This is an oil-free tool, therefore lubrication is not required.
However, the occasional addition of air tool lubrication into
the air fitting on the tool will not adversely affect performance
or harm the tool.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor gauge
to be sure it is functioning within the proper range of 70-
120 psi.

up at the back to reseat.
On-board storage for the no-mar pad is located on the
