COMPRESSED AIR REQUIREMENTS

WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR.
Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
Air compressors used with the tool 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 tool. Ensure any moisture is drained from the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.
If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.
The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating pressure of the air tool.
A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/regulator is used, it will keep the air tool in good condition, but should be regularly checked.
For optimum performance it is recommended that a 3/8” ID hose is used.
DO NOT exceed the maximum operating pressure. It is recommended that air pressure does not exceed 90 psi (6.2 bar). Higher pressures and dirty air will shorten the life of the blow gun due to faster wear and is a possible safety hazard.
