Initial Tool Set Up/Assembly
Read the ENTIRE IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION section at the beginning of this
manual including all text under subheadings therein before set up or use of this product.
Note: For additional information regarding the parts listed in the following pages,
refer to the Assembly Diagram near the end of this manual.
Air Supply
TO PREVENT EXPLOSION:
Use only clean, dry, regulated, compressed air to power this tool. Do not use oxygen,
carbon dioxide, combustible gases, or any other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.
1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge,
oiler, in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for
best service, as shown on Figure A on page 8
and Figure B on page 9. An in-line shutoff
ball valve is an important safety device because
it controls the air supply even if the air hose
is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a
ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
4. Release the tool’s trigger.
5. Close the in-line safety valve between
the compressor and the tool.
6. Turn on the air compressor according to
the manufacturer’s directions and allow it
to build up pressure until it cycles off.
7. Adjust the air compressor’s output regulator
so that the air output is enough to properly
power the tool, but the output will not exceed
the tool’s maximum air pressure at any time.
Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the
air output gauge to set the right pressure range.
Note: If an automatic oiler system is not used,
add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil into
the airline connection before operation.
Add a few more drops after each hour of continual use.
Note: This air tool may be shipped with a protective plug
covering the air inlet. Remove this plug before set up.
8. The air pressure setting must not exceed job site
regulations/restrictions. The air pressure setting
must not exceed 90 PSI when being used with work
pieces that have a thickness of less than 1-3/4″.
2. Attach an air hose to the compressor’s air outlet.
Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool.
Other components, such as a coupler plug
and quick coupler, will make operation
9. Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.
more efficient, but are not required.
WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY
FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool.
Such a coupler contains an air valve that will
allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate
accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.
10. If the tool will not be used at this time, turn off
and detach the air supply, safely discharge
any residual air pressure, and release the
trigger to prevent accidental operation.
Note: Residual air pressure should not be present
after the tool is disconnected from the air supply.
However, it is a good safety measure to attempt to
discharge the tool in a safe fashion after disconnecting
to ensure that the tool is disconnected and unpowered.
Note: Air flow, and therefore tool performance,
can be hindered by undersized air supply components.
3. The air hose must be long enough to reach
the work area with enough extra length to
allow free movement while working.

Limited 90 Day Warranty
Harbor Freight Tools Co. makes every effort to assure that its products meet high quality and durability standards,
and warrants to the original purchaser that this product is free from defects in materials and workmanship for the
period of 90 days from the date of purchase. This warranty does not apply to damage due directly or indirectly,
to misuse, abuse, negligence or accidents, repairs or alterations outside our facilities, criminal activity, improper
installation, normal wear and tear, or to lack of maintenance. We shall in no event be liable for death, injuries
to persons or property, or for incidental, contingent, special or consequential damages arising from the use of
our product. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the
above limitation of exclusion may not apply to you. THIS WARRANTY IS EXPRESSLY IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS.
To take advantage of this warranty, the product or part must be returned to us with transportation charges
prepaid. Proof of purchase date and an explanation of the complaint must accompany the merchandise.
If our inspection verifies the defect, we will either repair or replace the product at our election or we may
elect to refund the purchase price if we cannot readily and quickly provide you with a replacement. We will
return repaired products at our expense, but if we determine there is no defect, or that the defect resulted
from causes not within the scope of our warranty, then you must bear the cost of returning the product.
This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
