PERSONAL SAFETY
1. Dress properly, wear protective equipment. Use breathing, ear, eye, face, foot, hand and head protection.
Always wear ANSI approved impact safety goggles, which must provide both frontal and side protection.
Protect your hands with suitable gloves. Wear a full face shield if your work creates metal filings or wood
chips. Protect your head from falling objects by wearing a hard hat. Wear an ANSI approved dust mask or
respirator when working around metal, wood and chemical dusts and mists. Wear ANSI approved earplugs.
Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear
steel-toed boots to prevent injury from falling objects.
2. Do not over reach; keep proper footing and balance at all times. Proper footing and balance enables better
control of the tool in unexpected situations.
3. Keep any articles of clothing, jewelry, hair etc. away from moving parts. These can be caught in moving parts,
resulting in damage to the tool and/or serious injury.
4. Stay alert, watch what you are doing and use your common sense. Do not operate any machine or tool when
you are tired, under the influence of drugs, alcohol or medications.
5. Use clamps or other practical ways to secure and support the work piece to a stable platform. Holding the
work piece by hand or against your body is unstable and may lead to loss of control.
TOOL USE AND CARE
1. Use the right tool for the job. Do not attempt to force a small tool or attachment to do the work of a larger
industrial tool. The tool will perform better and more safely at the task for which it was intended. Do not modify
this tool or use for a purpose for which it was not designed.
2. Securely hold this tool using both hands. Using tools with only one hand can result in loss of control.
3. Maintain tools with care. Keep tools clean and in good condition for a better and safer performance. Follow
instructions for lubricating and changing accessories. Inspect tool fittings, alignment and hoses periodically
and, if damaged, have them repaired by an authorized technician or replaced. The handles must be kept
clean, dry and free from oil and grease at all times. A properly maintained tool reduces the risk of binding and
is easier to control.
4. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches. Check that keys and adjusting wrenches are removed from the tool or
machine before connecting it. A wrench or key that is left attached to a rotating part of the tool increases the
risk of personal injury.
5. Avoid unintentional starts. Be sure that the throttle/ignition switch is in neutral or OFF position when not in use
and before connecting it to any air source. Do not carry the tool with fingers near or on the switch.
6. Only use the lubricants supplied with the tool or specified by the manufacturer. Other lubricants may not be
suitable and may damage the tool or even make the tool explode.
7. When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
8. Maintain label and name plate on the tool. These carry important information. If unreadable or missing,
contact Princess Auto for a replacement.

AIR SOURCE
1. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect tools from air pressure source when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing a piece or accessory. After disconnecting, discharge any residual air pressure.
2. Do not use tools if the trigger switch does not function properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
ON/OFF switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Use proper size and type of air pressure line and fittings. The recommended air line for a tool with a 1/4” inlet
is 3/8” I.D.
4. Always verify prior to using a tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the
rated air-pressure range. Over pressurizing a 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 range as marked
on the tool.
5. Never use pure oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for a tool.
Such gases are capable of causing an explosion and serious injury to persons. Do not use an air source
besides an air compressor to power this tool.
6. Always use an air regulator, an in-line filter and a moisture trap in your compressed air system. These
accessories will increase the tool’s life and keeps the tool in good working condition. See the diagram above
for recommended components of an air line.
7. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
8. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
9. Avoid using too long of an air hose. The longer the hose, the lower the pressure will be at the end of the hose,
to the point that it may not meet the minimum required for the tool. As well, a longer hose can become a
tripping hazard.
10. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
11. Always carry a tool by its handle, never by the air hose.
12. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 ft). The hose
diameter should be 3/8” l.D.
13. Air tool CFM consumption ratings are based upon a 25% duty cycle. If you require continuous duty,
a larger compressor will be required (eg. 4.0 CFM tool at continuous duty requires 16.0 CFM to
function at maximum torque).

