SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:
1. Make sure the socket is properly installed to help prevent accidental release while in use.
2. Disconnect the tool from the air supply before performing maintenance, changing sockets, or
when not in use.
3. Always use the tool a safe distance from other people in the work area.
4. Keep the tool away from your body when it is running. Do not overtighten fasteners.
5. Do not wear loose or ill-fitting clothing; remove watches and rings. Keep proper footing and
balance at all times.
6. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and oiled for the best performance. Follow the
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Wiping or cleaning rags and other
flammable waste materials must be disposed of as per local, state and federal regulations.
LUBRICATION:
Lubricate the tool daily with a high-quality air tool oil. If no airline oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil
through the tool. The oil can be added into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest connection
to the air supply, then run the tool. To properly maintain this tool, grease needs to be applied to the
impact mechanism as needed [Between part numbers #8, #9, #10 & #11 in the parts diagram]. To
grease the air impact mechanism, remove the impact housing socket screws and apply a lithium-
based grease with an NGLI of 2 [Motive-Power White Lithium Grease K-M No. 80-808] on the impact
mechanism.
MAINTENANCE:
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power. Reduced compressor output, excessive draw
on the air line, moisture or restriction in air lines, or the use of hose connections of improper size or
poor condition may reduce the air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may reduce power and may
be corrected by cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with Ultra Guard Extreme Air
Tool Conditioner [K-M No. 80-293 or 80-291] or Power+ Air Tool Conditioner [K-M No. 80-769].
