Read manual before operating tool.
You now own the finest insert installation tool on the market today. These durable tools provide many years of trouble free
operation if you will simply follow the instructions in this manual.
Prior to use, certain checks must be made. This tool requires the proper air line setup, lubrication, and air pressure to set the
desired inserts.
AIRf~IH§::IErUP
Every ARO Air Tool is designed and built to yield the longest possible useful life, with a minimum amount of servicing. Since an air
tool is a precision machine whose working parts mate with close tolerances, it should receive the same reasonable care as any
other machine tool. Here are a few simple practices that will keep your ARO Air Tool in top operating condition.
KEEP AIR SUPPLY CLEAN. All compressed air carries varying amounts of dust, scale, moisture and other foreign matter that
should be removed by proper filtering. Failure to keep air supply clean will result in excessive wear on working parts. Therefore,
we recommend the installation of an air line filter. If your tool is equipped with a built-in air strainer, remove and clean the strainer
periodically. Always blowout the air hose before attaching to tool.

USE AIR LINE LUBRICATOR. Air tool motors operate at extremely high speeds, and must have proper oil lubrication. An air line
lubricator should be installed and oil supply properly regulated. Your ARO Distributor can furnish the correct combination air line
filter and oiler. Some units can service up to three tools simultaneously. As a further precaution, put a few drops of light oil in air
inlet of tool before attaching tool to air line for the first time.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS: Spindle Oil 29665 (I qt. container) for oiler and air inlet.
FILTERED AND OILED AIR will allow the tool to operate more efficiently and yield a longer life to operating parts and
mechanisms. A line filter capable of filtering particles larger than 50 microns should be used with a line oiler.
FILTER-REGULATOR-OILER combination (F-R-L) Model 28231-810 is recommended for use with this Air Tool. The capacity of
the individual Filter-Oiler is adequate to provide clean (40 micron), oiled and regulated air for the tool. AIR CONSUMPTION:
Approximately 25 SCFM.
RECOMMENDED HOSE SIZE: 5/16" nominal inside diameter.
oalJ\jMlNt PROPER AIR PRESSURES
AVK's power installation tools have been designed to operate at the listed "Dynamic" P. S.1.ratings at the air inlet of the tool. Even
though the in-line pressure gage may show the proper pressure, the use of long hoses, quick-disconnects and other couplers
between the gage and the tool can adversely affect the tool's performance. A simple test, so you may correlate our required P. S.1.
setting with your set-up is:
1. Connect a 1/4" short pipe nipple into the tool's air inlet.
2. Screw a 1/4" pipe tee onto the pipe nipple and put an air gage into the upright leg of the pipe tee.
3. Connect the air supply to the pipe tee using the actual hose, fittings, couplers or connectors that will be used.
4. Now, check the P.S.1.on the test gage at the air tool inlet with the tool running. Adjust, as necessary, the air pressure regulator
so that the P.S.1.required is shown on the test gage. Note the reading on the in-line pressure gage. It will probably read a higher
P. S.1.than the gage at the tool. The figure on the in-line gage is the "Adjusted Dynamic P.S.I." Use this figure when using the tool
in that location with that hose set-up.
5. Remove tee, nipple and gage, connect air supply directly to tool and begin production.

Adjust the in-line air pressure regulator so that dynamic
pressure is in accordance with AVK's power tool specs
at the air tool inlet.
