OPERATION

PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
See Figure 1, page 11.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated
before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool oil
into the air fitting on the tool once daily with minimal use,
or twice a day with heavy use. Only a few drops of oil at a
time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the
tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor
gauge to be sure it is functioning within the proper range of
70-100 psi.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 2, page 11.
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases
as a power source for this tool. The tool will explode and
cause death or serious injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at regulated pressures between 70 and 100 psi . The cor-
rect air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 100 psi may damage
the tool.
The tool must have an air fitting that allows all pressure
to discharge from the tool when the air hose connector is
disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use an air fitting that discharges all the com-
pressed air in the tool at the time the air fitting and air
hose connector is disconnected. Using an air fitting that
does not discharge the compressed air could cause un-
intended operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool
that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result in
serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick
connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may be used
in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not available. For
maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in. supply line and fittings
are required.
