AIR SOURCE
1. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect tools from air pressure
source when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing a piece or accessory. After disconnecting,
discharge any residual air pressure.
2. Do not use tools if the trigger switch does not function
properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the ON/
OFF switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Use proper size and type of air pressure line and fittings.
The recommended air line for a tool with a 1/4" inlet is
3/8" I.D.
4. Always verify prior to using a tool that the air source has
been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated
air-pressure range. Over pressurizing a tool may cause
bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the tool or
serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated
compressed air at the rated range as marked on the tool.
5. Never use pure oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible
gases or any bottled gas as an air source for a tool. Such gases are capable of causing an explosion and
serious injury to persons. Do not use an air source besides an air compressor to power this tool.
6. Always use an air regulator, an in-line filter and a moisture trap in your compressed air system. These
accessories will increase the tool's life and keeps the tool in good working condition. 7.
daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
8. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
9. Avoid using too long of an air hose. The longer the hose, the lower the pressure will be at the end of the hose,
to the point that it may not meet the minimum required for the tool. As well, a longer hose can become a
tripping hazard.
10. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all connections
are secure.
11. Always carry a tool by its handle, never carry the tool by the air hose.
12. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 26 ft). The hose diameter
should be 3/8" I.D.
13. Air tool CFM consumption ratings are based upon a 25% duty cycle. If you require continuous duty,
a larger compressor will be required (eg. 4.0 CFM tool at continuous duty requires 16.0 CFM to function at
maximum torque).
See the diagram above for recommended components of an air line.
AIR SOURCE INSTALLATION
1. Set the air pressure regulator on the air compressor to 90 PSI. Do not exceed the tool's recommended air
pressure. Excess pressure could result in damage to the tool, to your work piece or serious injury.
2. Prepare a standard 1/4" air connector for use with your tool. Wrap the threaded portion of the air connector
with thread tape. Attach it to the tool's air inlet. Tighten securely.
3. Attach a standard quick connector to the air source's hose. Attach the air hose to the tool.
Note: If you are not using an in-line oiler, add a few drops of air tool oil in the tool's air inlet before use. In the
same manner, add a few drops after every hour of use.
4. Check the air line and its connections for air leaks. Do not use this tool until you have repaired all air leaks.
Note: Turn off the air compressor, disconnect the air pressure hose and discharge any residual pressure inside
the tool before changing accessories or making any adjustments to the tool. Failure to do so could result in
severe injury, tool or property damage.
