A
IR SUPPLY

The rivet tool is powered by compressed air at an optimum pressure of 90 psi (6 BAR)

The use of a pressure regulator filter/lubricator unit within 3 meters of the tool is highly
recommended to extend the life of the tool.
Dirt and/or water in the air supply can seriously impact the performance and durability of
the tool; damage to the tool caused by contaminated air supply is not covered under
warranty
If the air pressure is too high, there is a danger of parts being damaged,
While if it is too low, riveting may not be possible.
