CARE AND MAINTENANCE
14
ALWAYS DISCONNECT TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE PERFORMING ANY MAINTENANCE ON THE TOOL.
Always make sure the tool is properly lubricated during operation. Proper lubrication is shown in this instruction manual.
An in-line oiler (not included) is recommended to help increase tool life and keep the tool properly lubricated. The in-line oiler should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil as needed. Proper adjustment of the in-line oiler can be performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the tool’s exhaust ports while holding the throttle completely open for 30 seconds. When a light stain of oil collects on the paper, the oiler is properly adjusted. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
Clean the entire tool with a cotton rag after each use. If storing the tool for an extended period, it should be lubricated and run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. Always store tools in a clean, dry environment away from the reach of children.
Recommended lubricants: air-tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agents and an EP (extreme pressure) additive. Consult your local retailer for further assistance in selecting air tool oil best suited for proper lubrication.
STORAGE: Tool must be well cleaned and lightly lubricated before storing. Store tool in a dry, safe place out of the reach of children.

POSSIBLE PROBLEM SOLUTION
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the tool runs slowly or will not operate, check these possible problems and take the required corrective action:
Grit or gum in tool.
Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum solvent. No oil in tool. Lubricate the tool. Low air pressure.
Adjust the regulator on the tool to the maximum setting.
Adjust the compressor regulator to tool maximum of 90 PSI.
NOTE: Air hoses may cause up to 15 PSI loss in
pressure, so you may need to set a higher compressor
output to maintain the required pressure at the tool.
Air hose leaks.
Tighten and seal hose fittings if leaks are found. Use
sealing tape. Pressure drops.
Be sure the hose is the proper size. Long hoses or tools
using large volumes of air may require an internal diameter
of 1/2 in. I.D. or larger, depending on total hose length.
Do not use multiple hoses connected together with
quick-connect fittings. This causes additional loss of
pressure and reduces the tool power. Use single hoses
of the proper length. Worn rotor blade. Replace rotor blade.
Moisture blowing out of tool exhaust.
Water in compressor tank; drain tank. (See air
compressor manual.)
Oil the tool and run until no water is evident. Oil the tool
again and run 1 – 2 seconds.
