LUBRICATION

1. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication, the tool will not work
properly and parts will wear prematurely. Manually dropping a drop or two of air tool oil once a day into the
tool's male connector is better than using an automatic in-line lubricator, which should only be required when
there are multiple users of the same tool.
2. Keep the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked
and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper
next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly
set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
3. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air tools. Do not try to use other types of
lubricants to oil your tools. Using the wrong lubricant will cause premature tool failure and / or loss of power.
Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the
rubber compounds in the tool's O-rings and other rubber parts.
4. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but it is also important not to OVER oil your air tool. Over
oiling can cause premature tool failure. Your tool may not be ruined, but it will begin to experience loss of
power that will continually get worse until it no longer works. The tool then has to be taken apart and cleaned
of excess oil.
5. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal parts during shipping and storage.
We recommend you clean this out to have optimum performance from your new air tool. Add a generous
amount air tool oil in the air inlet then run the tool under no load until exhaust is clear to remove packing
grease. To maintain, add only one or two drops daily.
6. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight,
weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run
for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should
be stored in a clean and dry environment.
WARNING! NEVER use WD-40 to clean or lubricate your air tool. WD-40 is a solvent that will
break down the internal grease and cause the air tool to seize up.
VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent
physical injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor
and then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused by or
worsened from tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands,
past hand injuries, nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud's Disease should not use this tool. If you
feel any medical symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek
medical attention as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur, stop using
this tool immediately.
UNPACKING
1. Carefully remove the parts and accessories from the box.
2. Make sure that all items listed in the parts lists are included.
3. Inspect the parts carefully to make sure no breakage or damage occurred during shipping.
4. Do not discard the packaging material until you have carefully inspected and satisfactorily operated
the tool.
WARNING! If any part is missing, do not operate the tool until the missing parts are
replaced. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
