optimum performance from your new air tool. Use two drops of air tool oil to
lubricate the tool and run the tool under no load until exhaust is clear.
7. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended
period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous
amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for
approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed
throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry
environment.
NOTICE! NEVER use a penetrating oil to lubricate the tool. Penetrating oil may
act as a solvent that can break down the grease and cause the tool to seize up.
STORAGE
When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the
steel parts to avoid rust. Remove the lubricant before using the tool again.
DISPOSAL
Recycle a tool damaged beyond repair at the appropriate facility.
