usage
may also affect tool performance.
5 AIR SUPPLY
 Ensure air valve (or trigger) is in the “off” position before connecting to the air supply.
 You will require an air pressure of 91psi, and an air flow according to specification.
 WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 91psi while operating
the tool. Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to
excessive wear, and may be dangerous causing damage or personal injury.
 Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
 Clean air inlet filter weekly.
 Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8
meters). The minimum hose diameter should be 3/8 ” I.D. and fittings must have the
same inside dimensions.
 Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make
certain that all connections are secure.
6 LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig 1) as it increases tool
life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to
the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator
is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil
should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time
(overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time.
The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly
distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
 It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator
filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly
and parts will wear prematurely.
 Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow
or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only
recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may
harm the rubber compounds in the tools, O-rings and other rubber parts.
7 IMPORTANT!!!
If no filter/ pressure regulator/ lubricator is installed in the compressed air system, then
pneumatic tools must be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil at least once a day or after
