SPECIFICATIONS
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressure. It is recommended
that air pressure of these tools measures 90 PSI at the tool while running
free. Higher
pressure and unclean air will shorten the tool’s life because of faster wear
and may create a hazardous condition and void the warranty. Water in the air
line will
cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet lter
screen on at least a weekly schedule. The recommended hookup procedure can be
viewed
in the illustration below. The air inlet, used for connecting air supply, has
standard 1/4” NPT American Thread. 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 ttings should have the same inside dimensions.

Maintenance
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action.
Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or
restriction in
air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper size or poor condition
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 oil and kerosene. If outside
conditions are
in order and tool is out-of-warranty, disconnect tool from hose, disassemble
tool, replace worm or damaged parts, clean, reassemble, and re-lubricate, or
take
tool to any air tool service center. For tools in the warranty period, send
tool direct to Warranty Center.
Lubrication
-
Ensure the airline is shut off and drained of air before removing this tool for service or changing sockets. This will prevent the tool from operating if the throttle is accidentally engaged.
-
An in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation.
-
Regularly check and fill the in-line lubricator with air tool oil. Avoid using excessive amounts of oil.
-
Adjust the in-line lubricator by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust ports and holding the throttle open for approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
-
If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period (overnight, weekend, etc.), generously lubricate the tool through the air inlet. Run the tool for
approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the tool. Store the tool in a clean and dry environment. -
Recommended lubricants: Air tool oil or any other high-grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agents, and an EP (extreme pressure) additive
