Wen 61635, Operator'S Manual

Page: 10 / 16

Follow the instructions below to prepare the compressed air supply (not included). The working pressure of
the air compressor MuST be regulated by a regulator to fit the operating pressure of your tool (45 to 90 PSi).
NEVEr let the air pressure exceed 91 PSi. The tool may be damaged if the maximum air pressure is exceeded.
WaRNING:
use only clean dry, and regulated air. Never use oxygen, combustible gases, bottled
gases, or high pressure compressed gas to power this tool. danger of explosion and serious personal
injury may result. do not operate when the air pressure is outside of the recommended range.
refer to the chart below for the recommended compressor size for your tool based on its expected workload.

CONNECTING TO THE aIR SUPPly
refer to the diagram below (Fig. 3) for the recommended accessories and connection order. All air supply
components including hoses, connectors, filters, regulators, etc. must have a working pressure rating of at least
135 PSi. The compressed air hose (not included) should not be longer than 50 ft (15 m) and should have an
internal diameter of at least 0.35 inch (9 mm) in order to minimize pressure loss.
install an automatic in-line mist lubricator between the compressed air source and the tool to keep the air inlet
continuously lubricated. if an in-line mist lubricator is not used, lubricate the tool’s air inlet before each use
by manually apply a few drops of 30W non-detergent air tool oil. An in-line filter is recommended to remove
contaminants from the air to prolong the life of the tool and compressor. To connect to the air supply:
1. Turn on the compressor on and set the regulator to the proper pressure (between 45 and 90 PSi).
2. Be sure the air hose is depressurized when attaching it to or removing it from the tool.. Connect one end of
the hose to the outlet of your air compressor and connect the other end to the lubricated air inlet of the tool.
The connections must click into place audibly. use appropriate hose tape to prevent leaking.
3. Check the compressed air hoses and couplings to make sure there are no leaks. Lay the compressed air
hoses flat on the ground with sufficient length of spare hose in the work area.
