INSTALLATION

Air Supply

The recommended hook-up is shown in Figure A. Pneumatic tools

operateonawiderangeofairpressures.Formaximumefficiency

and longer tool life, the pressure of the air supplied to these

tools MUSTnotexceedtheratedPSIatthetoolwhenthetoolis

running. Using a higher than rated pressure will cause faster wear

and drastically shorten the tool’s life. A higher air pressure can also

causeanunsafeconditionandexplosion.

The inside diameter of the hose should be

increased to compensate for unusually

long air hoses (over 25 feet).

Minimum hose diameter should be 3/8"

I.D. and fittings should have 1/4" NPT

thread.

The use of air line lubricators and air

line filters is recommended to prevent

water in the line that can damage the

tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the

air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly

schedule to remove accumulated dirt or

other matter that can restrict air flow.

The tool’s air inlet used for connecting

an air supply has standard 1/4" NPT

American thread.

Safety Rules For Pneumatic Tools

1) Inspect the air hose for cracks or other problems.

Replace the hose if worn.

2) Never point an air hose at another person.

3) Disconnect the tool when not in use, or before performing

service or changing accessories.

4) Use proper hoses and fittings. Never use quick change

couplings attached to the tool. Instead, add a hose and

coupling between the tool and the air supply.
