IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING TO A RISK OF FIRE, ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR INJURY TO PERSONS

WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed, including the following:
To reduce the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons, read all the instructions before using the tool.

Work Area

Keep the work area clean and well lighted.
Cluttered benches and dark areas increase the risks of electric shock, fire, and injury to persons.
Keep bystanders, children, and visitors away while operating the tool. Distractions are able to result in the loss of control of the tool.

Personal Safety

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when operating the tool.
Do not use the tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication.
A moment of inattention while operating the tool increases the risk of injury to persons.
Dress properly.
Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry. Contain long hair.
Keep hair, clothing, and gloves away from moving parts. Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair increases the risk of injury to persons as a result of being caught in moving parts.
Do not overreach.
Keep proper footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enable better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
Use safety equipment.
A dust mask, non-skid safety shoes, and a hard hat must be used for the applicable conditions.
Always wear eye protection.
Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

Tool Use and Care

Do not force the tool. Use the correct tool for the application. The correct tool will do the job better and safer at the rate for which the tool is designed.
Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such
preventive safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally.
Store the tool when it is idle out of reach of children and other untrained persons. A tool is dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any other condition that affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, have the tool serviced before using. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained tools.
There is a risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.
Use only accessories that are identified by the manufacturer for the specific tool model. Use of an accessory not intended for use with the specific tool model increases the risk of injury to persons.

Service

Tool service must be performed only by qualified repair personnel.
When servicing a tool, use only identical replacement parts. Use only authorized parts.
Use only the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer.

Air Source

Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 250 psi. Over pressurizing the tool may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated pressure or within the rated pressure range as marked on the tool. Always verify prior to using the tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the rated air-pressure range.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for the tool. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.

Mounting the Reel

Choose a mounting location that is free of electrical wiring or other obstructions, and is sturdy enough to support the weight of the Reel and hose as well as the force used to extend and retract it.
Make a paper template from the Mounting
Plate of the Reel. Mark the center of the bolt holes in the desired mounting location.
Check for hidden wiring, then, drill holes to accommodate 1/2″ bolts (not included).

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 the tool until repaired.

Adjust the Spring Tension

Note: To improve hose longevity, pressurize hose to operating pressure before extending or retracting.

Pull out approximately six feet of Hose and latch the Reel Drum.
Remove the Hose Stopper from the Hose and slide the Hose out of the Roller Guide so the Hose is hanging loose.
a. To increase tension, wrap the loose hose one time around the Reel Drum.
b. To decrease tension, unwrap the hose one time from the drum.
Run the hose back through the guide and reattach the hose stopper. Unlatch Reel Drum.
Pull the Hose out several feet to check the tension.

General Operating Instructions

Note: To improve hose longevity, pressurize hose to operating pressure before extending or retracting.

Check the Wheel operation by slowly pulling the Hose out. You should hear a clicking noise.
To lock the Hose, pull it out a minimum of 1/2 revolution and it will stay locked after the first, second, or third click.
To unlock, slowly pull until the clicking stops, and let it retract until the Hose Stopper hits the Hose Guide.
NOTICE: Hold on to the Hose while it is rewinding, to avoid damage to the Hose Reel.
Attach a flexible coupler (sold separately) to your air compressor hose and apply thread seal tape to the Inlet fitting on the Reel. Connect the coupler to the Inlet fitting.
Connect your air tool to the other end of the Hose using another coupler and thread seal tape.
Follow all instructions from the air tool and compressor for set up and use.
When finished using the hose, disconnect the air tool and retract the hose. Wipe the Hose Reel clean with a dry cloth.
