3. AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS

WARNING:
Read section titled "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS".
DO NOT USE ANY POWER SOURCE EXCEPT AN AIR COMPRESSOR
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on any other highpressure
gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an explosion. For this
reason, absolutely do not use anything other than an air compressor to operate the tool.
OPERATE WITHIN THE PROPER AIR PRESSURE RANGE
The tool designed to operate within an air pressure range of 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar.)
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work being fastened. The tool shall never be
operated when the operating pressure exceeds 120 p.s.i. (8 bar.)
DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL NEAR A FLAMMABLE SUBSTANCE
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from
these substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air and this
could result in an explosion.
DO NOT USE A WRONG FITTINGS
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is
used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener
even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY AND EMPTY THE MAGAZINE WHEN THE TOOL IS NOT IN USE
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty the magazine when operation has been
completed or suspended, when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, disassembling,
or repairing the tool, and when clearing a jammed fastener.

Regulator
Air compressor
Air filter
Air hose
3-piece airset
Used at 70 to 100 p.s.i. (5 to 7 bar)
NOTE:
A filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear from the tool because dirt and water in
the air supply are major causes of wear in the tool.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best performance. Oil added thru the air line
connection will lubricate the internal parts.
FITTINGS: Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release
air pressure from the tool when disconnected from the supply source.
Oiler
HOSES: Hose has a min. ID of 1/4˝ (6 mm) and max. length of no more than 17˝ (5
meters).
The supply hose should contain a fitting that will provide "quick disconnecting" from
the male plug on the tool.
SUPPLY SOURCE: Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for
the tool.
3-PIECE AIRSET (Air filter, Regulator, Oiler):
Refer to TOOL SPECIFICATIONS for setting the correct operating pressure for the
tool.
