■ Be sure to thoroughly read this Instruction
Manual and fully understand the instructions
before use.
■ Preparation before use of pneumatic tool
● Proper piping facility should be prepared.
Piping must be installed so that clean and dry compressed
air will be supplied. To install piping, note that even if the
air compressor is reasonably installed, lack of proper care
to the piping will result in a decrease in output and early
damage to tools due to adverse influence such as pres-
sure drop or drain. Air pressure inevitably varies with
distances from the air compressor. However, the air pres-
sure may significantly vary particularly in case of high-
velocity airflow. This phenomenon is commonly referred to
as mid-flow loss or piping loss which results from loss or
leakage to outside due to friction between airflow and the
pipe or the inner wall of the hose
The pressure drop decreases as the pipe size increases,
and the loss is proportional to the pipe length. Conse-
quently, as per schematic piping diagram above, com-
pressed air passes through pipes via the receiver, and
drainage and dust are eliminated, proper air pressure is
secured, and automatic lubrication is conducted by the
filter, regulator, and lubricator, respectively.
