CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Always remove tool from air supply before performing any maintenance on tool.
An in-line oiler (not included) is recommended to be installed to air supply. It will help
increase tool life and keep the tool properly lubricated. The in-line oiler should be
regularly checked and filled with air tool oil as needed. To check if the in-line oiler is
properly lubricating the tool, place a sheet of paper next to the tool's exhaust ports
while holding the throttle completely open for 30 seconds. The in-line oiler is properly
set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be
avoided. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended
period of time, the tool should receive a generous amount of lubrication right before
being stored. After being well lubricated, the tool should be run for approximately 30
seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should
be stored in a clean and wet dry environment away from the reach of children.
Recommended lubricants: Use air-tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing
moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agent and an EP (extreme pressure)
additive. Consult your local retailer for further assistance in selecting which air tool
oil is best suited for proper lubrication.
STORING
Tool must be well cleaned and lightly lubricated before storing.
Store air tool in a dry safe place, out of the reach of children.

TROUBLESHOOTING

PROBLEM
Tool runs
slowly or will
not operate
POSSIBLE CAUSE
1. Grit or gum in tool.
2. No oil in tool.
3. Low air pressure.
4. Air hose leaks.
5. Pressure drops.

CORRECTIVE ACTION

1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum
solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool.
3. a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to
maximum setting.
b. Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum of 90 PSI.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are
found. Use sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size.
Long hose or tools using large volumes
of air may require a hose with an I.D. of
1/2 in. or larger depending on the total
length of the hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with quick-connect
fittings. This causes additional pressure
drops and reduces the tool power.
Directly connect the hoses together.
