AIR SUPPLY
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 90 PSI with the
trigger fully depressed.
Use recommended hose size and length. It is recommended that the tool is connected to the air supply
as shown in figure A.
Do not connect the tool to the air line system without incorporating an easy to reach and operated shut
off valve.
It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in figure A as
this will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. Details of such equipment can be
obtained from your supplier. If such equipment is not used then the tool should be lubricated by shutting
off the air supply to the tool, depressurising the line by pressing the trigger on the tool.
Disconnect the air line and pour into the intake bushing a teaspoon (5 ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor
lubricating oil preferably incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool slowly for
a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil.
If tool is used frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slow or lose power.
SAFETY RULES FOR AIR TOOLS
1) Inspect the air hose for cracks or other problems. Replace the hose if worn.
2) Never point an air hose at another person.
3) Disconnect the tool when not in use, or before performing service or changing accessories.
4) Use proper hoses and fittings. Never use quick-change couplings attached at the tool. Instead, add a
hose and coupling between the tool and the air supply. The recommended hook-up is shown in figure A.
Pneumatic tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. For maximum efficiency and longer tool life,
the pressure of the air supplied to these tools should not exceed the rated PSI at the tool when the tool is
running.
Using a higher than rated pressure will cause faster wear and drastically shorten the tool's life. A higher
air pressure can also cause an unsafe condition. The inside diameter of the hose should be increased
to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8" I.D.
and fittings should have the same inside dimensions. The use of air line lubricators and air line filters is
recommended to prevent water in the line that can damage the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the
air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule to remove accumulated dirt or other matter that can
restrict air flow.
