Maintenance(Continued)
CAUTION: Lubricate tool only with specified lubricants.
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial solvents and maybe damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove dirts, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetration oils, ect. come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious personal injury.
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tool’s operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
CAUTION: The work surface can become damaged by excessive lubrication. Proper lubrication is the owner's responsibility. Failure to lubricate the tool properly will dramatically shorten the life of the tool and void your warranty.

The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving. An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through the tool. A filter can be used to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum up internal parts of the tool. Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8” air hose for runs up to 50’ and use 3/8” quick coupler on the air hose. Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is required to control the operating pressure of the tool between 70 psi - 115 psi.

CAUTION: The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent driving. WARNING: Do not connect with an air compressor which can potentially exceed 200 psi. As the tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
