AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE THOROUGHLY FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE
USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY.
•
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
•
Air compressors used with the tool must comply with the appropriate
European Community safety directives.
•
A build up of moisture in the air compressor will accelerate wear and
corrosion in the moving parts. Ensure any moisture is drained from the
compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.
•
If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), line pressure may
need to be increased.
•
Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool.
•
The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating
pressure of the tool.
• A pressure of 90psi with a flow of 6 cfm is required. Too high an air pressure
will shorten the life of the tool due to excessive wear.
A typical airline layout is shown. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator/
lubricator unit is used it will keep the tool in good condition, but should be
regularly checked and topped up with oil.
