COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.

Air compressors used with the tool must comply with the appropriate 
European Community Safety Directives.

A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate wear and 
corrosion in the tool. Ensure any moisture is drained from the compressor daily 
and the inlet 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 tool.

A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is 
used, it will keep the tool in good condition.

For optimum performance it is recommended that a 3/8” ID hose is used.

Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is 
recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi  (6.2 bar) at 
the tool. Higher pressures and dirty air will shorten the life of the tool due to 
faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU 
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF 
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
