and filter for best service, as shown
in the diagram above. An in-line
shutoff valve is an important
safety device because it controls
the air supply even if the air hose
is ruptured. (See Fig. 2.)
note: If an automatic oiler system is not
used, add a few drops of Pneumatic
Tool Oil to the airline connection
before operation. Add a few more
drops after each hour of continual
use. Oiling location is engraved into
the bottom of the handle next to the
drill's air inlet.
2.
Attach an air hose to the
compressor's air outlet. Connect
the air hose to the air inlet of the
tool. Other components, such as
a connector and quick coupler, will
make operation more efficient, but
are not required.

OpERAtIOn:
Do not install a female quick
coupler on the tool. Such 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 the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
4.
Make sure the tool's throttle or
switch is in the off position; refer to
Operation section for description of
controls.

5.
Close the in-line safety valve between
the compressor and the tool.
6.
Turn on the air compressor according
to the manufacturer's directions and
allow it to build up pressure until it
cycles off.
7.
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.
8.
Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
9.
If the tool will not be used at this
time, turn off and detach the air
supply, safely discharge any
residual air pressure, and release
the throttle and/or turn the switch to
its off position 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.
