SAFETY GUIDELINES
1. Make sure that the air compressor being used for the air tool operation sup-
plies the correct output (CFM).
2. Have the tool in the “off” position when connecting the tool to the air supply.
3. Use normal 90 PSI (or ranging from 6.0 to 8.0kg) air pressure while running the
tool. High pressure and unclean air will shorten the tool’s life due to faster wear
and may also create a hazardous situation.
4. Drain water from air compressor tank daily as well as any condensation in the air
lines. Water in the air line may enter the tool and damage the tool mechanisms
at operation.
5. Clean the air inlet filter cartridge weekly. The recommended hook-up procedure
can be viewed in the diagram below.
6. Line pressure should be increased accordingly to make up for extra long air
hoses (usually over 8 metres). The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D.
and the fittings should have the same inside dimensions. But usually a 3/8”
I.D. air hose is recommended for air supply to get the best function of air tool
operation.
7. Use proper hoses and fittings. We do not suggest connecting quick change
couplings directly to the tool since they may cause failure due to vibration.
Instead, add a leader hose and connect coupling between air supply and hose
whip.
8. Check hoses for wear before individual use. Make certain that all connections
are securely fastened.
