Caution! When fitted in automatic equipment, it is
necessary to install appropriate alarm or warning
devices in case of power outage or malfunction or
compressor (e.g. feed line, etc.) failure.
To guarantee perfect and reliable operation of the
rotary and percussive pneumatic tools such as impact
wrenches, staplers or nailers, etc., the compressed air
must be supplied filtered - with oil via the lubricator
or maintenance unit
A filtered water separator should be used for var-
nishing in any case.
To select a suitable pneumatic tool, the tool air
consumption and the compressor effective amount
delivered must necessarily be considered.
