approx imately 6 0 times per minute at a c ompression
of 0.8 3 MP a ( 8 .3 bar) , a c ompressor w ith an air output

P ressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to
th e rated pressure of th e tool w h ere air supply pressure
ex c eed s th e tool' s rated pressure. F ailure to d o so may
result in serious inj ury to tool operator or persons in th e
v ic inity .
Selecting air hose
CAUTION:
Lo air output of the compressor,
or a long or smaller diameter air hose in relation
to the stapling frequency may cause a decrease in
the driving capability of the tool.

Lubrication
Fig.3
T o insure max imum perf ormanc e, install an air set ( oiler,
regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.
A d j ust th e oiler so th at one d rop of oil w ill be prov id ed
f or ev ery 5 0 staples.
W h en an air set is not used , oil th e tool w ith pneumatic
tool oil by plac ing 2 ( tw o) or 3 ( th ree) d rops into th e air
fitting. This should be done before and after use.
For proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of
times af ter pneumatic tool oil is introd uc ed .
