Air Supply; General Operation - SIOUX A Serie Manuel D'instructions Et Pièces Détachées

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.

AIR SUPPLY

The efficiency of the tool is dependent on the proper supply of clean dry air. The use of a line filter, pressure regulator, and lubricator will ensure
maximum output and life of tools. Before connecting tool, blow out the air line to remove water and dirt that may have accumulated.
HOSE AND HOSE CONNECTIONS
Supply hose should be not less than 3/4" (10 mm) I.D. Extension hoses should be at least 1/2" (13 mm) I.D. Use couplings and fittings with at least 3/8"
(10mm) I.D.
LUBRICATION
Use SIOUX No. 288 air motor oil. An airline lubricator, set to deliver 2 to 4 drops per minute, is recommended. If a lubricator is not used, add .04 oz.
(1.2cc, 12 to 15 drops) of oil into the air inlet twice daily.
Lubricate the gearing after every 100 hours of operation with SIOUX No. 1232A grease.
Every 100 hours grease the thrust bearing in the head. Push in on the arbor or stud puller, and add 2-3 pumps of Sioux 1232A grease through the
fitting. Pushing in on the arbor will allow the grease to flow between the washers and bearing in the head.

GENERAL OPERATION

Start the tool by depressing the trigger.
The direction of spindle rotation is controlled by the reversing button. When the button is depressed, the spindle rotates counterclockwise.
Always depress the button fully to obtain full power.
To Install A Fastener.
Control the tool with the trigger and the reverse button. A few practice cycles will help to become familiar with the operation.
1. Load a fastener.
Thread the fastener head first onto the screw. Be sure the head contacts the nose piece.
2. Upset a fastener.
Place the fastener into a prepared hole. Pull the trigger. The screw will thread into the fastener, causing it to upset.
Proper upset of the fastener depends on the air pressure at the tool. A small fastener will require a lower pressure than a large one. Upset several
fasteners to determine the right air pressure for your fastener size and material thickness.
3. Remove the tool from the fastener.
After the fastener is upset, release the trigger, press the reverse button and pull the trigger. This will cause the tool to reverse and unthread the
screw from the fastener. Make sure the screw is completely unthreaded from the fastener be for removing the tool from the work.
The tool must be held at right angles to the work during the entire upset/removal cycle. Failure to do this will result in excessive
