ASSEMBLY & INSTALLATION
Numbered references in parenthesis (#1) refer to the included Parts List.
INSTALL AIR COUPLER PLUG
Prepare a standard 1/4 in. NPT male air coupler plug (sold separately) for use with
your tool.
1. Wrap the external threads of the male coupler plug with sealant tape.
a. Wrap tape in a clockwise direction so it will not unravel.
b. Do not tape all the threads. Leave several leading threads unwrapped for
easier alignment.
2. Screw the coupler plug into the tool's air inlet and tighten with a wrench until snug.
3. Run the compressor at a low volume and check the connection for air leaks. Do
not use the tool until all air leaks are repaired or the faulty component is replaced.
IMPORTANT! Vibration may cause failure if a quick coupler is connected directly
to the air tool. To overcome this, connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick
coupler may then be used to connect the leader hose to the air line hose.
ASSEMBLING THE NEEDLE HOLDER
1. Insert the needles (Fig. 1-4) through the holes of the needle holder (Fig. 1-3).
Each needle’s head should fit snugly into
the holder when inserted through the
correct side.
2. Slide the spring (Fig. 1-2) over the needles.
3. Slide the needle assembly into the needle
tube (Fig. 1-1) until the spring rests against
the front of the tube. Push any wayward
needles down into the holder.

4. Place the needle driver (Fig. 1-5) against the needle holder and align the tab
(Fig. 1-6) with the slot in the needle tube. Push the needle tube onto the main
body (#1) until the tab reaches one of the notches. Rotate the needle tube to lock
the tab into the notch.
OPERATION
PRESSURE DROP
Apply the air consumption and pressure rate numbers to the tool’s air inlet, not the
compressor’s outlet. Calculate the pressure drop for your air supply set-up and
increase the compressor outlet pressure to compensate. Make sure you do not exceed
the maximum pressure for any part of your air supply system.
Installing a pressure gauge at the tool inlet is the best way to measure the air pressure
and adjust the compressor’s output.
TOOL OPERATION
1. Select the amount of force the needles will apply to the workpiece. Each notch
closer to the front reduces the stroke length and force.
2. Grip the tool with both hands. Place one hand on the needle tube (#29) and the
other hand on the main body (#1).
3. Press the lever (#9) to operate. Make sure the needles are not touching any
surface when you turn on the tool.
4. Place the vibrating needles on the work surface at an angle between 60º and
70º. Move the needle scaler around in the area from which you wish to
remove the material.
5. Keep only light pressure on the tool while in use. Do not apply heavy pressure as
it may damage the surface area.
6. Do not hold the needle scaler in any one area of the work surface for more than a
few seconds. Longer intervals could damage the surface.
7. If the needle scaler will not remove the material from the surface after a few short
attempts, do not continue. Use another method to remove the material.
CARE & MAINTENANCE
1. Maintain the tool with care. A tool in good condition is efficient, easier to control
and will have fewer problems.
2. Inspect the tool components periodically. Repair or replace damaged or worn
components. Only use identical replacement parts when servicing.

8843625 Air Needle Scaler V1.0

3. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
4. Only use accessories intended for use with this tool.
5. Keep the tool handles clean, dry and free from oil/grease at all times.
6. Maintain the tool’s labels and name plates. These carry important information. If
unreadable or missing, contact Princess Auto Ltd. for replacements.
WARNING! Only qualified service personnel should repair the tool. An
improperly repaired tool may present a hazard to the user and/or others.
CLEANING
Keep the tool clean. Wipe the tool with a clean cloth and periodically blow out all areas
with compressed air. If compressed air is not available, use a brush to remove dust
from all areas. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents to clean the tool.
AIR TOOL LUBRICATION
NOTICE! Only use air tool oil to lubricate the tool. Other lubricants are not
suitable and will damage the tool or cause a malfunction during use.
NOTICE! Never use a penetrating oil to lubricate an air tool. Penetrating oil
acts as a solvent that will dissolve the tool’s grease packing and may damage
the o-rings, causing the tool to seize or malfunction.
1. All air tools have an internal coating of grease to prevent corrosion during
shipping and storage. Remove this grease by adding a generous amount of air
tool oil in the air inlet and then run the tool under no load until the exhaust is clear.
2. Manually add a drop or two of air tool oil into the tool’s male connector before
each use and after every hour of continuous use. The tool will not work properly
without lubrication and parts will wear prematurely.
3. Avoid adding too much air tool oil as this can cause premature power loss and
eventual tool failure. A qualified technician will need to take the tool apart and
clean out the excess oil.
4. Apply a generous amount of air tool oil to the tool before storing it for an extended
period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.). Run the tool for approximately 30
seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the tool. Store it in a
clean and dry location.
STORAGE
When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts
to avoid rust. Remove the lubricant before using the tool again.
