LIMITED WARRANTY

ONE YEAR FROM DATE OF PURCHASE

All merchandise manufactured by DeVilbiss Air Power Company/ExCell Manufacturing is warranted to be free of defects in workmanship and material which occur during the first year from the date of purchase by the original purchaser (initial user). Products covered under this warranty include: air compressors, *air tools, accessories, service parts, pressure washers, and generators used in consumer applications (i.e., personal residential household usage only).

Air compressors, *air tools, accessories, service parts, pressure washers, and generators used in commercial applications (income producing) are covered by a 90 day warranty.

DeVilbiss Air Power/ExCell Manufacturing will repair or replace, at DeVilbiss/ExCell’s option, products or components which have failed within the warranty period. Repair or replacement, and service calls on 60 and 80 gallon air compressors, will be handled by Authorized Warranty Service Centers and will be scheduled and serviced according to the normal work flow and business hours at the service center location, and depending on the availability of replacement parts.

All decisions of DeVilbiss Air Power Company/ExCell Manufacturing with regard to this policy shall be final.

This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.

RESPONSIBILITY OF ORIGINAL PURCHASER (Initial User):

oRetain original cash register sales receipt as proof of purchase for warranty work.

oUse reasonable care in the operation and maintenance of the product as described in the Owners Manual(s).

oDeliver or ship the product to the nearest DeVilbiss Air Power/ExCell Manufacturing Authorized Warranty Service Center. Freight costs, if any, must be paid by the purchaser.

oAir compressors with 60 and 80 gallon tanks only will be inspected at the site of installation. Contact the nearest Authorized Warranty Service Center, that provides on-site service calls, for service call arrangement.

oIf the purchaser does not receive satisfactory results from the Authorized Warranty Service Center, the purchaser should contact DeVilbiss Air Power Company/ExCell Manufacturing.

THIS WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER:

oMerchandise sold as reconditioned, floor models and/or display models. Any damaged or incomplete equipment sold "as is".

oMerchandise used as "rental" equipment.

oMerchandise that has become inoperative because of ordinary wear, misuse, freeze damage, use of improper chemicals, negligence, accident, improper and/or unauthorized repair or alterations including failure to operate the product in accordance with the instructions provided in the Owners Manual (s) supplied with the product.

*Air Tools: O-Rings and driver blades are considered ordinary wear parts, therefore, they are warranted for a period of 45 days from the date of purchase.

oAn air compressor that pumps air more than 50% during a one hour period is considered misuse because the air compressor is undersized for the required air demand. Maximum compressor pumping time per hour is 30 minutes.

oMerchandise sold by DeVilbiss Air Power/ExCell Manufacturing which has been manufactured by and identified as the product of another company. The product manufacturer's warranty will apply.

oRepair and transportation costs of merchandise determined not to be defective.

oCost associated with assembly, required oil, adjustments or other installation and start-up cost.

oANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS, DAMAGE, OR EXPENSE THAT MAY RESULT FROM ANY DEFECT, FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION OF THE PRODUCT. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

oIMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE LIMITED TO ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF ORIGINAL PURCHASE. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE

Do not store the tool in cold weather. Frost or ice can form on the operating valves or mechanisms and the tool may not operate correctly.

In cold weather operation (near or below freezing), DO NOT USE a permanent antifreeze such as ethylene glycol for a cold weather lubricant. This type of anitfreeze will damage o-rings and seals of the tool.

NOTE

Proper lubrication is the owner's responsibility. Failure to lubricate the tool properly will dramatically shorten the life of the tool and void your warranty.

Your tool requires lubrication before you use it for the first time and before and after each additional use. If an Oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis. Lubrication prevents wear and prevents rust from forming.

1.Disconnect the air supply from the tool before manually lubricating.

2.Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up and put one drop of DeVilbiss AC230 Air Tool Oil, high speed spindle oil, such as Unocal RX22, or 3-in-1 oil into the air inlet. DO NOT USE detergent oil or additives. Operate the tool briefly after adding oil. (See Figure 1)

DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE AIR TOOL.

3.Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust.

NOTE

Many air tool users find it convenient to use an Oiler to help provide oil circulation through tool. An Oiler also increases the efficiency and useful life of the tool. An oiler is recommended for tools thatreceive heavy or constant use. Check oil level in the oiler daily. (See Figure 2)

Many air tool users find it convenient to use a Filter to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or "gum up" internal parts of the tool. A Filter also increases the efficiency and useful life of the tool. Drain water from the filter periodically. (See

Figure 3)

NOTE

Excessive oil will damage o-rings and seal of tool. If in-line oiler is used, manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a daily basis.

Do not use any type of flammable gases or oxygen as a power source for the tool. Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only. Use of compressed gas instead of compressed air may cause the tool to explode and cause death or serious personal injury.

Do not use a check valve or any other fittings which will allow air to remain in the tool. Serious personal injury or property damage could occur.

Use a Pressure Regulator on your compressor with an operating pressure of 0-125 PSI. A Pressure Regulator is required to control the operating pressure of your tool. Refer to the label on your nailer/stapler for the maximum P.S.I.

Always connect the Female Quick Coupler to the air hose. Never connect the Female Quick Coupler to the tool.

Never carry the 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 damaged, weak or worn hoses.

The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 65 PSI when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power or inconsistent operation.

NOTE

For better performance, install a 3/8"

Quick Connector (1/4" NPT threads) with an inside diameter of .315 (8 mm) on your Tool and a 3/8" Quick Coupler on the air hose. A minimum of 3/8" I.D. air hose with a rated working pressure of 150 PSI or above should be used.
