8. Some dust created by power sanding, sawing,
grinding, drilling and other construction
activit ies c ont ai ns ch em ic als known t o c aus e
cancer, birth defects or other reproductive
harm. Some examples of these chemicals
are:
• Lead from lead based paint.
• Crystalline silica from bricks, cement and
other mas onry prod uc ts .
• Arsenic and chromium from chemically
treated lumber.
Your risk of exposure varies, depending on
how often you d o this type of work. To r educe
your exp osure to th ese chemic als, wor k in a
well-ventilated area and work wit h approved
safety equipme nt, su ch as face or dust masks
that are specifically designed to filter out
microscopic particles.
9. D o not operat e an air tool c ontinually at full
throttl e wit h ou t a w ork l oad on the tool.
10. The air tool must be properly lubricated before
operatin g.
11. Never start a percussion type air tool (chipper,
breaker, buster, etc.) without securing the
tooling in the retainer and placing the tip
against the work surface.
12. Do not operate air tool without its guards in
place. Do not modify the tool.
13. Do not oper ate this tool w hile tired or un der
the influence of drugs, alcohol, or any
medication.

8. Blow out air line to remove any dirt or
moisture, then connect air supply hose to
tool. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
IMPORTANT: Connecting a quick-change
coupling directly to the tool is not
recomm ended, as vibr ation may c ause the
connection to fail. Instead, add a leader hose
and install any quick-change couplings
farther down the line .

Important: Do NOT raise air pressure above
maximum rating for this rivet buster. If tool is
not accomplishing task at maximum air
pressure and flow, use a larger tool or
different means to achieve task.
Maintenance
Inspect rivet buster before each use. Ensure that
working steel is secured inside retainer. After use,
wipe dow n the tool with a r ag. Per iodic ally ap ply
light coat of oil to exposed metal surfaces to inhibit
rust.
Lubrication
The rivet buster should be lubricated daily (or
before eac h use) with air tool oil throu gh the air
inlet. D uring c ontinu al oper ation , it s hould b e reoiled every 1 to 2 hours. This can be done with an
in-line oiler, or manually. If done manually,
proceed as f ollows:
1. Dis c onnect air hos e fr om t ool .
2. Pl ac e 4 or 5 dr ops of air tool oil into air inlet.
NOTE: Air tool oil not provided; it is available
at most major hardware and tool stores. SAE
#10 oil or s ewing m achin e oil m ay be used
as a substitute. Do not use detergent oil.
3. Re-connect air. Run rivet buster at low
throttle without load for a few seconds to
distribu te the oil thr oug h out th e tool .
When you are f inished oper ati ng rivet bust er, t ur n
off air supply and press throttle lever to bleed
residual air. Disconnect air hose. Wipe off housing
with a dr y cloth. P lace 4 or 5 dr ops of air tool oi l
into air i nlet ; re- c onnec t air an d run t he t ool f or a
few sec onds to distribute oil. Bl eed residual air
again and dis c on n ect air hose.
Storage
Avoid storing the rivet buster in very humid
locations which promotes rusting of internal
mechan isms. Al ways oil t he tool and disconn ect
air hose before storage.
Air system requiremen t s
1. Use proper air hose size (refer to tool
specifications). The hose should be just long
enough to serve the working area. Excessive
hose len gth wil l c ause pressur e drop.
2. Make sure air compressor supplies clean,
dry air at correct CFM for the angle grinder.
3. Set air pressure to 90 psi.
Excess air pressure
and/or unclean air will shorte n the tool’s
life and may create a hazardous situation.
4. Drain water fr om air c ompr essor tank d aily,
as well as any c ondensati on from air lines.
W ater in the air li ne may enter the t ool and
cause damage.
5. Ch ange filters on the air syst em on a reg ul ar
basis.
6. Air-line pressure may be increased
accordi n gly to compens ate for ext ra-long air
hoses (usually over 25 feet). Inside diameter
of hose sh oul d b e minimum 1/2-inch.
General Air Tool
Information
If the air tool is not performing according to
specif ications , the f oll owing ar e am ong th e most
common causes. (See also “Troubleshooting”
section.)
•Contam inat ed air such as a dirty air s ystem
or water in the system.
• Using wrong size tool for the job.
• Poor maint enanc e prac tices, such as us ing
excessive air pr ess ure or air volu m e.
•Improper or no lubrication.
Rule of Thum b
If it takes more than 8 seconds to tighten or loosen
a bolt or nut with an air impact wrench, the air
wrench is too sm all or th e air compressor CFM is
not powerful enough for the job. Continued use in
either ca p acity will cause damage to the tool.
Tool Pressure
JET Air Tools oper ate on 70- to-100 ps i (pounds
per square inch) air pressure measured at the tool
when the tool is operating. Set tool to 90 psi
unless indicated otherwise. Pressure in excess of
100 psi will shorten the life of the tool.
JET 7
Air System Recommendat io ns
Equip the air compressor intake with a
replaceable air filter that can be easily cleaned.
Use safety shut-off valves so air flow can be
stopped quickly in case of a line break.
When us ing m ultipl e hoses , air hoses s hould be
larger than leader hose. Join multiple hoses
directly, rather than with quick connect fittings
which may c ause press ure dr ops and tool pow er
reduction.
Use anti-whip devices across hos e couplings to
prevent hose from whipping in the event of a hose
failure or c oup li ng dis connec t.
Always us e m oistur e tr aps at t he c om press or for
the mai n dis t r ib ut ion line. U se moisture traps an d
in-line oi lers on eac h downli ne that is to be used
for air tools. (See Figure 4). Place oiler as close to
air tool as possible f or best lubrication.
Lubrication
Use a light oil c ontai ni ng rust in hibit ors , ident if ied
as “Air Tool Oil,” or an ISO VG32 (SAE 10W )
equival ent. Many JET air tools have integral oil
reservoirs, which should be kept filled when in-line
oilers ar e not us ed.
If greasing is required, use a grease that is highly
water r esis t ant f or th e fr ont c as e c ompon en ts on
air impact wr enc h es , grin d er s and s an d ers.
Recycling
Protect the environment. Your tool contains
materials which can be recovered or recycled.
When its us eful life has expired, pleas e leav e t ool
at a specialized facility.
