OPERATION
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 3, page 12.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will
explode and cause death or serious injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at a maximum regulated pressure of 90 psi. The correct
air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 90 psi may damage
the tool.
The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that allows
all pressure to be released from the tool when the coupling
is disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use a coupling that discharges all the
compressed air in the tool at the time the fitting or
hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling
that does not discharge the compressed air could
cause unintended operation and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying
a tool that is connected to an air hose. Doing so
could result in serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick
connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may be used
in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not available. For
maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in. supply line and fittings
are required.
DIRECTION OF ROTATION SELECTOR
See Figure 1, page 12.
The variable speed direction of rotation selector, located on
the body of the power handle, changes the direction and
speed of rotation of the accessory head.
The selector has three positions: Reverse (R), Off (O) and
Forward (F).
For forward movement, the selector should be positioned
to the right of "O". To select reverse movement, position the
selector to the left of "O".
Moving the selector closer to the R or the F increases the
speed of the accessory head.
Setting the direction of rotation selector in the center at
"O" (Off position) helps reduce the possibility of accidental
starting when not in use.
NOTE: Always read the Operator's Manual for the JobMax
accessory head you plan to use before connecting the tool
to an air supply.
WARNING:
To prevent gear damage, always allow the
accessory head to come to a complete stop before
changing the direction of rotation.
INSTALLING/CHANGING HEADS
See Figure 4, page 12.
 Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
 Place the desired head on the power handle and push
until the latches click into position. Pull on the head to
make sure it is securely installed before proceeding.
NOTE: The head can be installed at 90° angles to best
suit your application needs.
 To remove an accessory head, depress the latches on
both sides of the power handle with one hand while pulling
the head away from the tool with your other hand.
OPERATING THE POWER HANDLE WITH AN
ACCESSORY HEAD
See Figure 5, page 12.
 Install the accessory head for the desired application.
 Connect the tool to the air supply.
 Select "F" or "R" to operate the tool in Forward or
Reverse.
 Press the trigger lock lever forward and depress the
trigger to turn the tool ON.
