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.
Operating Instructions
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.
Inspect tool before use, looking
for damaged, loose, and missing
parts. If any problems are found,
do not use tool until repaired.
Tool Set Up
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM
ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure in the tool,
and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to
its off position before performing any inspection,
maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY:
Do not adjust or tamper with any control or
component in a way not specically explained within
this manual. Improper adjustment can result in tool
failure or other serious hazards.
Work Piece and
Work Area Set Up
1. Designate a work area that is clean and well-lit.
The work area must not allow access by children
or pets to prevent distraction and injury.
2. Route the air hose along a safe route to reach
the work area without creating a tripping hazard
or exposing the air hose to possible damage.
The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.
3. Secure loose workpieces using a vise or clamps
(not included) to prevent movement while working.
4. There must not be hazardous objects (such
as utility lines or foreign objects) nearby that
will present a hazard while working.
Loading Grease Gun

Lubrication
An in-line filter-regulator-lubricator (fig 1) is recommended
as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained
operation. The in-line lubricator should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of
the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of
paper next to the tools exhaust ports and holding the
throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is
properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
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 through
the air inlet (fig 3). 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.
Recommended lubricants: Use air tool oil or any other
high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust
inhibitors, metal wetting agents and an EP (extreme
pressure) additive. (See Fig. 3 for location/air inlet).
