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 con nec tion to the air supply, then run
the tool. Overfilling will cause a re duc tion in the
Troubleshooting...
Air Supply...
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air
pres sures. It is recommended that air pres sure
of these tools mea sure 90 PSI at the tool while
running free. Higher pres sure (over 90 psig; 6.2
bar) raises performance beyond the rated capacity
of the tool which will short en the tool’s life
be cause 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 rec-
om mend ed hookup pro ce dure can be viewed in
the above figure.
The air inlet used for con nect ing air supply, has
stan dard 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 di men sions and be tightly secured.
Other factors outside the tool may cause
loss of power or erratic action. Reduced
compressor output, ex ces sive 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. 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 au tho rized service center.
