Be sure to use a proper air compressor with air-powered tools. The
compressor should be able to supply a minimal air delivery of 4 CFM @ 90
PSI to ensure the compressor can run continuously with the tool.

It is recommended that a filter-regulator-lubricator is used and located as close to the tool as
possible.
If a filter-regulator-lubricator is not installed, place up to 6 drops of compressor oil into the NPT
inlet plug before each use.
If a filter-regulator-lubricator is installed, keep the air filter clean. A dirty filter will reduce the air
pressure to the tool, which will cause reduction in power, efficiency, and general performance.
For optimal performance, install a quick coupler in the hose, if applicable.
Verify that all of the connections in the air supply system are sealed in order to prevent air from
leaking.
Read and follow all the safety
instructions at the beginning of this manual. Inspect the air- powered tool prior to each use in
order to:
-Ensure that the proper power source is being used.
-Verify that the tool is in proper working order.
-Verify that the air pressure level (s) are properly set on the air compressor. Do not use the tool if
it is not in proper working order.
Do not use oxygen, CO2 (carbon dioxide) or any other combustible, or bottled gas to power this
tool.
Do not use this tool in the presence of any flammable liquids or gases.
Keep hands and other parts of the body away from the firing head during use. Do not point the
tool towards the operator or other people.

If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time, apply a generous
amount of lubrication before storing.
The tool should be allowed to run for approximately 30 seconds after lubricating, in
order to ensure that the lubrication is uniformly distributed throughout the tool.

•Verify that no part is loose or missing and that no part is stuck or jammed.
•
Disconnect the toolfromthe airsupply, clean, andstoreit ina safe, dry,andchildproof
location,whentoolisnotinuse.
•When temperatures are below freezing, keep tools as warm as possible using any safe,
convenient method.
•Check the air supply for correct size and type of hose connectors. To avoid loss of power or
erratic action, ensure that there is no additional drain on the air line and no moisture or
restriction in the air pipe.
