Air Source
a.Never connect to an air source that is capable of exceeding 200 psi. Over pressurizing the tool is able to result in 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
b.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.
Do not use any
type of reactive gases, including, but not limited to, oxygen and combustible
gases, as a power source. Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only. Use of a reactive gas instead of compressed air may cause the tool to explode which will cause death or serious personal injury.
Use only a
compressed air source to limit 
the air pressure supplied to
the tool. The regulated pressure must not exceed 100 psi. If the regulator fails, the pressure delivered to the tool must not exceed 200 psi. The tool could explode which will cause death or serious personal injury.

Operating Instructions
Lubrication
This tool requires lubrication before using the tool for the first time and before each use. If an inline oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis.
The work surface can become
damaged by excessive lubrication. Proper lubrication is the owner’s responsibility. Failure to lubricate the tool properly will dramatically shorten the life of the tool and void your warranty.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the tool to add lubricant.
2. Turn the tool so the | OIL |
air inlet is facing up. Place |
|
| |
detergent oil into air inlet. |
|
Do not use detergent |
|
oils, oil additives, or air- tool oils. Air tool oils contain solvents which will damage the tool's internal components.
3. After adding oil, run tool briefly. Wipe off any excess oil from the cap exhaust.
Recommended Hookup
The illustration below shows the recommended hookup for the tool.
1. The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving.
2. An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through the tool. A filter can
be used to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or “gum up” internal parts of the tool.
3.Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Use 1/4 inch air hose for runs up to 50 feet. Use 3/8 inch or greater air hoses for 50 foot run or longer. For better performance, install a 3/8 inch quick plug (1/4 inch NPT threads) with an inside diameter of .315 inch (8mm) on the tool and a 3/8 inch quick coupler on the air hose.
150 psi or greater
4.Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an operating pressure of 0 - 125 psi. A pressure regulator is required to control the operating pressure of the tool between 60 and 100 psi.
