Regulator Use
The tank pressure is displayed on the pressure gauge that is closest to the pressure relief valve shown in Figure 6, and the air to be delivered to the tool is displayed on the pressure gauge adjacent to the ON/OFF lever.
The air tool that you attach to the air com- pressor may have a maximum pressure rating. If a PSI limit is required, adjust the air regulator to meet this requirement.
To control the air supply to your tool:
1.Adjust the regulator knob, shown in Figure 7, to set the PSI that will be delivered to your tool. Turn the knob clockwise to increase the pressure or counterclockwise to decrease the pres- sure.
