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.

on this tool. Failure to do so could
result in injury.
Whip hoses can cause serious inju-
ry. Always check for damaged,
frayed or loose hoses and fittings,
and replace immediately. Do not
use quick detach couplings at tool. See instruc-
tions for correct set-up.
• Air powered tools can vibrate in use. Vibra-
tion, repetitive motions or uncomfortable posi-
tions over extended periods of time may be
harmful to your hands and arms. Discontinue
use of tool if discomfort, tingling feeling or pain
occurs. Seek medical advice before resuming
use.
• Place the tool on the work
before starting the tool.
• Slipping, tripping and/or falling
while operating air tools can be a major cause
of serious injury or death. Be aware of excess
hose left on the walking or work surface.
• Keep body working stance balanced and firm.
Do not overreach when operating the tool.
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in
motion during start up and operation of any
power tool.
• Do not carry tool by the hose. Protect the hose
from sharp objects and heat.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or vola-
tile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
• Don't force tool beyond its rated capacity.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace damaged
labels.

INFORMATION Before Operat-
ing THIS Tool.
• Always operate, inspect and maintain this
tool in accordance with American Nation-
al Standards
Institute Safety Code of Portable Air Tools
(ANSI B186.1) and any other applicable
safety codes and regulations.
• For safety, top performance and maximum
durability of parts, operate this tool at 90
psig 6.2 bar max air pressure with 3/8"
diameter air supply hose.
• Always wear impact-resistant
eye and face protection when oper-
ating or performing maintenance
on this tool. Always wear hearing
protection when using this tool.
• High sound levels can cause
permanent hearing loss. Use hear-
ing protection as recommended
by your employer or OSHA reg-
ulation.

Air Supply…
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures.
It is recommended that air pressure of these tools measure
90 PSI at the tool while running free. Higher pressure and
unclean air will shorten the tool’s life because of faster wear
and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
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 hookup procedure can
be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard
1/4" NPT. 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 and be tightly secured.
Lubrication…
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, or into the
hose at the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the
tool. Overfilling will cause a reduction in the power of the
tool. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable for air tools.
Nipple
TroubleShooting…
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of
power or erratic action. Reduced compressor output,
excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restric-
tions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of
improper size or poor conditions may reduce air
supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut
power and may be corrected by cleaning the air
strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent
oil or an equal mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene.
If outside conditions are in order, disconnect tool
from hose, and take tool to your nearest authorized
service center.
