1. Remove plastic air inlet protective cap
from air inlet (F) (See Figure 1).
2. Insert the male plug into the air inlet (F).
Tighten the male plug by turning it
clockwise using a 9/16 in. (14 mm)
wrench (not included) for an air tight
connection. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.
33. Place 2 – 3 drops of air tool oil
(not included) into the opening of the

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS
6. Connect the air supply hose to the male air
plug (See Figure 6), making sure it is
completely seated and secure. Set the
working pressure at 90 PSI for best tool
performance.
5. For a longer reach, mount the socket onto
the end of an extension bar (not provided)
and then push the extension bar onto the
anvil (See Figure 5).
Working pressure is the amount of
air pressure the tool sees when spinning
freely.
NOTE:
4. Select the correct impact socket
(not included) and push it onto the
anvil (B) until it snaps into place
(See Figure 4).
Use only adapters and sockets with a torque
rating equal to or greater than the tool itself.
Always make sure adapters and sockets are
properly mounted and secure before using
the tool. Loose attachments can break or fly
off, causing serious injury to the operator or
bystanders in the work area. Always follow
all manufacturers’ specifications for proper
attachment and use.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
ALWAYS DISCONNECT TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE
PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE TOOL.
Always make sure the tool is properly lubricated during operation. Proper
lubrication is shown in this instruction manual.
An in-line oiler (not included) is recommended to help increase tool life and
keep the tool properly lubricated. The in-line oiler should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil as needed. Proper adjustment of the in-line
oiler can be performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust
ports while holding the throttle completely open for 30 seconds. When a light
stain of oil collects on the paper, the oiler is properly adjusted. Excessive
amounts of oil should be avoided.
Clean the entire tool with a cotton rag and lubricate the tool after each use.
If storing the tool for an extended period, run for approximately
30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool.
Always store tools in a clean, dry environment away from the reach of
children.
Recommended lubricants: air tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil
containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agents and an
EP (Extreme Pressure) additive. Consult your local retailer for further
assistance in selecting air tool oil best suited for proper lubrication.
STORING:
Tool must be well cleaned and lightly lubricated before storing.
Store tool in a dry, safe place out of the reach of children.

14
TROUBLESHOOTING
POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLUTION
Air hose leaks
Replace rotor blade.
Water in compressor tank; drain tank. (See air
compressor manual.)
Oil the tool and run until no water is evident.
Oil the tool again and run 1 – 2 seconds.
Low air pressure
Worn rotor blade
Moisture blowing out of
tool exhaust
Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long hoses
or tools using large volumes of air may require
an internal diameter of 1/2 in. or larger,
depending on total hose length.
Do not use multiple hoses connected together
with quick-connect fittings. This causes additional
loss of pressure and reduces the tool’s power.
Use single hose of the proper length.
Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are found.
Use sealing tape.
If the tool runs slowly or will not operate, check these possible problems and
take the required corrective action:
Grit or gum in tool
No oil in tool
Low air pressure Lubricate the tool.
Adjust the regulator on the tool to the maximum
setting.
Adjust the compressor regulator to tool
maximum of 90 PSI.
NOTE: Air hoses may cause up to 15 PSI loss
in pressure, so you may need to set a higher
compressor output to maintain the required
90 PSI pressure at the tool.
Flush the tool with air tool oil.
