THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
Air compressors used with this air tool must comply with the appropriate
European Community Safety Directives.
A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate wear and
corrosion in the air tool. ensure any moisture is drained from the compressor
daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.
If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the airline pressure or
the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.
The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating pressure of
the tool.
A typical airline layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is
used, it will keep the air tool in good condition, but should be regularly
checked and topped up with oil. SAE 10 oil should be used and the lubricator
adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.
The minimum hose diameter should be 8mm ID and fittings should have the
same internal dimensions.
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. It is
recommended that air pressure to this tool does not exceed 90 psi at the tool
when running. Higher pressures and unclean air will shorten the life of the tool
due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
