SECTION 3:
OPERATION
3.1 Tool Body
1. If an automatic oiler is not used, add a few drops of pneumatic/air tool
oil to the airline connection before use. Add a few more drops after each
hour of continual use.
2. This air tool is equipped with a safety catch trigger that locks the trigger
into the off position when the trigger is not depressed.
3. To operate trigger: push forward on the safety catch with your thumb
while pushing downward on the trigger.
4. The rotation speed of the tool is controlled by the amount of pressure
applied to the trigger.
5. DO NOT continue to operate the tool if the safety catch does not lock
the trigger in the off position when released.
6. Always ensure that the trigger is in the locked (OFF) position when
changing attachments.
7. Change attachments according to instructions in the “Tool Set Up”
section of this manual.
3.2 Air Ratchet
1. The Ratchet attachment is designed to work with all 1/2” drive sockets.
Four are included in the case: 9/16”, 5/8”, 11/16”, and 3/4”
2. Before installing a socket onto the Ratchet Anvil, make sure that the
tool’s trigger is in the locked (OFF) position.
3. Slide socket onto anvil until it locks into place.
4. Once socket is installed, set the Forward/Reverse knob to the desired
direction.
5. Place the socket on the bolt or nut that needs to tightened/loosened.
6. Hold the tool firmly with both hands, as torque will cause the tool to twist
when the trigger is depressed.
7. Gently squeeze the trigger to tighten or loosen bolt/nut. Apply additional
pressure on trigger as needed.
8. If the bolt/nut requires a higher level of torque than the tool can provide
at 90 PSI then an alternate tool should be used to achieve desired
torque. DO NOT attempt to raise air pressure to get more torque out of
the tool. Operating the tool at a higher than maximum rated pressure
can result in damage to the tool and/or accessory and possible injury to
the operator.
