Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pres sures.
It is recommended that air pres sure of these tools mea sure
90 PSI at the tool while running free. Higher pres sure (over
90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the rated
capacity of the tool which will short en the tool's life be cause
of faster wear and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain
the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least
a weekly schedule. The rec om mend ed hookup pro ce dure
can be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for con nect ing air supply, has stan dard
1/4" NPT. Line pressure should be increased to compensate
for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose
diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the
same inside di men sions and be tightly secured.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the tool daily with a quality air tool oil. If no air
line oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the tool. The
oil can be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at
the nearest con nec tion to the air supply, then run the tool.

Troubleshooting...
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or
erratic action. Reduced compressor output, ex ces sive drain
on the air line, moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use
of hose connections of improper size or poor conditions may
reduce air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut
power and may be corrected by cleaning the air strainer
and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal
mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene. If outside conditions are
in order, disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your
nearest au tho rized service center.
