AIR SUPPLYAND CONNECTIONS
Donot use oxygen, combustible gases, or bottled gases as a power source for this toolas
toolmay 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
disconnectedfrom the supply source.
HOSES:
Air hoses should have a minimum of 150 p.s.i. (10.6 kg/cm2)working pressure rating or 150 percent of the
maximumpressure that could be produced in the air system. Thesupply hose should contain a fitting that will
provide“quick disconnecting” from the male plug on the tool.
SUPPLYSOURCE:
Useonly cleanregulatedcompressedair as a power sourcefor this tool. NEVER USE OXYGEN,COMBUSTIBLE
GASES,ORBOTTLED GASES,AS A POWERSOURCEFOR THIS TOOLAS TOOLMAYEXPLODE.
REGULATOR:
Apressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0 - 125 p.s.i. (0 - 8.79 kg/cm2) is required to control the
operatingpressure for safe operation of this tool. Do not connect this tool to air pressure which can potentially
exceed200 p.s.i. (14 kg/cm2) as tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.
OPERATINGPRESSURE:
Do not exceed recommended maximum operating pressure as tool wear will be greatly increased. The air
supplymust be capable of maintaining the operating pressure at the tool. Pressure drops in the air supply can
reducethe tool’s driving power. Refer to “TOOL SPECIFICATIONS” for setting the correct operating pressure
forthe tool.
FILTER:
Dirtand 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
pressuredrop which will reduce the tool’s performance.
