AIR SUPPLY
Tools operate on a wide
range of air pres
sures. It is
recommended that air pressure
mea
sures 90 PSI at the tool
with the trigger fully depressed
and no load applied to the tool.
Low pressure (under 90 psig;
6.2 bar) re duc es the speed of
all air tools. Low air pressure
not only wastes time, but also
costs money. Higher pres sure
(over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises
performance beyond the rated
capacity of the tool, which
will short en tool life and could
cause injury. Always use clean,
dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes
and/or water in the air line
will cause damage to the tool.
Drain water from air lines and
compressor prior to running
tool. Clean the air inlet filter
screen weekly. The rec
om
mend ed hookup pro ce dure can
be viewed in the above figure.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust,
corrosive fumes, and/or water
in the air line will cause damage
to the tool. Drain the air tank
daily. Clean the air inlet filter
screen at least once per week.
The air inlet used for
connecting the air supply has
standard 1/4" NPT American
Thread. Line pressure should
be increased to compensate
for unusually long air hoses
(over 25 feet). Minimum hose
diameter should be 3/4" I.D.
Fittings should have the same
inside dimensions and should
be tightly secured.
Ensure an accessible
emergency shut off valve has
been installed in the air supply
line and make others aware of
its location.
Lubricate the air motor daily
with NAPA air tool oil. If no
air line oiler is used, run
1/2 oz. of oil through the tool.
The oil can be squirted into
the tool air inlet or into the
hose at the nearest connection
to the air supply, then run
the tool. A rust inhibitive oil
is acceptable for air tools.
WARNING:
After an air tool
has been lubricated, oil will
discharge through the exhaust
port during the first few
seconds of operation. The
exhaust port must be covered
with a towel before applying
air pressure to prevent serious
injury.
