Initial Tool Setup/Assembly
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT
SAFETY INFORMATION section at the
beginning of this manual including
all text under subheadings therein
before set up or use of this product.
Note: For additional information regarding the
parts listed in the following pages, refer to the
Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
Note: This air tool is shipped with a protective plug
covering the air inlet. Remove this plug before set up.
Air Supply
TO PREVENT EXPLOSION:
Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed
air to power this tool. Do not use oxygen,
carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any
other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.
1. Connect a regulator valve, an in-line shut off valve
and 1/4" NPT air hose (all sold separately) to the
Quick Coupler. Use thread tape on all threaded

connections. The air hose must be long enough
to reach the work area with enough extra length
to allow free movement while working. An in-line
shutoff ball valve is an important safety device
because it controls the air supply even if the air
hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be
a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
See Figure B on page 6 and Figure C on
page 7 for Air Tool Setup procedures.
Note: If an automatic oiler system is not used,
add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil into the
airline connection before operation. Add a few
more drops after each hour of continual use.
2. Attach air hose to compressor's air outlet. Connect
air hose to air inlet. Other components, such
as coupler plug and quick coupler, will make
operation more efficient, but are not required.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION: Do not install a
quick coupler on the tool. A coupler contains an air
valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and
operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can
be hindered by undersized air supply components.
3. The air hose must be long enough to reach
work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
4. Close the in-line safety valve between
the compressor and the tool.
5. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer's directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
6. Adjust the air compressor's output regulator so
that the air output is enough to properly power
the tool, but the output will not exceed the tool's
maximum air pressure at any time. Adjust
the pressure gradually, while checking the air
output gauge to set the right pressure range.
7. The air pressure setting must not exceed job site
regulations/restrictions. The air pressure setting
must not exceed 90 PSI when being used with work
pieces that have a thickness of less than 1-3/4".
8. Inspect the air connections for
leaks. Repair any leaks found.
9. If tool will not be used at this time, turn off and
detach air supply and safely discharge residual
air pressure to prevent accidental operation.
Note: Residual air pressure should not be present
after the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting
to ensure that the tool is disconnected and unpowered.
