Proper use of the fastener driving tool requires an adequate quantity of clean dry compressed air. All
compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants detrimental to the tool and so it is recommended to
use an in line lubricator as close to the tool as possible (within 15 feet (4.5m)). The lubricator should be well
maintained so as to ensure optimum performance and power. All parts of the air supply system should be
clean and contaminant free.
The tool shall only be connected to a compressed air line where the maximum allowable pressure cannot be
exceeded by a factor of more than 10%, which can for example be achieved by a pressure reduction valve
which includes a downstream safety valve.
A male free flow coupling should be connected to the tool side of the system with the female coupling
providing a seal to prevent air loss from the compressor tank upon disconnection. Never connect a female
disconnect coupling to the tool side as this provides a seal which prevents loss of compressed air from the air
tank and if connected to the tool it could seal a charge of air in the tool which could lead to an unintentional
actuation. Do not mount a swivel connector in the air supply line.
Different work pieces will require different operating pressures, the harder the wood the greater the pressure
required. Remember always use the lowest pressure required for the work process at hand, this being to
prevent unnecessarily high noise levels, increased wear and resulting failures.
WARNING
Keep hands and body away from the discharge area of the tool when connecting the air supply
and always disconnect the tool when servicing, adjusting, cleaning and when the tool is not in use.
