AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
D
o not use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this tool as tool
may explode, possibly causing injury.
FITTINGS:
Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from the tool when disconnected
f
rom the supply source.
HOSES:
A
ir hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm2) working pressure rating or 150 percent of the maximum
pressure that could be produced in the air system. 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 this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN, COMBUSTIBLE
G
ASES, OR BOTTLED GASES, AS A POWER SOURCE FOR THIS TOOL AS TOOL MAY EXPLODE.
REGULATOR:
A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 - 125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 KG/CM
2
) is required to control the operat iing
pressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 p.s.i.
(14 KG/CM
2
) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.
OPERATING PRESSURE:
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air supply must
be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can reduce the tool’s
driving power. Refer to “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” for setting the correct operating pressure for the tool.
FILTER:
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of wear in pneumatic tools. A filter will help to get the best performance
and minimum wear from the tool. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific installation. The filter has to
be kept clean to be effective in providing clean compressed air to the tool. Consult the manufacturer’s instructions on proper
maintenance of your filter. A dirty and clogged filter will cause a pressure drop which will reduce the tool’s performance.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best performance. Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or
equivalent. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent tool maintenance. Only a few drops of oil at a time
is necessary. Too much oil will only collect inside the tool and will be noticeable in the exhaust cycle.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION:
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
We recommend the use of winter formula air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather
lubricant.
CAUTION: Do not store tools in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the
tools operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
NOTE:Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful to “O”-rings and seals – do not use these
low temperature air dryers without checking compatibility.
