AIR SUPPLY
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures. 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 tool life
because of faster wear and may create a hazardous condition.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank daily.
Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule.
The recommended hook-up procedure can be viewed in Figure 1.
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 fittings
should have the same inside dimensions.
LUBRICATION...
Lubricate the air motor daily with quality air tool oil. If no air line oiler is used,
run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can be squirted into the tool air
inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the
tool. Overfilling will cause a reduction in the power of the tool.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action.
Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or
restrictions 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 the tool continues erratic
action or low power, disconnect tool from hose and contact your nearest
authorized service center.
WARRANTY
Silver Eagle™ by Matco warrants its air tools for a period of 1 year to the
consumer. We will repair any SE Series air tool covered under this warranty
which proves to be defective in material or workmanship during the warranty
period. In order to have your tool repaired, return the tool to any Silver
Eagle Authorized Warranty Center, freight prepaid. Please include a copy of
your proof of purchase and a brief description of the problem. The tool will
be inspected and if any part or parts are found to be defective in material
or workmanship, the tool will be repaired free of charge and returned to you
freight prepaid.

SE215 3/8" Heavy Duty Impact Wrench
OPERATION
The forward and reverse valve can be used as an air throttle, if there
are no other means of regulating air. Turn the valve knob all the way
to position 4 for maximum power.
The valve can be used to adjust torque to the approximate tightness
of a known fastener.To set the tool to desired torque, select a nut
or screw of known tightness of the same size, thread pitch and
thread condition as those on the job. Turn valve to low position, apply
wrench to nut and gradually increase power (turn valve to admit
more air) until nut moves slightly in the direction it was originally set.
The tool is now set to duplicate that tightness - note valve setting for
future use. When tightening nuts not requiring critical torque values,
run nut up flush and then tighten an additional one-quarter to one-
half turn (slight additional turning is necessary if gaskets are being
clamped). For additional power needed on disassembly work, turn
valve to its fully open position. This impact wrench is rated at 3/8"
USS bolt size. Rating must be down graded for spring U bolts, tie
bolts, long cap screws, double depth nuts, badly rusted conditions
and spring fasteners as they absorb much of the impact power. When
FIG. 1
possible, clamp or wedge the bolt to prevent spring back.
Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil and break rust seal before
removing with impact wrench. If nut does not start to move in three
to five seconds, use a larger size impact wrench. Do not use impact
wrench beyond rated capacity, as this will drastically reduce tool life.
The forward and reverse valve is used to change the rotation of the
tool. When the valve is out, the tool is in a forward or right hand
rotation. When the valve is pushed in, the rotation is reverse or left
hand.
NOTE: Actual torque on a fastener is directly related to joint hardness,
tool speed, condition of socket and the time the tool is allowed to
impact. Use the simplest possible tool-to-socket hook up. Every
connection absorbs energy and reduces power.
This warranty gives you specific rights. You may also have other rights
which vary from state to state.
The foregoing obligation is Matco's sole liability under this or any implied
warranty and under no circumstances shall Matco be liable for any incidental
or consequential damages.
Note: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or
consequential damages so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply
to you.
