Air Motor Lubrication

To maintain the maximum performance of the air tool, it must be lubricated

each time it is used. Dust, dirt, rust and oil residue will build up inside the tool
and reduce the performance. An in-line oiler is recommended for proper 
automatic tool lubrication (see Figure 1). If an in-line oiler is not available, the
tool can be lubricated manually through the inlet port (see Figure 4).

1.

Disconnect the air tool from the air supply.

2.

Turn the tool upside down and while depressing the trigger, add 4-6 drops 
of Coleman Powermate® air tool oil #018-0059SP or SAE10 nondetergent
oil into the air inlet. 

NOTE:

Depressing the trigger helps circulate oil in the 

air motor. 

3.

Reconnect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a 
towel and run in forward and reverse directions for approximately 30 
seconds to remove excess oil.

NOTE: If the tool remains sluggish after it has been lubricated, the internal components may need to 
be cleaned. 

To Clean:

Disconnect the air tool from the air supply and pour or spray a generous amount of WD-40® into the air inlet 

with the trigger depressed. Connect the tool to the air supply, cover the exhaust port end with a towel and run in
forward and reverse directions for approximately 30 seconds. Follow the air motor lubrication instructions above
after cleaning is completed to re-lubricate the tool.

After oiling or cleaning, cover the exhaust port with a towel and operate the tool for a 
few seconds to safely remove the excess oil. Clean the handle and surface of the tool 
of any oil residue. Failure to cover the exhaust port and clean the tool, can result in 
serious injury.  

Note: Keep the towel away from moving parts!

b.

Insert the desired collet chuck into the tool and tighten, using the collet wrenches.

6. 

Connect the tool to the air hose quick coupler. 

NOTE: It is recommended that a whip hose with a swivel 

(P012-0079SP - not included) be used to prevent twisting, kinking and excessive wear to the air hose 
(ref. item “F” in figure 1 for recommended connections).

7.

Squeeze the trigger gently. When starting with a cold grinding stone or accessory, apply it to the work slowly 
until the stone or accessory gradually warms up. Make smooth contact with the work, and avoid any 
bumping action or excessive pressure. When the trigger is fully depressed, the tool is at full speed. As the 
trigger is released, the tool slows down, allowing the operator to choose the best speed and power for the 
job. Release the trigger to stop the tool.
