intohard or brittle materials such as
concrete, steel or tile.
• Do not connect female quick-discon-
nect coupling to tool side of air line.

AIR SUPPLY LINE
Referto Figure 1.
• The air tooloperates on compressed
air at pressures from 60 to 100 PSI.
• Never exceed maximum pressure.
Minimum air requirements for tool:
Averageworking SCFM 2.6 at 90 PSI.
WARNING: Keep handsand body
away from discharge area of toolwhen
connectingair supply.Alwaysdiscon-
necttool from air supplywhen servicing
or adjustingtooland whentool is not in
use.
• Airoperatedtools require clean, dry,
compressedairto ensuretop perfor-
mance, lowmaintenance and long life.
• Dirt and abrasive materials present
in all air lines will damage tool
O-rings,valves and cylinders.
• Moisturewill reduce tool perfor-
mance and lifeif not removed from
compressed air.
• A filter-regulatorsystem is required
and shouldbe located as closeto
2Foot HoseWhip
tool as possible (see Figure 1). A
distance of lessthan 15 feet is re(:-
ommended.
• Keep air filter clean. A dirtyfilter will
reduce the air pressureto the tool
causing a reductionin powerand
efficiency.
• The air supplysystem must be able
to provide air pressureof 60 to 100
pounds per squareinchat tool.
• All hoses and pipes in the air supply
system must be clean and free of
moistureand foreign particles.
• Do not mountswivel connector in air
supplyline.
• The air pressura shouldbe properly
regulated.
• Differentworkpieco materials and

operatingpressure.
• Be sure all connectionsin air supply
systemare sealed to preventair loss.
Never connecta female quick*dis-
connectcouplingto the tool side of
