No-Mar Pad; Connecting Tool To Air Supply - Kobalt KB18 Manual

PREPARATION

NO-mAR PAD

• Check no-mar pad (D) is attached to the workpiece contact (C) prior to use. The no-mar pad helps
prevent marring and denting when working with softer woods. It is subject to wear under normal use
and may need to be replaced from time to time.
WARNING
• Disconnect the tool from the air supply before removing or replacing the no-mar pad (D). Failure to
do so could result in serious personal injury.
1. The no-mar pad (D) can be removed by pulling it away
from the workpiece contact (C).
Note: On-board storage for the no-mar pad (D) is located
on the magazine (E) of the tool. A second no-mar pad (D)
is provided in the on-board storage area.
2. To replace the no-mar pad (D), place it over the
workpiece contact (C) and push to reseat.

CONNECTING TOOL TO AIR SUPPLY

WARNING
• ALWAYS use a coupling that discharges all the compressed air in the tool when coupling is
disconnected. Using a coupling that does not discharge the compressed air could cause unintended
operation and result in serious personal injury.
• DO NOT climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool connected to an air hose. Doing so could
result in serious personal injury.
1. Connect quick-connect swivel connector (K) to air
supply (not included) with a 1/4 in. female quick
connector.
Note: The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling
that allows all pressure to be removed from the tool
when coupling is disconnected.
• This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry
compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and
120 PSI.
The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that will
do the job (See Setting the Air Pressure, page 12).
Note: Air pressure higher than 120 PSI may damage
the tool.
