ponents, such as a connector and
quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.
WaRning! to pReVent SeRiouS
injuRy FRoM accidental
opeRation:
do not install a female quick
coupler on the tool. Such a coupler
contains an air valve that will allow
the air tool to retain pressure and
operate accidentally after the air
supply is disconnected.
note: Air flow, and therefore tool perfor-
mance, can be hindered by under-
sized air supply components.
3. The air hose must be long enough
to reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
4. Make sure the tool’s Safety Paddle
Switch or switch is in the off position;
refer to Operation section for descrip-
tion of controls.
5. Set the air regulator on the compres-
sor to its lowest setting.
6. Turn on the air compressor according
to the manufacturer’s directions and
allow it to build up pressure until it
cycles off.
7. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
8. Adjust the air compressor’s output
regulator so that the air output is
enough to properly power the tool,
but is prevented from exceeding the
maximum air pressure at any time.
9. If the tool will not be used at this
time, turn off and detach the air sup-
ply, safely discharge any residual
air pressure, and release the Safety
Paddle Switch and/or turn the switch
to its off position to prevent accidental
operation.
note: Residual air pressure should not be
present after the tool is disconnected
from the air supply. However, it is a
good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion
after disconnecting to ensure that the
tool is disconnected and unpowered.
