SPECIFICATIONS
Some dust created by power
sanding, sawing, grinding, drilling,
and other construction activities
contains chemicals known to cause
cancer, birth defects or other
reproductive harm. Some examples
of these chemicals are:
• lead from lead-based paints,
• crystalline silica from bricks
and cement and other masonry
products, and
• arsenic and chromium from
chemically-treated lumber.
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 those dust
masks that are specially designed
to filter out microscopic particles.

CAT-316-DA 01/07/04
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air
pressures. It is recommended that air pressure of
these tools measures 90 PSI at the tool while
running free. Higher pressure and unclean air
will shorten tool life because of faster wear and
may create a hazardous condition.
Water in the air line will cause damage to the
tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet
filter screen on at least a weekly schedule. The
recommended hook-up procedure can be viewed
in Figure 1.
The air inlet (Figure 2), used for connecting air
supply, has standard 1/4" NPT American
Thread.
Line pressure should be increased to compensate
for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet).
Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and
fittings should have the same inside dimensions.
AIR SUPPLY
TROUBLESHOOTING
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
WARRANTY
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of
power or erratic action. Reduced compressor
output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture
or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose
connections of improper size or poor conditions
may reduce air supply. If outside conditions are
in order and the tool still runs erratically,
disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your
nearest Cornwell Tools authorized service center.
Lubricate the tool daily with a good grade of air
tool oil. If no air line oiler is used, run a
teaspoon of oil through the tool. The oil can be
squirted into the tool air inlet Figure 2, or into
the hose at the nearest connection to the air
supply, then run the tool. A rust inhibitive oil is
acceptable for air tools.
Cornwell Tools warrants its air tools for a period
of 1 year to the consumer. We will repair any air
tool covered under this warranty which proves to
be defective in material or workmanship during
the warranty period. In order to have your tool
repaired, return the tool to any Cornwell Tools
Authorized Warranty Center, freight prepaid.
Please include a copy of your proof of purchase
and a brief description of the problem. The tool
will be inspected and if any part or parts are
found to be defective in material or
workmanship, they will be repaired free of
charge and the repaired tool will be returned to
you freight prepaid.
This warranty gives you specific rights. You may
also have other rights which vary from state to
state.
The foregoing obligation is Cornwell Tools' sole
liability under this or any implied warranty and
under no circumstances shall Cornwell Tools be
liable for any incidental or consequential
damages.
Note: Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages
so the above limitation or exclusion may not
apply to you.
