AIR SUPPLY

DANGER

•NEVER use oxygen or other bottled gases. Explosion may occur.

WARNING

•Never connect Tool to pressure which potentially exceeds 200

•psi (13.7 bar 14 kgf/cm2).

Never use non relieving coupler on Tool.

1. Power Source

◯Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source for this Tool

◯Air compressors used to supply compressed air to this Tool must comply with the requirements of the latest version of ANSI Standard B 19.3 “Safety Standard For Compressors For Process Industries.”

◯Moisture or oil in the air compressor may accelerate wear and corrosion in the Tool.

Drain daily.

◯Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of undersized fittings and hoses or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will be slow operation, jamming, miss-feeds or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points con‑ taining water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.

2. Filter-Regulator-Lubricator

◯A pressure regulator with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi

(0-8.6 bar 0-8.8 kgf/cm2) is required to control the operating pressure for safe operation of this Tool. Do not connect this Tool to air pressure which can potentially exceed 200 psi as Tool may fracture or burst, possibly causing injury.

◯Filter-Regulator-Lubricator units supply an optimum condition for the Tool and extend the Tool life.
