Note : For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages, refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual. This air tool may be 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. Incorporate an in-line oiler, shut-off valve, hose, regulator with pressure gauge, 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.
   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.

2. Attach an air hose (not included) to the compressor’s air outlet. Attach the Air Nipple (1) to the air inlet and tighten it.

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 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 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

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.
