•
Always operate, inspect and maintain this tool in accordance with all regulations (local, state, federal and country), that may apply
to hand held/hand operated pneumatic tool.
•
For safety, top performance, and maximum durability of parts, operate this tool at 90 psig. (6.2 bar / 620 kPa) maximum air
pressure at the inlet with 3/8'' (10mm) inside diameter air supply hose.
•
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive moisture can ruin the motor of an air tool.
•
Exceeding the maximum pressure of 90 psig (6.2 bar / 620 kPa) will lead to the risk of danger such as excessive speed, tool wear,
breaking parts, higher torque or force that may destroy the tool and its accessories or the part being worked on.
•
Maintain power tools. Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts and any other condition that may
affect the power tool's operation. If damaged, have the power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly
maintained power tools.
•
Use rated accessories recommended by FACOM only. Inspect accessories before use. Do not use cracked or damaged
accessories. Just because the accessory can be attached to your power tool, it does not assure safe operation.
•
Use the power tool, accessories and tool bits, etc. in accordance with these instructions, taking into account the working
conditions and the work to be performed. Use of the power tool for operations different from those intended could result in a
hazardous situation.
•
Ensure that sparks and debris resulting from use do not create a hazard.
•
The pneumatic tool must be fi tted and connected to the compressed air network via quick disconnects to facilitate shutdown in
the event of danger.
•
When the life of the tool has expired, it is recommended that the tool be disassembled, degreased and parts be separated by
material so that they can be recycled.
•
Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air supply hose before installing, removing or adjusting any accessory on this
tool, or before performing any maintenance on this tool.
•
Do not use damaged, frayed or deteriorated air hoses and fi ttings. Do not abuse hoses or connectors.
•
Do not lubricate tools with fl ammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
•
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
•
Periodically inspect labels to ensure all markings are still legible.
•
Do not use the tool if the trigger does not turn the tool on or off.
•
Do not lock, tape or wire the «on/off» trigger in the «on» position, as this trigger must be free to return to the «off» position when
released.
•
Be sure all hoses and fi ttings are the correct size and are tightly secured.
•
The use of a hose whip is recommended. A coupler connected directly to the air inlet increases tool bulk and decreases tool
maneuverability.
•
For maximum performance, the coupler on the wall should be the next size larger than the coupler used on the tool. The coupler
closest to the tool should not be less than the proper air supply hose size.
•
Use clamps or another practical way to secure and support the workpiece to a stable platform. Holding the work by hand or
against the body is unstable and can lead to loss of control.
•
When not in use, disconnect tool from air supply to prevent accidental or unauthorized use in the absence of the operator.
•
Do not alter any part/component/accessory of this tool in any way.
•
Mesh air strainer at air inlet occasionally becomes clogged with debris, blocking air supply, and decreasing the tool's
performance. If this occurs the mesh air strainer needs to to be cleaned.
•
Store idle power tools out of the reach of children and do not allow persons unfamiliar with the power tool or these instructions to
operate the power tool. Power tools are dangerous in the hands of untrained users.
•
Place the tool on the bolt or nut before starting the tool. Do not point or indulge in any horseplay with this tool.
SERVICE
•
Tool service must be performed by qualifi ed repair personnel, using only FACOM authorized, identical replacement parts. Use
only lubricants recommended by FACOM.
VARIABLE SPEED TRIGGER
To turn the tool on, squeeze the trigger. To turn the tool off, release the trigger. The more you squeeze the trigger, the faster
the tool will operate.
FORWARD/REVERSE AND SPEED CONTROL KNOB
The forward/reverse and speed control knob (Fig. 1) determines the direction of the tool and also serves as the variable
speed control. To select forward rotation, depress the side button on the right side of the tool as shown. To select reverse,
depress the side button on the left side of the tool as shown.
