Air Supply…
Tools of this class operate on a wide range of air pressures.
It is recommended that air pressure of these tools measure
90 PSI at the tool while running free. Higher pressure and
unclean air will shorten the tool’s life because of faster wear
and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or
water in the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain
the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a
weekly schedule. The recommended hookup procedure can
be viewed in the above figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard
1/4" NPT. Line pressure should be increased to compensate
for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose
diameter should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the
same inside dimensions and be tightly secured.
Lubrication…
Lubricate the tool daily with a good grade of air tool oil. If
no air line oiler is used, run a teaspoon of oil through the
tool. The oil can be squirted into the tool air inlet, or into the
hose at the nearest connection to the air supply, then run the
tool. Overfilling will cause a reduction in the power of the
tool. A rust inhibitive oil is acceptable for air tools.
Nipple
TroubleShooting…
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of
power or erratic action. Reduced compressor output,
excessive drain on the air line, moisture or restric-
tions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of
improper size or poor conditions may reduce air
supply. Grit or gum deposits in the tool may cut
power and may be corrected by cleaning the air
strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent
oil or an equal mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene.
If outside conditions are in order, disconnect tool
from hose, and take tool to your nearest authorized
service center.
