isrecommended.
To lubricate the air motor manually:
1. Disconnectthetool from the airsupply holding it so
the air inlet faces up
2. Hold the trigger down and put 1-2 drops of air tool
oil in the air , use SAE #10 weight oil if air tool oil is
not available. Holding the trigger down helps circu-
late oil in the motor.
3. Connectthe tool to an airsource,cover the exhaust
portwith a towel and run for a few seconds.
*Failure to lubricate the tool at the air inlet will void your
warranty.
