PREPARATION
Follow the instructions below to prepare your tool for
operation.
1. All tool operators and their immediate supervisors must
become familiar with the operator safety instructions
before operating the tool.
2. Included with each tool are one copy of these Operating/
Safety Instructions. Keep this publications for future
reference.
3. Install a filter, regulator, lubricator unit and moisture
trap on your air delivery system per the manufacturer's
instructions for these devices. Additionally, install
a pressure gauge as close as practical to the tool,
preferably within 10 feet (3 meters).
4. Select hoses with a minimum inner diameter of
1/4 inch (6.4 mm) and a maximum length of 100 feet
(30.5 meters).
WARNING
To reduce the risk of injury from a hose bursting, select
hoses that are rated at least 200PSI.
5. Select fittings that are appropriately sized for the
selected hoses. The tool and air hose must have a hose
coupling such that all pressure is removed from the tool
when the coupling joint is disconnected.
WARNING
Never use non relieving couplers and/or female quick
disconnect couplings on the tool. Non relieving couplings
and female couplings will trap high pressure air in the tool
when the airline is disconnected. This will leave the tool
charged with enough air after it has been disconnected
to drive a nail. Only MALE pneumatic type air connectors
should be fitted to the tool, so that high pressure air in
the tool is vented to atmosphere as soon as the airline is
disconnected.
6. Set the regulator at the air delivery system to a PSI that
falls within the tool's operating range of 70-115PSI. The
correct pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the
job.
OPERATION
LUBRICATION
WARNING
USE ONLY THE AIR TOOL LUBRICANTS SUPPLIED WITH
THE TOOL. Do not use other lubricants as they may damage
the tool.
If the tool is not used with an in-line lubrication system on
the air supply it is necessary to periodically lubricate the tool
with air tool lubrication.
