conditions before each use. Make sure all 

connections are secure.

  Release 

all pressure from the system 

before attempting to install, 

service, relocate or perform 

any maintenance.

Operation

LUbrICaTIOn

Proper lubrication is the owner’s 

responsibility. Failure to lubricate the air tool 

properly will dramatically shorten the life of 

the tool and will void the warranty.

This product is a part of a high pressure 

system and the following safety precautions 

must be followed at all times along with any 

other existing safety rules.

1.  Read all manuals included 

with this product carefully. Be 

thoroughly familiar with the 

controls and the proper use 

of the equipment.

rules of safe operation should be allowed 

to use the air tool.

operating pressure of the air 

tool (90 PSI). This can reduce 

the life of the tool.

3.  Do not exceed any pressure rating of 

any component in the system. Maximum 

operating pressure of 90 PSI is measured 

at the tool inlet while the tool is 

running. The pressure drop between 

the compressor and tool needs to be 

compensated for at the compressor.

before changing tools or attachments, 

servicing and during non-operation.

  Safety 

glasses and ear protection 

must be worn during 

operation.

scarves, or neck ties in work area. Loose 

clothing may become caught in moving 

parts and result in serious personal injury.

any tool. Jewelry may become caught 

in moving parts and result in serious 

personal injury.
