INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Air Supply Requirements
1. Supply tool with 90 psig (6.2 bar) of clean, dry air.

sizes shown in the diagram.
Lubrication
1. Use an air line lubricator with SAE #10 oil, adjusted
to two (2) drops per minute. If an air line lubricator
cannot be used, add air motor oil to the inlet once a
day.
Maintenance
1. Disassemble and inspect air motor every three
months if the tool is used every day. Replace
damaged or worn parts.
2. High wear parts are underlined in the parts list.

For Additional Safety Information Consult:
!Your employer, union and/or trade association.
!US Department of Labor (OSHA); www.osha.gov;
Council of the European Communities
europe.osha.eu.int
!“Safety Code for Portable Air Tools” (ANSI B186.1)
available from: www.ansi.org
!“Safety Requirements for Hand-Held Non-Electric Power
Tools” available from: European Committee for
Standardization, www.cenorm.be
Air Supply and Connection Hazards
!Air under pressure can cause severe injury.
!Always shut off air supply, drain hose of air pressure
and disconnect tool from air supply when not in use,
before changing accessories or when making repairs.
!Never direct air at yourself or anyone else.
!Whipping hoses can cause serious injury. Always check
for damaged or loose hoses and fittings.
!Do not use quick disconnect couplings at tool. See
instructions for correct set-up.
!Whenever universal twist couplings are used, lock pins
must be installed.
!Do not exceed maximum air pressure of 90 psi/6.2 bar
or as stated on tool nameplate.
Projectile Hazards
!Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection
when involved with or near the operation, repair or
maintenance of the tool or changing accessories on the
tool.
!Be sure all others in the area are wearing impact-
resistant eye and face protection.
!Even small projectiles can injure eyes and cause
blindness. Operating Hazards
!Always shut off air supply, relieve hose of air pressure
and disconnect tool from air supply when changing
accessories.
!Cutting with these tools will create sharp edges. Wear
gloves to protect hands.
!Avoid direct contact with accessory and work surface
during and after work.
!Cutting edges and saw blades can become hot during
use. Do not touch.
!Never force the tool to cut faster or through heavier
gauge material than rated capacity.
!To prevent damage to the tool and accessory,
accessory must be held firmly against work surface
while cutting. Workplace Hazards
!Slip/Trip/Fall is a major cause of serious injury or death.
Be aware of excess hose left on the walking or work
surface.
!High sound levels can cause permanent hearing loss.
Use hearing protection as recommended by your
employer or OSHA regulation (see 29 CFR part 1910).
!Maintain a balanced body position and secure footing.
!Repetitive work motions, awkward positions and
exposure to vibration can be harmful to hands and

of potential hazards created by your work activity.
!Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, grinding,
drilling and other construction activities contains
chemicals known to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Some examples of these chemicals are:
- Lead from lead based paints
- Crystalline silica bricks and cement and other
masonry products
- And Arsenic and chromium from chemically-treated
rubber
Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on
how often you do this type of work. To reduce your
exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated
area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as
dust masks that are specially designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
