Instruction Manual

POWER SOURCE

This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry, compressed air at regulated pressures between 80 and 150 PSI (Pounds per Square Inch)(5.5 to 10.3 BAR). The preferred system would include a filter, a pressure regulator, and an automatic oiler located as close to the tool as possible, within 15 ft/4.6 m is ideal. The tool is equipped with a 3/8" male quick connector.

All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminates that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. An air line filter will remove most of these contaminates and significantly prolong the life of the tool. If an in-line oiler is not available: place five or six drops of Air Tool Oil into the tool’s air inlet at the beginning of each workday.
