air supply
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is recommended
that air pressure of these tools measures 90 PSI at the tool while running free.
Higher pressure and unclean air will shorten tool life because of faster wear
and may create a hazardous condition.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank
daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule. The
recommended hook-up procedure can be viewed in Figure 1.
The air inlet (Figure 2), used for connecting air supply, has standard 1/4" NPT
American Thread.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually
long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and
fittings should have the same inside dimensions.

Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action.
Reduced compressor output, ex c es s ive drain on the air line, moisture or
restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper size
or poor conditions may reduce air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool
may cut power and may be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing
out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene.
If outside conditions are in order and tool continues to perform erratically,
disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your nearest au t ho r ized service
center.
luBricaTion
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality air tool oil. If no air line oiler is
used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool. The oil can be squirted into the
tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest con n ec t ion to the air supply, then
run the tool. The amount of oil to be used is 1 ounce. Overfilling will cause
a re d uc t ion in the power of the tool. Grease fitting on yoke occasionally to
ensure proper lubrication of the ratchet mechanism.