LUBRICATION (AIR TOOLS)
1. All air tools are packed in grease to prevent corrosion of internal parts during shipping and storage. We
recommend you clean this out to have optimum performance from your new air tool. Add a generous amount
of air tool oil in the air inlet, then run the tool under no load until exhaust is clear to remove packing grease.
For future maintenance, add only one or two drops of oil daily.
2. It is very important that the tool be properly lubricated. Without proper lubrication, the tool will not work
properly and parts will wear prematurely. Manually dropping a drop or two of air tool oil once a day into the
tool’s male connector is better than using an automatic in-line lubricator, which should only be required when
there are multiple users of the same tool.
3. If using an in-line lubricator, keep it filled and correctly adjusted. The in-line lubricator should be regularly
checked and filled with air tool oil. Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet
of paper next to the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is
properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
4. Air tool oil is the only recommended lubricant for use in all air tools. Do not try to use other types of lubricants
to oil your tools. Using the wrong lubricant will cause premature tool failure and / or loss of power. Use
only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm the rubber
compounds in the tool’s O-rings and other rubber parts.
5. Oiling your air tool regularly is important, but it is also important not to over oil your air tool. Over oiling
can cause premature tool failure. Your tool may not be ruined, but it will begin to experience loss of power
that will continually get worse until it no longer works, at which point the tool will have to be taken apart
and cleaned of excess oil.
6. In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time (overnight, weekend,
etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time. The tool should be run for approximately
30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean
and dry environment.
WARNING! NEVER use WD-40 to clean or lubricate your air tool. WD-40 is a solvent that will break down the
internal grease and cause the air tool to seize up.

VIBRATION PRECAUTIONS
This tool vibrates during use. Repeated or long-term exposure to vibration may cause temporary or permanent physical
injury, particularly to the hands, arms and shoulders.
1. Anyone using vibrating tools regularly or for an extended period should first be examined by a doctor and
then have regular medical check ups to ensure medical problems are not being caused by or worsened from
tool use. Pregnant women or people who have impaired blood circulation to the hands, past hand injuries,
nervous system disorders, diabetes or Raynaud’s Disease should not use this tool. If you feel any medical
symptoms related to vibrations (such as tingling, numbness, and white or blue fingers), seek medical attention
as soon as possible.
2. Do not smoke during use. Nicotine reduces the blood flow to the hands and fingers, increasing the risk of
vibration-related injury.
3. Wear suitable gloves to reduce the vibration effects on the user.
4. Use tools with the lowest amount of vibration when there is a choice between different processes.
5. Do not use for extended periods. Take frequent breaks when using this tool.
6. Let the tool do the work. Grip tool as lightly as possible (while still keeping safe control of it).
7. To reduce vibrations, maintain tool as explained in this manual. If abnormal vibrations occur, stop using
this tool immediately.
8. This tool will not stop moving immediately. Do not lay the tool down or leave it unattended until it has
come to a complete stop. A part that is moving could make the tool jump or grab a surface and pull the
tool out of your control.

CHANGING ATTACHMENTS
Before changing, adding or removing the chisel tips or the air scaler attachment, turn off the tool and unplug it from its
air source.
1. Choose the appropriate tip depending on the work surface and the material to be cleaned. A chisel tip (22) is
used principally for chipping away welding flux, while the scaler attachment (23) is suitable for lighter residue
removal, such as fine masonry work or removal of paint or rust from metal surfaces.
2. Insert chisel tip (22) shank or needle shank (23) into tool coupler (20), lining up tip retaining ball with the flat
surface on tip shank as shown in Figure 2. With the tip fully seated, rotate coupler (20) a half turn as show
in Figure 3. This locks the tip into the tool while leaving it loose enough to bounce back and forth during
operation. Failure to lock the tip into place could result in the tip being ejected from the tool during use.
3. For needle scaler, ensure that the needle flange (25) with all the needles (24) are seated onto the needle
shank (23). Then place the spring (26) over the needles (24), and the needle housing (27) over the spring
(26). Using the supplied hex key (30), tighten the cap head screw (28) on the needle housing (27) to keep it
from falling off during tool use.
