Air pressure at the tool must never exceed 

  120 psi.

 

 

Your pneumatic tool comes ready for immediate use and can be installed 

by following these steps: 

 

i.

 

SAFETY-All tool operators and their immediate supervisors must 

become familiar with the operator safety instructions before operating 

the tool. The instructions are on page 2 of this manual. 

 

ii.

 

Included with each tool are one copy of this Safety and Maintenance 

manual and one copy of the Tool Schematic. Keep these publications 

for future reference.   

 

iii.

 

The plastic cap in the air inlet of the tool must be removed before the 

male air fitting is installed. The fitting must be a male pneumatic type 

that discharges the air from the tool when the air line is disconnected. 

 

iv.

 

Install a filter/regulator/lubricator unit with a gauge as close as 

practical to the tool, preferably within ten feet. Refer to the Air 

Systems section of this manual for air hose requirements and lengths. 

In general, no other special installation is required. 

 

v.

 

If the operator is working at a bench or table, it is usually best to run 

the air line underneath the bench. A small tray under the benchtop can 

hold the fastener supply and the tool when not in use. 

 

vi.

 

If this tool does not work when it is first connected, do not try to make 

repairs. Call your local service center immediately.
