IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow that is at least 4.5
cubic feet per minute (SCFM) at 90 pounds per square inch (PSI). Check the
specifications of your air compressor to be sure that it can support both the
minimum SCFM and PSI required. The air hose length could affect how
much air pressure the tool is actually receiving. You may need to adjust the
air pressure higher on the air regulator to achieve the working pressure of
90 PSI.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Always remove tool from air supply before performing any maintenance on
tool.
An in-line oiler (not included) is recommended to be installed to air supply.
It will 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. To
check if the in-line oiler is properly lubricating the tool, place a sheet of paper
next to the tool’s exhaust ports while holding the throttle completely open for
30 seconds. The in-line oiler is properly set when a light stain of oil collects
on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended
period of time, the tool should receive a generous amount of lubrication right
before being stored. After being well lubricated, the tool should be run for
approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed
throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry
environment away from the reach of children. Recommended lubricants:
Use air-tool oil or any other high grade turbine oil containing moisture
absorbent, rust inhibitors, metal wetting agent and an EP (extreme pressure)
additive. Consult your local retailer for further assistance in selecting which
air tool oil is best suited for proper lubrication.
STORING:
Tool must be well cleaned and lightly lubricated before storing.
Store air tool in a dry, safe place, out of the reach of children.

TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM POSSIBLE PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION
Tool runs
slowly or will
not operate.
1. Grit or gum in tool.
2. No oil in tool.
3. Low air pressure.
4. Air hose leaks.
5. Pressure drops.
6. Worn rotor blade.
7. Moisture blowing
out of tool exhaust.
1. Flush the tool with air-tool oil or gum
solvent.
2. Lubricate the tool.
3. a. Adjust the regulator on the tool to
maximum setting.
b. Adjust the compressor regulator
to tool maximum of 90 PSI.
4. Tighten and seal hose fittings if
leaks are found. Use sealing tape.
5. a. Be sure the hose is the proper size.
Long hose or tools using large
volumes of air may require a hose
with an I.D. of 1/2 in. or larger
depending on the total length of the
hoses.
b. Do not use a multiple number of
hoses connected together with
quick-connect fittings. This causes
additional pressure drops and
reduces the tool power. Directly
connect the hoses together.
6. Replace rotor blade.
7. Water in tank; drain tank. (See air
compressor manual). Oil tool and run
until no water is evident. Oil tool
again and run 1-2 seconds.
