COMPRESSED AIRLINE REQUIREMENTS
• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air.
• Air compressors must comply with the appropriate European
Community Safety Directives.
• A build-up of moisture in the air compressor will accelerate wear
and corrosion in the air tool. Ensure any moisture is drained from the
compressor daily and the airline filter is kept clean.
• If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line
pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.
• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating
pressure of the air tool.
• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter &
regulator are used, they will keep the tool in good condition, and
the lubricator should be regularly checked and topped up with oil.
• Ensure that air pressure does not exceed that stated in the
specification for the tool or regulator. Higher pressures and
contaminated air will shorten the life of the air tool due to faster
wear and is a possible safety hazard.
IMPORTANT! Any airline lubricator required for motorised air tools must be fitted
downstream of the filter/regulator.
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF
COMPRESSORS AND A COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
