TESTING THE TOOL
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance . Oil added through the air line
connection will lubricate the internal parts . Use Pneumatic Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or equivalent .
Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
Piston Cushion in the Tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent Tool maintenance . If no airline
lubricator is used, add oil during use into the air fitting on the Tool once or twice a day . Only a few drops
of oil at a time are necessary . Too much oil will only collect inside the Tool and will be noticeable in the
exhaust cycle .
COLD WEATHER CARE
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze
and prevent Tool operation . We recommend the use of WINTER FORMULA air tool lubricant
(NEW-MATIC Winter Formula or equivalent) or permanent anti freeze (ethylene glycol) as a
cold weather lubricant .
CAUTION
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools
operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to O-rings and seals – do not use
these low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.
CAUTION
Do not operate the Tool at high pressure without fasteners
DANGER
Operators and others in work area MUST wear safety glasses with
side shields which conforms to ANSI Z87.1 specifications.
