General Safety
Information

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65

You can create dust when you
cut, sand, drill or grind
materials such as wood, paint, metal,
concrete, cement, or other masonry.
This dust often contains chemicals
known to cause cancer, birth defects, or
other reproductive harm. Wear
protective gear.

This product is part of a high pressure
system and the following safety
precautions must be followed at all
times along with any other existing
safety rules.

1. Read all manuals included
with this product care­fully. Be thoroughly
familiar with the controls and the
proper use of the equipment.

2. Only persons well acquainted with
these rules of safe operation should
be allowed to use the air tool.

Do not exceed the

maximum oper­ating pressure of the air tool (90 psi).
This can reduce the life of the tool.

!

CAUTION

!

DANGER

3. Do not exceed any pressure rating
of any component in the system.
Maximum operating pressure of 90
psi is measured at the tool inlet
while the tool is running. The
pressure drop between the
compressor and tool needs to be
compensated for at the compressor.

4. Disconnect the air tool from air
supply before changing tools or
attachments, servicing and during
non-operation.

Safety glasses and ear
protection must be worn
during operation.

5. Do not wear loose fitting clothing,
scarves, neck ties or jewelry when
operating any tool. Loose clothing
or jewelry may become caught in
moving parts and result in serious
personal injury.

6. Do not depress trigger when
connecting the air supply hose.

7. Always use attachments designed
for use with air powered tools. Do
not use damaged or worn
attachments.

8. Never trigger the tool when not
applied to a work object. Attach­ments must be securely attached.
Loose attachments can cause serious
injury.

9. Protect air lines from damage or
puncture.

10. Never point an air tool at oneself or
any other person. Serious injury
could occur.

11. Check air hoses for weak or worn

GUN SET-UP (IN170102AV) FOR AIR
SYSTEM HOOK-UP INSTRUCTIONS.

Use of a whip hose

prevents accidental
triggering of tool when pressurized air
is connected to system.

Using fittings or air hoses which are too
small can create a pressure drop which
will result in a loss of power in tool.

NOTE: Do not install a quick coupler set
between tool and whip hose.

AIR TOOL SETUP

Never carry a tool

by the hose or pull
hose to move tool or a compressor.
Keep hoses away from heat, oil and

Pre-Operation

LUBRICATION

Air tools require lubrication through­out the life of the tool. Proper
lubrication is the owner’s responsibility.
Use Campbell Hausfeld airtool oil (Part
No. ST127000AV) to lubricate, clean
and inhibit rust in one step. Failure to
lubricate and maintain air tool properly
will dramatically shorten the life of the
tool and will void the warranty.

This air tool

requires
lubrication before initial use and
before and after each additional use.

1. Disconnect tool from air supply.

2. Turn cutting tool upside down.

3. While pressing throttle control

lever, pour a teaspoon of Campbell
Hausfeld oil in the air inlet.

Cover exhaust port

with a towel
before applying air pressure. Oil will
discharge through exhaust port during
first few seconds of operation after an
airtool has been lubricated. Failure to
cover exhaust port can result in serious
injury.

4. Release throttle lever and connect

air tool to air supply. Cover exhaust
port with a towel then run air tool
for 20 to 30 seconds. Oil will
discharge from exhaust port when
air pressure is applied. Continue to
run cutting tool until no oil is
discharged. Wipe all residual oil off
of tool before use.
