Lubrication
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig4) 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.
IMPORTANT!!!

If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system, air operated tools should be lubricated at least once
a day or after 2 hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on the work environment, directly through the male
fitting in the tool housing.

Loading and operation

 WARNING: Ensure you read, understand and apply safety instructions before use.
1. Connect the tool to the air hose.
2. Press the trigger to operate the tool.
3. The flow of air may be regulated by adjusting flow valve at the base of the handle.
4. Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi 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.
DO NOT use any additional force upon the tool.
DO NOT allow tool to free run for an extended period of time as this will shorten its life.
Turn on the air compressor and allow it to build up pressure once
all of jobs done.Adjust the air compressor‟s regulator or the supply line
