Read Operating Instructions
Please become familiar with all the

instructions and warnings before
operating any pneumatic tool.

Always Wear Approved Eye Protection

Impact resistant eye protection should

meet or exceed the standards set forth in
ANSI Z87.1, Occupational and

Educational Eye and Face Protection.

Look for marking Z87.1 on your eye
protection to ensure that it is an approved
style.

Hearing Protection is Recommended

Hearing protection should be used when
the noise level exposure equals or

exceeds an 8 hour time-weighted average
sound level of 85dBA. Process noise,

reflective surfaces, other tools being
operated nearby, all add to the noise level
in a given work area. If you are unable to
determine your noise level exposure, we

recommend the use of hearing protection.

Avoid Prolonged Exposure to Vibration

Pneumatic tools can vibrate during use.

Prolonged exposure to vibration or very
repetitive hand and arm movements can

cause injury. Discontinue the use of any
tool if you experience tingling, numbness,
discomfort or pain in your hands or arms.
You should consult your physician before
resuming use of tool.

pressure of 90 pounds per square inch
gauge pressure (90 PSi) maximum, at the

tool. Use of higher air pressure can, and
may cause injury. Also, the use of higher
air pressure places the internal
components under loads and stresses

they were not designed for, causing
premature tool failure.

California Prop 65

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 specifically designed to filter

out microscopic particles.

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

Do not wear loose fitting clothing,
scarves, or neck ties in work area, Loose

clothing may become caught in moving
parts and result in serious personal injury,

Do not wear jewelry when operating
any tool, Jewelry may become caught in
moving parts and result in serious

personal injury,

Do not depress trigger when connecting
the air supply hose,

Never trigger the tool when not applied
to a work object,

Attachments must be securely
attached, Loose attachments can cause

serious injury,

Protect air lines from damage or
puncture.

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

Check air hoses for weak or worn
conditions before each use, Make sure all
connections are secure,

Release all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service,

relocate or perform any maintenance.

Keep all nuts, bolts and screws tight
and ensure equipment is in safe working

condition,

Use attachments designed for use with

air powered tool. Always examine
accessories before mounting for chips,

cracks, or signs of damage.

Never use mounted points or other
accessories that have been dropped or
exposed to water, solvent or extreme
temperature changes, it is a good practice
to operate the tool in a protected

enclosure for one minute after mounting
any accessory.

Always use accessories with an RPM

rating that meets or exceeds the tool
RPM rating,

Never carry a tool by the hose or pull
the hose to move the tool or a

compressor, Keep hoses away from
heat, oil and sharp edges. Replace any
hose that is damaged, weak or worn,

Inhalation hazard: Abrasive tools, such
as grinders, sanders and cut-off tools
generate dust and abrasive materials
which can be harmful to human lungs
and respiratory system. Always wear

MSHA/NIOSH approved, properly fitting
face mask or respirator when using

such tools,

Some materials such as adhesives and

tar, contain chemicals whose vapors

could cause serious injury with
prolonged exposure. Always work in a

clean, dry, well ventilated area.

Tools which contain moving elements,

or drive other moving tools, such as
grinding wheels, sockets, sanding

discs, etc., can become entangled in
hair, clothing, jewelry and other loose
objects, resulting in severe injury.

Never wear loose fitting apparel which
contains loose straps or ties, that could
become tangled in moving parts of the

tool Remove any jewelry, watches, etc,,
which might become caught by the

tool. Keep hands away from moving

parts, Tie up or cover long hair.

Improperly maintained tools and
accessories can cause serious injury.

Maintain the tool with care. A properly
maintained tool, with sharp cutting
edges, reduces the risk of binding and

is easier to control,

There is a risk of bursting if the tool is
damaged. Check for misallgnment or
binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts and any other condition that

affects the tool's operation, if damaged,
have the tool serviced before using,

Tools which cut, shear, drill, staple,
punch, chisel, etc. are capable of
causing serious injury. Keep the

working part of the tool away from
hands and body.

After an air tool has been lubricated, oil

will discharge through the exhaust port
during the first few seconds of
operation. Thus, the exhaust port must
be covered with a towel before applying

air pressure,

Use Only Impact Sockets & Accessories

Only use sockets designated "FOR USE

WITH IMPACT WRENCHES. "'Hand tool
sockets can break, creating a hazard

from flying pieces. Always check
sockets, retainers and drives regularly

for wear or damage and replace when

necessary.

Air Tool Hook Up

Never carry a tool by the hose or pull the
hose to move the tool or a compressor.

Before the tool is connected to the air
supply, clear the air hose of accumulated
dust and moisture by running air freely

through the air hose for 5-10 seconds,
Air Hoses for your Air Tools

Figure 1 Illustrates a recommended air
hose hook up,

A 3/8 inch ID air hose is required up to a
length of 25 feet, A 3/8 inch ID hose

longer than 25 feet will cause a pressure
drop and may impede performance, If
more length is required, a ½ inch ID air

hose is recommended, Be sure all hoses
and fittings are the correct size and

correctly secured before using the tool,

ENG-6 ENG-7

Keep hoses away from heat, oil and sharp
edges, Replace any hose that is damaged,

weak or worn.

Small (home) shop hard piping:

A piping diagram for a typical home shop

is shown, Some helpful tips are:

Always use hoses and pipes rated for

higher pressure than your system will
encounter.

Never use PVC pipes for
compressed air piping systems as
explosion and serious injury may

result,

The connection from the compressor
to the initial take-off hard pipe must

be a flexible hose in order to isolate
movement of the compressor,

Route the initial take-off line (pipe)

as straight up the shop wall and as
high as possible, This will help

minimize water leaving the
compressor and traveling through
system

Slope the main lines down at least
3/4 inch per 10 feet of pipe away

from air compressor; this will draw
the condensate with the flow of air

and away from the compressor,

Place the first drop as far from the
compressor as the size of your shop
will allow (50 feet is optimal, although
unrealistic for a small shop), The

further the drop, the more that
condensation can occur, and the
drier the air will be when it reaches

the water separator,

In order to reduce the amount of
water and contaminants that get into
the water separator, install the take-

off line on the top of the main air
supply line for each air drop,

A drain line should be placed at the
end of the main line for condensate

drainage.

Drain valves should be placed at the
end of branch lines and the drain

line, and drained daily,

This tool features a power regulator valve
(fig. 2), Rotate regulator until desired

output is achieved, The settings on the
regulator are only for reference and do not
denote a specific power output, Turn
regulator to a position with the sinlge

circle being the least amount of power and
the three circles being the most amount of

power,

Once a bolt or fastener is seated,

impacting for longer than five (5)
seconds will cause excessive wear and

possible damage to the impacting
mechanism, ff it takes longer than five

seconds to tighten or loosen your bolt

or fastener, we recommend the use of a
larger size impact wrench,
