Safety Information
WORK AREA SAFETY
- Keep work area clean. Never operate the product near flammable substances like gasoline, naphtha, cleaning solvents, etc. Work in a clean, well-ventilated area free of combustible materials. Cluttered areas invite injuries.
- Never use oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any other bottled gases as an air source for the tool. Such gases are capable of explosion and serious injury to persons.
- Observe work area conditions. Do not expose to rain. Keep work area well lighted.
- Disconnect the tool from the air source before making any adjustments, changing accessories, or storing the tool. Such preventative safety measures reduce the risk of starting the tool unintentionally.
- Store idle equipment. When not in use, the product must be stored in a dry location to inhibit rust. Always lock up tools and keep out of reach of children.
PERSONAL SAFETY
- Keep children away. Children must never be allowed in the work area. Do not let them handle machines, tools, extension cords, or air hoses.
- Dress properly. Do not wear loose clothing or jewellery as they can be caught in moving parts. Protective, electrically non-conductive clothes and non-skid footwear are recommended when working. Wear restrictive hair covering to contain long hair.
- Do not overreach. Keep proper footing and balance at all times; this enables better control of the tool in unexpected situations.
- Protect your eyes by wearing safety glasses or a face shield when using this product.
WARNING: Read all safety warnings and instructions before using this tool. Failure to follow the warnings and instructions may result in personal injury and property damage. Save all warnings and instructions for future reference.
WARNING: Always disconnect the hose reel from air source after operation.
Always disconnect air tool attached to the hose reel from air supply before making any adjustments and changing accessories.
Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the hose reel. Disconnect air supply before service.
The warnings, precautions, and instructions discussed in this instruction manual cannot cover all possible conditions and situations that may occur. It must be understood by the operator that common sense and caution are factors which cannot be built into this product, but must be supplied by the operator.
CAUTION: This product contains chemicals known to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash hands after handling.
CAUTION: Keep hose away from sharp edges. Check hose for wear before each use.
AIR COMPRESSOR AND AIR HOSE REEL SAFETY
- Maintain the product with care. Inspect hose periodically and, if damaged, have it repaired by an authorized technician.
- Install an in-line shutoff valve to allow immediate control over the air supply in an emergency, even if a hose is ruptured.
- 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. There are certain applications for which this product was designed. Do not modify this product and do not use this product for a purpose for which it was not intended.
- Stay alert. Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not operate any tool when you are tired.
- Check for damaged parts. Before using any tool, any part that appears damaged should be carefully checked to determine that it will operate properly and perform its intended function. Check for alignment and binding of moving parts, any broken parts, and any other condition that may affect proper operation. Any part that is damaged should be properly repaired or replaced by a qualified technician.
- Replacement parts and accessories. When servicing, only use identical replacement parts. Use of any other parts will void the warranty. Only use accessories intended for use with this product.
WARNING: Do not exceed maximum pressure of 300 psi. Over pressurizing the tool may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the tool or serious injury to persons. Use compressed air regulated to a maximum pressure at or below the rated pressure of any attachments to this product.
WARNING: Do not operate tool under the influence of alcohol or drugs. Read warning labels on prescriptions to determine if your judgment or reflexes are impaired while taking drugs. If there is any doubt, do not operate the tool.
WARNING: Use proper size and type of air connection hose. If an air connection hose is required, it must be of the proper size and type to supply the correct current to the tool without heating up. Check your compressor manual for extension cord information.
WARNING: Make sure that the product is securely seated on flat ground before pressurizing.
WARNING: Do not release hose. Rapidly retracting hose could cause injury and property damage. Maintain control of hose as it retracts.
WARNING: Do not move and/or carry the product by air hose. Use the carry handle for movement.

CAUTION: When using power tools such as an electric drill, please wear eye protection.
WARNING: Ensure there are no live electrical wires or plumbing in the wall at the location your are drilling.
Operation
1 Using the hose reel
- Slowly pull the hose out to the required length. A “clicking" noise will be heard every revolution of the inner drum, then the hose will lock in position.
- Pressurize hose reel and use your air-powered tool.
WARNING: Always hold the hose reel until it completely retracts into the hose reel.
WARNING: The yellow tape marks the end of hose length. Release pressure when not in use.
CAUTION: Do not release the hose allowing to rewind on its own.
2 When finished using the hose reel
- Turn off air supply to hose reel.
- Release the pressure in the hose reel, by briefly activating your air-powered tool.
- Give the hose a short pull until the “clicking” noise stops, and walk the hose back to the hose reel.
- To avoid injury and damage, always hold the hose while it is retracting. Always hold the hose until it completely retracts into the hose reel.
- If the hose becomes tangled and will not retract, slowly pull out the hose past the tangled section and then allow the hose to slowly retract while guiding the hose back into the hose reel. Always ensure the hose is clean and not twisted.
3 Adjusting the stop-ball
- The stop-ball location can be adjusted to ensure the hose is always within reach.
- Pull out the hose to the desired length, ensuring the hose reel is locked (will not rewind).
- Open the latch on the stop ball and move it to the desired location.
- Re-latch the ball.
CAUTION: Always make sure the hose reel is locked before removing the stop-ball, and make sure the stop-ball is securely fastened before unlocking the reel.

Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Causes | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Air hose cannot be pulled smoothly. | Coil spring is loosened or damaged. | Have a qualified service technician replace the coil spring. |
| Air hose does not retract automatically. | ||
| Tool runs slowly or will not operate. | Low air pressure. Air pressure drops. Air hose leaks. | Adjust air regulator to the correct working pressure for tool. Make sure that the air connection hose is the proper size and length. Do not use a multiple number of hoses connected together with quickconnect fittings, which will result in pressure drops and reduce tool power. Tighten and seal all NPT threads of hose fittings in your air line with thread sealant tape. Replace if the hose is damaged. |
