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.

1. Incorporate an in-line oiler, shut-off

valve, regulator with pressure gauge,

and filter for best service, as shown in

the diagram above.

an in-line shut-

off valve is an important safety

device because it controls the air

supply even if the air hose is rup-

tured.

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-

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.

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

to reach the work area with enough

extra length to allow free movement

while working.
Make sure the tool’s throttle or switch

is in the off position; refer to Opera-

tion section for description of con-

trols.
Close the in-line safety valve be-

tween the compressor and the tool.
Turn on the air compressor according

to the manufacturer’s directions and

allow it to build up pressure until it

cycles off.
Adjust the air compressor’s output

regulator so that the air output is

enough to properly power the tool,

but the output will not exceed the

tool’s 90 PSI 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.

Repair any leaks found.
