Recommended Air Line Components

1.Incorporate a filter, regulator with pressure gauge, oiler, in-line shutoff valve, and quick coupler for best ser- vice, as shown in the diagram above.

An in-line shutoff ball valve is an important safety device because it controls the air supply even if the air hose is ruptured. The shutoff valve should be a ball valve be- cause it can be closed quickly.

Note: If an automatic oiler system is not used, add a few drops of Pneumatic Tool Oil into the airline connection be- fore operation. Add a few more drops after each hour of continual use.

2.Attach an air hose to the compres- sor’s air outlet. Connect the air hose to the air inlet of the tool. Other com- ponents, such as a coupler plug and quick coupler, will make operation more efficient, but are not required.

WARNING! TO PREVENT SERIOUS

INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:

Do not install a female quick coupler on the tool. Such a coupler contains an air valve that will allow the air tool to retain pressure and operate accidentally after the air supply is disconnected.

Note: Air flow, and therefore tool perfor- mance, can be hindered by under- sized air supply components.

3.The air hose must be long enough to reach the work area with enough extra length to allow free movement while working.

4.Release the Trigger.

5.Close the in-line safety valve be- tween the compressor and the tool.
