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 air tool.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is
recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi at the tool
when running. Higher pressures and unclean air will shorten the life of the tool
due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.
BEFORE USE
NOTE:
Ensure the compressor is turned off.
1. Remove the plastic blanking plug from the air inlet connection.
2. Pour 2-3 drops of airline oil into the oil filling port. This should be done
regardless of whether or not a lubricated air supply is to be used.
3. If required, connect an in-line mini oiler to the tool.
• A mini oiler helps to prolong the life of any air tool.
4. Connect a suitable hose as shown
or use the snap connector
supplied to connect directly to the
hose.
5. Connect the other end of the hose
to the compressor.
• PTFE tape may be useful for
sealing threaded connections.
6. Turn on the air supply and check
for air leaks. Rectify any found
before proceeding.
7. If using a mini oiler, place a sheet of paper next the exhaust port and hold
the throttle open for approximately 30 seconds. The oil volume is correctly
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF AIR
