cautions should always be followed,

including the following:

General

a. To reduce the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons,

read all the instructions before us-

ing the tool.

WARNING marking concerning Risk

of Eye Injury. Wear ANSI-approved

Work area

a. Keep the work area clean and well

lighted. Cluttered benches and dark

areas increase the risks of electric

shock, re, and injury to persons.

b. Do not operate the tool in explo-

sive atmospheres, such as in the

presence of ammable 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 do-

ing and use common sense when

operating the tool. Do not use the

tool while tired or under the inu-

ence of drugs, alcohol, or medica-

tion. 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 unexpect-

ed situations.

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 protec-

tion. Wear ANSI-ap-

proved 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 adjust-

ments, 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 chil-

dren 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 bind-

ing of moving parts, breakage of

parts, and any other condition that

affects the tool’s operation. If dam-

aged, replace Spray Can. There is a

risk of bursting if the tool is damaged.

SKU 1102 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 4

Air source

a. 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.

b. 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.

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 pos-

sible.

• This air tool may be shipped with a

protective plug covering the air inlet.

Remove this plug before set up.

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 an in-line shut-off valve,

regulator with pressure gauge, and

lter 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 ow, and therefore tool perfor-

mance, can be hindered by under-

sized air supply components.

SKU 1102 For technical questions, please call 1-800-444-3353. Page 6

3. Close the in-line safety valve be-

tween 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. 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 require-

ment at any time. Adjust the pres-

sure gradually, while checking the air

output gauge to set the right pressure

range.

6. 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.

USER-MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

Procedures not specically

explained in this manual

must be performed only by a

qualied technician.

TO PREVENT

SERIOUS INJURY

FROM ACCIDENTAL

OPERATION: Detach the air

supply, safely discharge any

residual air pressure in the

tool before performing any

inspection, maintenance, or

cleaning procedures.

TO PREVENT SERIOUS

INJURY FROM TOOL

FAILURE: Do not use

damaged equipment. If

abnormal noise, vibration,

or leaking air occurs, have

the problem corrected before

further use.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and

Lubrication

Note: These procedures are in addition to

the regular checks and maintenance

explained as part of the regular op-

eration of the air-operated tool.

1. When nished, discharge air pres-

sure by pressing on the stem of the

valve core with a narrow screwdriver

tip. Twist of the Head Unit (1) and

empty contents of Tank (4) in a safe

area.

2. Fill the Spray Can with fty percent

fresh water and reattach the Head

Unit.

3. Pressurize the Spray Can. Aim the

Button into a bucket containing some

water and depress the button to

discharge the Tank contents, ushing

the system.

NOTE: This step can be omitted if the

Spray Can was used with fresh-water

applications or as an air duster.
