air Supply
To PREVEnT
ExPloSion:
use only clean, dry, regulated,
compressed air to power this
tool. do not use oxygen,
carbon dioxide, combustible
gases, or any other bottled
gas as a power source for this
tool.

Incorporate a filter, regulator with
1.
pressure gauge, in-line shutoff valve,
and quick coupler for best service,
as shown in the diagram above.
an in-line shutoff ball valve is an
important safety device because it
controls the air supply even if the
air hose is ruptured. The shutoff
valve should be a ball valve be-
cause it can be closed quickly.
note:
If an automatic oiler system is not
used, add a few drops of Pneumatic
Tool Oil to the airline connection be-
fore operation. Add a few more drops
after each hour of continual use.
Attach an air hose to the compres-
2.
sor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose
to the air inlet of the tool. Other com-
ponents, such as a connector and
quick coupler, will make operation
more efficient, but are not required.
WaRning! To PREVEnT SERiouS
injuRY fRom accidEnTal
oPERaTion: do not install a
female quick coupler on the tool.
Such a coupler contains an air valve
that will allow the air tool to retain
pressure and operate accidentally
after the air supply is disconnected.
note:
Air flow, and therefore tool perfor
-
mance, can be hindered by under-
sized air supply components.
The air hose must be long enough
3.
to reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
Close the in-line safety valve be-
4.
tween the compressor and the tool.
Turn on the air compressor according
5.
to the manufacturer’s directions and
allow it to build up pressure until it
cycles off.
Adjust the air compressor’s output
6.
regulator so that the air output is
enough to properly power the tool,
but the output will not exceed the
tool’s maximum air pressure at any
time. Adjust the pressure gradually,
while checking the air output gauge
to set the right pressure range.
Inspect the air connections for leaks.
7.
Repair any leaks found.
If the tool will not be used at this
8.
time, turn off and detach the air sup-
ply, safely discharge any residual air
