OMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY

Many  of  problems  come  from  a  faulty  or  inadequate
compressed  air  supply  system.  Before  attempting  to
repair the tool, the following points should be checked:
• Check the pressure at the output of the compressor;

adjust to 80-100 psi (5.5-7.0 bar) as required.

• Check the tank pressure of the compressor & adjust

the start/stop limits.

• Check  the  air  delivery  system;  a  3/8"  hose  is

recommended.

• Use  fewer  tools  simultaneously;  do  not  exceed  the

capacity of the compressor or of the delivery system.

• Drain water from the compressor.
