Installing The Air Supply
The machine must be connected to a compressed air system by hose or pipe. The com- pressed air must be clean and dry. It may be necessary for you to purchase an air drier/filter. Please note the following:
The air flow and pressure requirements are listed on page 7.
The minimum inner pipe diameter for the machine is 12".
The dust collector should have a separate 3 4” pipe, to provide isolation of the machine air supply from the pulsing of the dust collector.
Clean dry shop air can be used as an assist gas for cutting some materials. To cut aluminum with air you must supply (at least) an additional 22.0 ft3/min. at 200 p.s.i.
The air inlet is at floor level at the rear of the machine.
The air must be dry at ambient temperature.
The air must meet the specifications on page 7.
