1. Incorporate a filter, regulator with
pressure gauge, oiler, in-line shutoff
valve, and quick coupler for best ser-
vice, 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 into the airline connection be-
fore operation. Add a few more drops
after each hour of continual use.
2. 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 coupler plug 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.
3. The air hose must be long enough
to reach the work area with enough
extra length to allow free movement
while working.
4. Release the Trigger.
5. Close the in-line safety valve be-
tween the compressor and the tool.
