SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: When using tool, basic safety precautions should always be followed to reduce the risk of personal injury and damage to equipment.
Read all instructions before using this tool!
1. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
2. Observe work area conditions. Do not use machines or power tools
in damp or wet locations. Don’t expose to rain. Keep work area well
lighted. Do not use electrically powered tools in the presence of flammable gases or liquids.
3. Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area.
Do not let them handle machines, tools, or extension cords.
4. Store idle equipment. When not in use, tools must be stored in a dry
location to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of
children.

5. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or
attachment to do the work of a larger industrial tool. There are certain
applications for which this tool was designed. It will do the job better
and more safely at the rate for which it was intended. Do not modify this
tool and do not use this tool for a purpose for which it was not intended.
6. Use eye protection. Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles
when using the Paint Shaker.
7. Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry as they can be
caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically non conductive clothes
and nonskid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive
hair covering to contain long hair.
8. Verify that the paint containers are securely closed before shaking, to
avoid spilling or property damage.
9. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Follow instructions for lubricating and changing accessories.
Inspect tool air hoses periodically and, if damaged, have them repaired
by an authorized technician. The handles must be kept clean, dry, and
free from oil and grease at all times.
10. Disconnect air line. Unplug air line from the tool when not in use. Only
use compressed air.
11. Avoid unintentional starting. Be sure the switch is in the Off position
when not in use and before plugging air line in. Do not carry any tool with
your finger on the trigger, whether it is plugged in or not.
12. Stay alert. Watch what you are doing, use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
13. Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears
damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate
properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and
binding of moving parts; any broken parts or mounting fixtures; and any
other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
Do not use the tool if any switch does not turn On and Off properly.
14. Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, use only identical
replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only
use accessories intended for use with this tool. Approved accessories
are available from Harbor Freight Tools.

15. Do not operate tool if under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read
warning labels if taking prescription medicine to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt,
do not operate the tool.
16. Make sure the place where you use this product is properly ventilated.
17. The brass components of this product contain lead, a chemical known
to the State of California to cause birth defects (or other reproductive
harm). (California Health & Safety code § 25249.5, et seq.)
18. Verify paint containers are securely closed before shaking.
19. Maintenance. For your safety, service and maintenance should be performed regularly by a qualified technician.
20. Verify the air pressure from compressor is between 40 and 70 PSI .
21. Follow the warnings and precautions in the manual for the air compressor being used.
The warnings, cautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual
cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must
be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors
which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
UNPACKING
When unpacking, check to make sure that all the parts of the Pneumatic Paint
Shaker are included. Refer to the Assembly Drawing and Parts List at the end
of this manual. If any parts are missing or broken, please call Harbor Freight
Tools at the number on the cover of this manual.
INSTALLATION
1. Choose a workbench to mount the Paint Shaker on that is able to withstand the weight of the tool, full paint can, and steady vibration of the
mixing.
2. Locate the Paint Shaker on the workbench and mark drilling holes using the Base (1) mounting holes as a template.
Caution: Before drilling, verify that there are no obstructions or live wires be-
neath the table.
Page 4SKU 94605 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.
3. Move the Paint Shaker aside, and drill holes using a drill matching the
size of the Base (1) mounting holes.
4. Mount Paint Shaker to the workbench using supplied nuts and bolts
hardware. If the supplied hardware will not accommodate the workbench,
other hardware will need to be purchased.
Air Connection
1. Wrap a small amount of Teflon® joint tape (not supplied) around the
treads of the Control Valve (6), then screw it into
the Inlet Fitting (7) until secure. Do not overtighten. Thread on the Oiler (52) to the Control
Valve (6). fill the Oiler with oil. See page 6.
2. Attach the compressor air hose (not supplied)
to the Control Valve (6). Securely tighten.
3. Optional: Attach an air quick-coupler (not sup-
plied) between the air hose and Oiler (52) for fast disconnects.
4. Tighten all couplings and fittings.
AIR FILTER CONNECTION
Dirt, water, and the lack of pneumatic tool oil are major causes for tool wear.
Install an optional air filter (not supplied), as illustrated below for better performance.
Connect the Pneumatic Paint Shaker, air hose, filter, to the Compressor Air
Outlet as illustrated below.
The air filter (not supplied) is recommended but not mandatory for operation.
If the filter is not used, connect the air supply hose directly to the compressor
air inlet fitting. Use pipe thread seal or Teflon tape on all threaded connections.

OPERATION
Warning: Verify that the paint containers are securely closed before shaking,
to avoid spilling or property damage. Make sure there is oil in Oiler (52)
BEFORE use. See page 6.
1. Place the paint can within the Jaws (48) and securely tighten Handle (38).
2. Verify that the Control Valve (6) is in the Off position (handle perpendicular
to air flow direction) as shown on page 4.
3. Turn on the air pressure at the air supply tank or compressor. Adjust
pressure to 40 PSI as read on the compressor pressure gauge.
4. Adjust the air pressure up to a maximum of 70 PSI for optimum tool
performance.
5. Turn the Control Valve (6) to the On position. Shaking will begin.
Caution: If the paint can appears to be slipping out from the Jaws (48) during
shaking, immediately turn off the Control Valve (6). Reset the can and retighten
the Jaws.
6. Shake the paint can for two to four minutes, depending on its size.
7. After mixing the paint, turn the Control Valve (6) to the Off
position, and wait for the movement to stop.
Handle (38)
8. Disconnect the air hose from the compressor.
9. Loosen Handle (38) and remove the paint can.
Lubricating The Paint Shaker
1. Disconnect the Pneumatic Paint Shaker from the air supply.
2. Locate the Oiler (52). There is a plug and a small screw on the Oiler that
must be removed. Using a small funnel, pour air tool oil into the fill hole
until the oiler is full. Replace the Fill Screw and plug. See photo page 5.
3. Connect the Pneumatic Paint Shaker to the Oiler (52). The oiler will
automatically spray a very small amount of oil into the Paint Shaker as
you use it. Make sure you keep oil in the Oiler (52) to avoid damaging
the Paint Shaker.
4. There is a zerk oil fitting (25) that feeds oil to a Bushing (21). Lubricate the
bushing at least once a month if heavily used. See diagram on page 9.

MAINTENANCE
1. After each use, remove the air hose and wipe the tool with a clean cloth
to remove any dirt and grease buildup.
2. To maintain tool life, always lubricate the air line by adding a few drops of
pneumatic tool oil to the air line before each use. Or, install the automatic
oiler-filter system as previously illustrated.
3. Before each use, drain water out of the air compressor tank and condensation from the air lines. Refer to the Air Compressor Operator’s Manual.
