TROUBLESHOOTING

2 3
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools in damp or wet
locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted. Do not use electrically
powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids. Do not bring combustible
materials near the tools.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them
handle machines, tools, hoses or extension cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry location to inhibit
rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children and other untrained
persons. Switch off all unused electrical tools when stored. Tools are dangerous in the
hands of untrained users.
5. Always wear approved eye protection when using tools. If raising dust, wear a suitable
mask.
6. Do not operate any tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels
on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking
drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate any tool.
7. Be sure air is in OFF position when connecting tool to air supply.
8. Be sure to disconnect tool from air supply before changing accessories, performing
service on tool and when not in use.
9. Follow air source manufacturers' directions for connection of regulators, filters, and
other accessories to air source. Do not install quick couplers directly on tool as they
put unnecessary strain on the air inlet threads possibly causing them to wear out
prematurely. Instead, install them on a short length of air hose attached to the tool.
10. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged
should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its
intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts; any broken parts
or mounting fixtures; and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any
part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
11. Maintenance. For your safety, maintenance should be performed regularly by a
qualified technician using original PERFORMANCE TOOLS® replacement parts.
Failure to do so can lead to accidents for the operator. Use of any other parts will void
the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved
accessories are available from Performance Tool®. Use only accessories that are
recommended by the manufacturer for your model. Accessories that may be suitable
for one tool may become hazardous when used on another tool.

ASSEMBLY / INSTALLATION
This filter, regulator, and lubricator unit comes assembled except for attaching the Pressure
Gauge. You will also need to add oil to the oiler. The instructions below will guide you
through this process.
1. Wrap pipe thread seal tape (not included) around the fitting of the Pressure Gauge.
2. Carefully screw in (clockwise) the Pressure Gauge fitting into the Regulator Body.
Tighten by using a wrench on the square shank by threads. Do not over tighten; stop
turning the Pressure Gauge when it is facing up as shown in front view photo below.
3. Secure the Mounting Bracket to a flat surface using the appropriate hardware (not
supplied).
CAUTION: Make sure there are no pipes, cables or wires behind the wall you intend to drill into.
4. Remove the Oil Fill Screw on top of the Oiler Body, and add air tool oil to the maximum
level. Replace Oil Fill Screw.
5. Wrap incoming air line from compressor with thread seal tape and connect to intake
opening on left side of unit. Repeat for outgoing air line to tool on right side of unit.
WARNING: Be sure flow of air from compressor through Control Unit into tool matches the
arrows indicated on top of the unit.
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
OPERATION
1. Turn on the compressor
and check for air leaks. If
any are found, turn the
compressor off, drain air
from tank, and fix the leak
before use.
2. Fill Oil Bowl with oil as
needed.
3. With the Compressor ON,
gently pull up and turn the
Regulator Knob to adjust
the air pressure as read on
the Gauge. Gently press
the Regulator Knob down
to lock it.
4. Adjust the oil flow by
viewing the Outer Cup and
adjusting the Adjusting
Screw next to it. Adjust
from 0 to 9 for desired
lubrication rate.
1. Check oil level in Oil Body daily.
2. Periodically disassemble the Air Filter and Lubricator assemblies and remove all dirt and
debris. Remove air pressure before cleaning. To remove canisters press down on red
tab and rotate 1/8th turn.
3. Water should automatically drain water from the Filter Body when the system is no
longer under pressure. Attach 1/4" I.D. flexible tubing to the Drain Valve on the bottom of
the filter to properly drain accumulated condensation.
