IMPORTANT SAFETY
INSTRUCTIONS

INSTRUCTIONS PERTAINING
TO A RISK OF FIRE,
ELECTRIC SHOCK, OR
INJURY TO PERSONS
WARNING – When using tools, basic precautions should always be followed,
including the following:

General
a.	

To reduce the risks of electric
shock, fire, and injury to persons,
read all the instructions before using the tool.

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Page 2

Work area
a.	

Keep the work area clean and well
lighted. Cluttered benches and dark
areas increase the risks of electric
shock, fire, and injury to persons.

b.	

Do not operate the tool in explosive atmospheres, such as in the
presence of flammable liquids,
gases, or dust. The tool is able to
create sparks resulting in the ignition
of the dust or fumes.

c.	

Keep bystanders, children, and
visitors away while operating the
tool. Distractions are able to result in
the loss of control of the tool.

Personal safety
a.	

Stay alert. Watch what you are doing and use common sense when
operating the tool. Do not use the
tool while tired or under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or medication. A moment of inattention while
operating the tool increases the risk
of injury to persons.

b.	

Dress properly. Do not wear loose
clothing or jewelry. Contain long
hair. Keep hair, clothing, and
gloves away from moving parts.
Loose clothes, jewelry, or long hair
increases the risk of injury to persons
as a result of being caught in moving
parts.

c.	

Do not overreach. Keep proper
footing and balance at all times.
Proper footing and balance enables
better control of the tool in unexpected situations.

SKU 1102	

d.	

Use safety equipment. A
dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes and a hard hat must
be used for the applicable
conditions. Wear heavy-duty work
gloves during use.

e.	

Always wear eye protection. Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles.

Tool use and care
a.	

Do not force the tool. Use the
correct tool for the application. The
correct tool will do the job better and
safer at the rate for which the tool is
designed.

b.	

Disconnect the tool from the air
source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or
storing the tool. Such preventive
safety measures reduce the risk of
starting the tool unintentionally. Turn
off and detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure,
and release the throttle and/or turn
the switch to its off position before
leaving the work area.

c.	

Store idle tool out of reach of children and other untrained persons.
A tool is dangerous in the hands of
untrained users.

d.	

Maintain tool with care. A properly
maintained tool is easier to control.

e.	

Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of
parts, and any other condition that
affects the tool’s operation. If damaged, replace Spray Can. There is a
risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

Air source
a.	

b.	

Never connect to an air
source that is capable of
exceeding 90 PSI. Over
pressurizing the tool may
cause bursting, abnormal operation,
breakage of the tool or serious injury
to persons. Use only clean, dry,
regulated compressed air at the rated
pressure or within the rated pressure
range as marked on the tool. Always
verify prior to using the tool that the
air source has been adjusted to the
rated air pressure or within the rated
air-pressure range.
Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide,
combustible gases or any bottled
gas as an air source for the tool.
Such gases are capable of explosion
and serious injury to persons.

	 SAVE THESE
INSTRUCTIONS.

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.

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.

Unpacking
When unpacking, make sure that
the item is intact and undamaged. If any
parts are missing or broken, please call
Harbor Freight Tools at the number shown
throughout the manual as soon as possible.
•	 This air tool may be shipped with a
protective plug covering the air inlet.
Remove this plug before set up.

1.	

Incorporate an in-line shut-off valve,
regulator with pressure gauge, and
filter for best service, as shown in the
diagram above. An in-line shutoff
valve is an important safety device
because it controls the air supply
in the event of an air hose rupture
or other emergencies.

2.	

Attach a tire chuck to one end of the
air supply hose and the other end
of the hose to the air supply (neither
one is supplied.)

Note:	 Air flow, and therefore tool performance, can be hindered by undersized air supply components.
SKU 1102	

For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353.

3.	

Close the in-line safety valve between the compressor and the tool.

4.	

Turn on the air compressor according
to the manufacturer’s directions and
allow it to build up pressure until it
cycles off.

5.	

6.	

Adjust the air compressor’s output
regulator so that the air output is
enough to properly charge the tool,
but the output will not exceed the
tool’s maximum air pressure requirement at any time. Adjust the pressure gradually, while checking the air
output gauge to set the right pressure
range.
Inspect the air connections for leaks.
Repair any leaks found.

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.

are found, do not use tool until
repaired or replaced.
