6. Air-line pressure may be increased
accordingly to compensate for extra-long air
hoses (usually over 25 feet). Inside diameter
of hose should be minimum 3/8-inch.
General Air Tool
Information
If the air tool is not performing according to
specifications, the following are among the most
common causes. (See also “Troubleshooting”
section.)
•
Contaminated air such as a dirty air system
or water in the system.
•
Using wrong size tool for the job.
•
Poor maintenance practices, such as using
excessive air pressure or air volume.
•
Improper or no lubrication.
Air System Recommendations
Equip the air compressor intake with a
replaceable air filter that can be easily cleaned.
Use safety shut-off valves so air flow can be
stopped quickly in case of a line break.
When using multiple hoses, air hoses should be
larger than leader hose. Join multiple hoses
directly, rather than with quick connect fittings
which may cause pressure drops and tool power
reduction.
Use anti-whip devices across hose couplings to
prevent hose from whipping in the event of a hose
failure or coupling disconnect.
Always use moisture traps at the compressor for
the main distribution line. Use moisture traps on
each downline that is to be used for air tools.
Recycling
Protect the environment. Your tool contains
materials which can be recovered or recycled.
When its useful life has expired, please leave tool
at a specialized facility.
