Operating Procedures
Air Supply

CAUTION: This air tool requires lubrication BEFORE initial
use, also before and after each additionaluse.

WARNING: Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give
a measured air pressure at the tool of 90PSI/6.2bar when
the tool is running with the trigger fully depressed.
Use recommended hose size. It is recommended that the tool is
connected to the airsupply.
Do not connect the tool to the air line system without
incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut off valve.
The air supply should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended
that an air filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as this will
supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool.
Details of such equipment can be obtained from your supplier.
If such equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated
by shutting off the air supply to the tool and then depressurizing
the line by pressing the trigger on the tool. Disconnect the
air line and pour into the air inlet 1teaspoon of a suitable
pneumatic motor lubricating oil, preferably incorporating a rust
inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool slowly for a
few seconds to allow air to circulate theoil.
Lubricate tool daily if used frequently, or when it starts to slow
or losepower.
Start‑Up (Fig.A)
1. Turn on the air compressor and allow the air tank to
befilled.
2. Set the air compressor regulator to 90PSI (6.2 Bar) This air
tool operates at a maximum of 90PSI (6.2 Bar) airpressure.
3. Depress the Variable speed trigger
1
to start operating
thetool. The more you squeeze the trigger, the faster the
tool willoperate.
Shut‑Down (Fig.A)
1. Release the Variable speed trigger
1
in order to stop
thetool.
Prepping the Air Tool

WARNING: Risk of unsafe operation. Firmly grasp air hose
with hand when installing or disconnenting to prevent
hosewhip.

WARNING: Risk of bursting. Too much air pressure causes
a hazardous risk of bursting. Check the manufacturer’s
maximum pressure rating for air tools and accessories.
The regulator output pressure must never exceed the
maximum pressurerating.
• Drain water from air compressor tank and condensation
from air lines. (Please refer to air compressor’s
operationmanual.)
EMERGENCY
GATE VALVE
OPERATION

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal
injury, turn unit off and remove air supply before
making any adjustments or removing/installing
attachments or accessories. An accidental start-up can
causeinjury.
Proper Hand Position (Fig.A)

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS use proper hand position.

WARNING: To reduce the risk of serious personal injury,
ALWAYS hold securely in anticipation of a suddenreaction.
Air Supply
The recommended hook-up is shown in the following
illustration. Pneumatic tools operate on a wide range of air
pressures. For maximum efficiency and longer tool life, the
pressure of the air supplied to these tools MUST not exceed the
rated PSI at the tool when the tool is running. Using a higher
than rated pressure will cause faster wear and drastically shorten
the tool’s life. A higher air pressure can also cause an unsafe
condition andexplosion.
The inside diameter of the hose should be increased to
compensate for unusually long air hoses 7.6m. Minimum
hose diameter should be 10mm I.D. and fittings should have
6.35mm NPTthread.
The use of air line lubricators and air line filters is recommended
to prevent water in the line that can damage the tool. Drain the
air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly
schedule to remove accumulated dirt or other matter that can
restrict airflow.
The tool’s air inlet used for connecting an air supply has
standard 6.35 mm NPT American thread.
NOTE: An air filter unit should be placed between air
compressor and air lubricator to promote clean air supply to
the impact wrench. Water, dirt, and scale can damage the
impactwrench.
• Lubricate the tool. (Please refer to the Maintenance section
in the manual.)
• Connect the air ratchet to air source with the hose of
recommendedsize.
