Initial Tool Set up/Assembly
Read the entire Important
Safety Information section
at the beginning of this
manual including all text under
subheadings therein before set
up or use of this product.
note:
For additional information
regarding the parts listed in the
following pages, refer to the Assembly
Diagram near the end of this manual.
Air Supply
To prevent serious injury
from explosion:
use only clean, dry, regulated,
compressed air to power
this tool. Do not use oxygen,
carbon dioxide, combustible
gases, or any other bottled gas
as a power source for this tool.
1.
This air tool may be shipped with a
protective plug covering the air inlet.
Remove this plug before set up.
2.
Incorporate a filter, regulator with
pressure gauge, oiler, in‑line shutoff
valve, and quick coupler for best
service, as shown on Figure A on
page 9 and Figure B on page 10.
An in-line shutoff ball valve is an
important safety device because
it controls the air supply even
if the air hose is ruptured. The
shutoff valve should be a ball valve
because it can be closed quickly.
note: If an automatic oiler system is not
used, add a few drops of Pneumatic
Tool Oil to the airline connection before
operation. Add a few more drops
after each hour of continual use.

3.
Attach an air hose to the
compressor's air outlet. Connect the air
hose to the air inlet of the tool. Other
components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.
WARnInG! TO PREVEnT
SERIOuS InjuRY
FROm ACCIDEnTAl OPERATIOn:
Do not install a female quick
coupler on the tool. Such a
coupler contains an air valve that will
allow the air tool to retain pressure
and operate accidentally after the
air supply is disconnected.
note: Air flow, and therefore tool
performance, can be hindered by
undersized air supply components.
4.
The air hose must be long
enough to reach the work area
with enough extra length to allow
free movement while working.
5.
Release the Throttle. Close the
in‑line shutoff valve between the
compressor and the tool.
6.
Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow
it to build up pressure until it cycles off.
7.
Adjust the air compressor's output
regulator so that the air output is
enough to properly power the tool,
but the output will not exceed the
tool's maximum air pressure at any
time. Adjust the pressure gradually,
while checking the air output gauge
to set the right pressure range.
8.
Inspect the air connections
for leaks. Repair any leaks found.
9.
If the tool will not be used at this time,
turn off and detach the air supply,
safely discharge any residual air
pressure, and release the throttle
to prevent accidental operation.
