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.

THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CONTAINS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION.
READ THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL CAREFULLY
AND UNDERSTAND ALL INFORMATION
BEFORE OPERATING THIS TOOL.
• Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance
with American National 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 operating or performing
maintenance on this tool. Always wear
hearing protection when using this tool.
• High sound levels can cause permanent
hearing loss. Use hearing protection as
recommended by your employer or
OSHA regulation.
• Keep the tool in efficient operating condition.
• Operators and maintenance personnel must be physically
able to handle the bulk, weight and power of this tool.
• Air under pressure can cause severe injury. Never direct air
at yourself or others. Always turn off the air supply, drain
hose of air pressure and detach tool from air
supply before installing, removing or adjusting
any accessory on this tool, or before performing
any maintenance on this tool. Failure to do so
could result in injury. Whip hoses can cause
serious injury. Always check for damaged,
frayed or loose hoses and fittings, and replace
immediately. Do not use quick detach couplings
at tool. See instructions for correct set-up.
• Don’t force tool beyond its rated capacity.
• Air powered tools can vibrate in use. Vibration, repetitive
motions or uncomfortable positions 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.
• Do not carry tool by the hose. Protect the hose from sharp
objects and heat.
• Anticipate and be alert for sudden changes in motion during
start up and operation of any power tool.
• Tool shaft may continue to rotate briefly after throttle is
released. Avoid direct contact with accessories during and
after use. Gloves will reduce the risk of cuts or burns.
• Keep away from rotating end of tool. Do not
wear jewelry or loose clothing. Secure long
hair. Scalping can occur if hair is not kept
away from tool and accessories. Choking can
occur if neckwear is not kept away from tool
and accessories.
• Cutting edges and saw blades can become hot during use.
Do not touch.
• Never force the tool to cut faster or through heavier gauge
material than rated capacity.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such
as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged labels.
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THESE WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY.

Operating Instructions • Warning Information • Parts Breakdown
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 (over
90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the rated
capacity of the tool which 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 quality 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.
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 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 authorized service center.
Warranty...
Matco warrants its air tools for a period of 1 year to the
consumer. We will repair any air tool covered under this
warranty which proves to be defective in material or
workmanship during the warranty period. In order to have
your tool repaired, return the tool to any one of the Matco
Authorized Warranty Centers, freight prepaid. Please
include a copy of your proof of purchase and a brief
description of the problem. The tool will be inspected and if
any part or parts are found to be defective in material or
workmanship, they will be repaired free of charge and the
repaired tool will be returned to you freight prepaid.
This warranty gives you specific rights. You may also have
other rights which vary from state to state.
The foregoing obligation is Matco’s sole liability under this
or any implied warranty and under no circumstances shall
Matco be liable for any incidental or consequential damages.
Note: Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation
of incidental or consequential damages so the above
limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.
