Safety Information (continued)
AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR TOOL SAFETY
1. Risk of Bursting. Do not adjust the regulator to result in output
pressure greater than the marked maximum pressure of this air
tool.
2. Ensure the hose is free of obstructions or snags. Entangled or
snarled hoses can cause loss of balance or footing and may
become damaged.
3. Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
4. Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible warning
label.
5. Do not continue to use a tool or hose that leaks air or does not
function properly.
6. Never direct a jet of compressed air toward people or animals.
7. Protect your lungs. Wear a face or dust mask if the operation is
dusty.
WARNING: 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 paint, crystalline silica from bricks
and cement and other masonry products, arsenic and
chromium from chemically-treated lumber.
Your risk from those 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 dust masks that
are specically designed to lter out microscopic particles.
Important Warnings Non-Rotary Percussive Power Tool
1. Accessory Hazards
2. Disconnect the non-rotary percussive power tool from the energy supply before changing the inserted tool or accessory.
3. Use only sizes and types of accessories and consumables that are recommended by the non-rotary percussive power tool
manufacturer; do not use other types of sizes of accessories and consumables.
4. For hammers, where appropriate, never use any chisel as hand struck tool. They are specically designed and heat treated for use only
in non-rotary percussive power tools.
5. For hammers and breakers, where appropriate, never use blunt chisels, as they require excessive pressure and can break from failure.
Blunt tool-pieces can increase vibration and therefore, sharp tools should always be used.
6. Avoid direct contact with the inserted tool during and after use, as it can be hot or sharp.
7. Never adjust the non rotary percussive tool or change the accessory backing pad, unless the air supply and air hose is disconnected
from the tool.
8. Always ensure that you are aware of the direction of the material chips and fragments being created by the tools operation and ensure
that the material chips and fragments are not directed to the operator or other persons in the area.
9. Eye protection, hearing protection, safety gloves and safety aprons must always we worn when operating a non rotary percussive tool.
10. Only personnel trained in the correct methods to change accessories and accessory retainers should conduct these operations.
11. Never operate the non rotary percussive tool unless the accessory retainer supplied by the non rotary percussive tool manufacturer is
correctly tted.

Installation
1 Cleaning the air hose
□A 3/8" air hose is required, with a maximum length of 25 ft.
□Clean the air hose of accumulated dust and moisture
before connecting it to the air supply.
NOTE: If a longer air hose is required, connect a 1/2"
air hose to the 3/8" air hose to ensure the drill has the
necessary air supply.
Recommended Air Line Set-Up
Part Description
AAir Tool
B Quick Plug
C Quick Coupler
D Air Hose
E In-line Regulator
F In-line Lubricator
G In-line Filter
H Air Compressor
Ensure the air line is shut-off and drained of air before removing this tool for service or changing sockets. This will prevent the tool from
operating if the throttle is accidentally engaged.
LUBRICATION
□An in-line lter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation.
□Regularly check and ll the in-line lubricator with air tool oil. Avoid using excessive amounts of oil.
□Adjust the in-line lubricator by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30
seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper.
□If it is necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), generously lubricate the tool through the air
inlet. Run the tool for approximately 30 seconds to ensure the oil is evenly distributed throughout the tool. Store the tool in a clean and
dry environment.
□Recommended lubricants: Air tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting
agents, and an EP (extreme pressure) additive.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solution
The tool runs slowly or will not
operate.
There is grit or gum in the tool. Flush the tool with air tool oil or gum solvent.
The tool is out of oil. Lubricate the tool according to the lubrication
instructions in this manual.
The air pressure is low. □Adjust the regulator on the tool to the
maximum setting.
□Adjust the compressor regulator to the tool’s
maximum setting of 90 psi.
The air hose leaks. Tighten and seal the hose ttings with pipe thread
tape if leaks are found.
The air pressure drops. □Ensure the hose is the proper size. Long
hoses or tools using large volumes of air may
require a hose with an I.D. of ½" or larger
depending on the total length of the hose.
□Do not use a multiple number of hoses
connected together with a quick connect
tting. This causes additional pressure drops
and reduces the tool power. Directly connect
the hoses together.
There is a worn rotor blade in the motor. Replace the rotor blade.
There is a worn ball bearing in the motor. Remove and inspect the bearing for rust, dirt, and
grit. Replace or clean and grease the bearing with
bearing grease.
There is moisture blowing out
of the tool’s exhaust.
There is water in the tank. Drain the tank. (See the air compressor manual
for instructions.) Lubricate the tool and run it until
water is not evident. Lubricate the tool again and
run for 1-2 seconds.
