GETTING STARTED
Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance with all regulations (local, state, federal and country) that may apply to
hand-held / hand-operated pneumatic tools
For maximum performance, the air coupler on the wall should be the next size larger than the air coupler used on the tool. The coupler
closest to the tool should not be smaller than the proper air supply hose size
Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correct size and are tightly secured
Always use clean, dry air at 90 psig maximum air pressure. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an
air tool
Inject the tool every 100-200 cycles with 1-3 grams of grease. Applications vary and grease may need to be applied more in colder
climates/conditions and less in hotter climates/conditions. The grease that should be used should be Petroleum or Synthetic, NLGI
Grade 2, -4/230
adding grease, service is needed to remove the build-up within the clutch housing
The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler connected directly to the air inlet increases tool bulk and decreases tool
maneuverability
The regulator has 3 power positions, position 1 is the lowest and 3 is full power. To set the tool power with the regulator, turn the
dial until the power setting represented by 1, 2 or 3 is under the lever in the forward position as shown in Figure A. When the reverse
setting is selected the tool will operate, in reverse, at full power regardless of the power setting that is chosen. The F on the handle
represents forward and the R represents reverse
The Forward / Reverse Lever must be fully engaged in either the forward or reverse position to ensure the tool works with maximum
performance. If the Forward / Reverse Lever is positioned in the middle (see example below, bottom left picture) between forward and
reverse, the tool will not be as efficient and powerful
Use Hi-Flow air fittings and couplers for maximum tool performance

Always use an air line lubricator with this tool. After every eight
hours of operation, if a lubricator is not used on the compressed
air network, inject 1/2 to 1cm
machine's inlet connection.
