Operating Pressure:
70 to 120 p.s.i.g. (4.9 to 8.43 kg/cm
2
). Select the operating pressure within in this range for best fastener
performance.
Air Consumption:
The FN1664 requires 3.9 cubic feet per minute or C.F.M. (110.4 liters per minute or LT/MIN) of free air at 80PSI
(5.6 kg/cm
2
) to operate at a rate of 60 fasteners per minute. To determine the appropriately sized air
compressor, take the actual rate at which the tool will be run and compare the required C.F.M. (LT/MIN) to the
compressors free air delivery (C.F.M./ LT/MIN) at 80 PSI (5.6 kg/cm
2
).
For example, if your fastener usage averages 30 fasteners per minute, you need 50% of the tools C.F.M.
required to operate the tool at the rate of 60 fasteners per minute. In this case, be sure that your air compressor
can deliver a minimum of 1.90 C.F.M. (55.2 LT/MIN) at 80 PSI(5.6 kg/cm
2
) for optimum performance.
