LUBRICATION
Only use air tool oil to lubricate the tool. Other lubricants may not be suitable
and could damage the tool or cause a malfunction during use.
1. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper
lubrication, the tool will not work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Manually dropping a drop or two of air tool oil once a day into the tool's male
connector is better than using an automatic in-line lubricator, which should
only be required when there are multiple users of the same tool.
2. Apply a few drops of oil to the throttle lever (#13). Work the throttle lever
a few times to distribute the oil.
3. Keep the in-line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. The in-line lubricator
should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of
the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the
exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The
lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
4. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air tools. Do
not try to use other types of lubricants to oil your tools. Using the wrong
lubricant will cause premature tool failure and / or loss of power. Use only
recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications.
Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tool's O-rings and
other rubber parts.
5. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but also is important not to
over-oil your air tool. Over oiling can cause premature tool failure. Your
tool may not be ruined, but it will begin to experience loss of power that
will continually get worse until it no longer works. The tool then has to be
taken apart and cleaned of excess oil.
6. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal parts during
shipping and storage. We recommend that you clean this out to have
