Air Supply
1. Ensure air valve (or trigger) is in the
“off” position before connecting to the air supply.
2. You will require air pressure of 90psi, and air flow according to specification.
3.
WARNING!
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90psi while operating
the tool. Air pressure exceeding the recommended specification and unclean air will
cause excessive wear and shorten the product life. This may be dangerous and may
cause damage or personal injury.
4. Drain the condensation from the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
5. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8
meters). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4
” I.D. and fittings must have the
same inside dimensions.
7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain
that all connections are secure.
Lubrication
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig4) as it increases tool life and keeps
the tool in good working order. The in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust
ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light
stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time, ensure it is
lubricated generously. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly
distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
It is most important that the tool should be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled
and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication, the tool will not work properly and parts will wear
prematurely.
Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may harm
the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and other rubber parts.
IMPORTANT!!!
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system, air operated tools should be lubricated at
least once a day or after 2 hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on the work environment,
directly into the air inlet.
