Adjusting the blade guard (Figure 4):
1. Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.
2. Loosen the screw (U) on top of the tool using the allen wrench
included.
3. Pull out or push in the blade guard (M) to the desired depth required.
Tighten the screw (U). Do not overtighten.
guard can result in serious injury. Always make sure the blade guard
is back in place before operation.
Air Motor Lubrication
To maintain the maximum performance of the air tool, it must be
lubricated each time it is used. Dust, dirt, rust and oil residue will build up inside
the tool and reduce the performance. An in-line oiler is recommended for proper
automatic tool lubrication (see Figure 1). If an in-line oiler is not available, the
tool can be lubricated manually through the inlet port (see Figure 5).
1. Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.
2. Turn the tool upside down and while depressing the trigger, add 4-6 drops
of air tool oil or SAE10 nondetergent oil into the air inlet. NOTE:
Depressing the trigger helps circulate oil in the air motor.
3. Reconnect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a
towel and run for approximately 30 seconds to remove excess oil.
NOTE: If the tool remains sluggish after it has been lubricated, the internal components may need to
be cleaned.
4. Occasionally, apply a light machine oil to the pivot point on the throttle.
To Clean:
Disconnect the air tool from the air supply. Pour or spray a generous amount of WD-40® into the air inlet
with the throttle depressed. Connect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a towel and run for
approximately 30 seconds. Follow the air motor lubrication instructions above after cleaning is completed to re-
lubricate the tool.
Make sure the blade housing is free of dirt and debris.
After oiling or cleaning, cover the exhaust port with a towel and operate the tool for a
few seconds to safely remove the excess oil. Clean the handle and surface of the tool of any oil residue.
Failure to cover the exhaust port and clean the tool, can result in serious injury. Note: Keep the towel
away from moving parts!
SYMPTOM
Tool will not run or runs
slowly
Operating the air body saw without the blade

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

POSSIBLE CAUSE(S)
Grit in tool; tool gummed up
No oil in tool
Low air pressure
Air hose leaks
Pressure drops
CORRECTIVE ACTION
Clean the air motor inside the tool with WD-40®
(see "user maintenance" section).
Add 4-6 drops of air tool oil into the air inlet of the
tool (see "user maintenance" section).
Adjust compressor regulator to 90 PSI.
Tighten and seal hose fittings with Teflon® tape if
leaks are found.
Do not use excessive couplings between hoses.
