COMPRESSED AIR LINES AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY. • Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source. • Air compressors used with the air drill must comply with the appropriate European Community safety directives. • A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate wear and corrosion in the air drill.
IMPORTANT: If a filter/lubricator unit is not used, the air tool should be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil, at least once a day or after 2 hours work, depending upon the working environment. The oil can be inserted through the airline connection point. AIRLINE SAFETY • Never exceed the maximum operating pressure for the tool. A pressure of 90 psi with a flow of 16 cfm is required. Too high an air pressure will shorten the life of the tool due to excessive wear.
