OPERATION
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will
explode and cause death or serious injury.
WARNING:
Do not allow familiarity with tools to make you
careless. Remember that a careless fraction of a
second is sufficient to inflict severe injury.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.

eye protection chosen has side shields or provides
protection from flying debris both from the front

PREPARING THE TOOL FOR USE
See Figure 1, page 12.
Under normal use conditions, the tool should be lubricated
before connecting the tool to an air supply. Add air tool lu-
bricant into the air fitting on the tool once daily with minimal
use, or twice a day with heavy use. Only a few drops of oil
at a time is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside
the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
Before connecting the tool, check the air compressor gauge
to be sure it is functioning within the proper range of 70-120
psi.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
leaving the work area, moving the tool to another
location, or handing the tool to another person.
Failure to do so could result in serious personal
injury.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 2, page 12.
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled
gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will
explode and cause death or serious injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed
air at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 psi. The cor-
rect air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 120 psi may damage
the tool.
The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that allows
all pressure to be removed from the tool when the coupling
is disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use a coupling that discharges all the
compressed air in the tool at the time the fitting or
hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling
that does not discharge the compressed air could
cause unintended operation and serious personal
injury.
WARNING:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying
a tool that is connected to an air hose. Doing so
could result in serious personal injury.
