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 3).

Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.

Turn the tool upside down and while depressing the trigger, add 4-6 drops

of Coleman Powermate® air tool oil #018-0059SP or SAE10 nondetergent

oil into the air inlet. NOTE: Depressing the trigger helps circulate the oil in the air motor.

Reconnect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a towel and run in forward and reverse

directions 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.

To Clean:

Disconnect the air tool from the air supply and pour or spray a generous amount of WD-40® into the air inlet

with the trigger depressed. Connect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a towel and run in

forward and reverse directions for approximately 30 seconds. Follow the air motor lubrication instructions above

after cleaning is completed to re-lubricate the tool.

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!
