3 Compressed air system
Proper functioning of the
fastener driving tool requires
filtered, dry and lubricated
compressed air in adequate
quantities.
If the air pressure in the line system exceeds the maximum allowable of the
fastener driving tool, a pressure reducing
valve followed by a downstream safety valve shall additionally be fitted in the
supply line to the tool.
NOTE: When compressed air is generated by compressors, the natural moisture
in the air condenses and collects as condensed water in pressure vessels and
pipelines. This condensate must be removed by water separators.
These water separators must be checked on a daily basis and if necessary
drained, since corrosion can otherwise develop in the compressed air system and
in the fastener driving tool. Which serves to accelerate wear.
The compressor plant shall be adequately dimensioned in terms of pressure
output and performance (volumetric flow) for the consumption which is to be
expected. Line sections which are too small in relation to the length of the line
