TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended. Do not
modify this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean, sharp and in good condition for a better and safer performance.
Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings, alignment and hoses
periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician or replaced. The handles must
be kept clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly maintained tool reduces the risk of
binding and is easier to control. Sharp tools are safer than tools which have become dull because you do not
have to apply excessive amounts of force to make your cuts. Applying excessive force can lead to slips and
damage to your work or personal injury.
3. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the throttle/ignition switch is in neutral or OFF position when not in
use and before connecting it to any power/air source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
4. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants may
not be suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
5. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
6. Maintain label and name plate on the tool. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Princess Auto for a replacement.

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 this tool is 1/4"
NPT air inlet.
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. See the diagram above
for recommended components of an air line.
7. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
8. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
9. Avoid using an unnecessarily long air hose. Choose a hose that is appropriate for the situation, as a hose
that is too long and running across the floor can be more dangerous than helpful.
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 8 metres). The
hose diameter should be 3/8" l.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).
For any technical questions, please call 1-800-665-8685
* see Lubrication section for details on whether or
not an in-line oiler is appropriate for your needs.
