   WARNING:

When servicing, use only identical replacement parts. 
Use of any other parts may create a hazard or cause 
product damage.

   WARNING:

Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side 
shields during power tool operation or when blowing 
dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.

   WARNING:

Always release all pressure, disconnect from power 
supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before 
cleaning or making repairs on the air compressor.

MAINTENANCE

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

Humidity in the air causes condensation to form in the air 
tank. This condensation should be drained daily and/or 
every hour, using the instructions found in 

Draining the 

Tank

.

The safety valve automatically releases air if the air 
receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check 
the safety valve before each use following the instructions 
found in 

Checking the Safety Valve

.

Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other 
imperfections that could cause it to become unsafe.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most 
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of 
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. 
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.

LUBRICATION

All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient 
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit 
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further 
lubrication of the bearings is required.

  WARNING:

Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-

based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact 

with plastic parts. Chemical can damage, weaken or 

destroy plastic which may result in serious personal 

injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wall-

board, spackling compounds, or plaster are subject 

to accelerated wear and possible premature failure 

because the fiberglass chips and grindings are highly 

abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc. 

Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for 

extended work on these type of materials. However, if 

you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely 

important to clean the tool using compressed air.
