Oiler
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.
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-
