OPERATION
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before leaving the work area, moving the tool to another location, or handing the tool to another person. Failure to do so could result in serious personal injury.
CONNECTING THE TOOL TO AN AIR SUPPLY
See Figure 5.
DANGER:
Do not use oxygen, combustible gases or bottled gases as a power source for this tool. The tool will explode and cause death or serious injury.
This tool is designed to operate on clean, dry compressed air at regulated pressures between 70 and 120 psi . The correct air pressure is the lowest pressure that will do the job.
NOTE: Air pressure that is higher than 120 psi may damage the tool.
The tool and air hose must have a hose coupling that allows all pressure to be removed from the tool when the coupling is disconnected.
WARNING:
Always use a coupling that discharges all the compressed air in the tool at the time the fitting or hose coupling is disconnected. Using a coupling that does not discharge the compressed air could cause unintended operation and serious personal injury.
WARNING:
Do not climb rigging or scaffolding while carrying a tool that is connected to an air hose. Doing so could result in serious personal injury.
Connect the tool to the air supply with a 1/4 in. female quick connector. A 3/8 in. female quick connector may be used in situations where a 1/4 in. supply line is not available. For maximum tool performance, a 3/8 in. supply line and fittings are required.
