AIR SUPPLY LINE Refer to Figure 1 (page 3)

o The air tool operates on compressed air at pressures from

60 to 100 PSi

• Never exceed maximum pressure Minimum air requirements for tool: Average working SCFM

3 2 at 90 PSt, WARNING: Keep hands and body away from discharge area

of tool when connecting air supply Nways disconnect tool

from air suppiy when servicing or adjusting tool and when to01 is not in use

• Air operated tools require clean, dry, lubricated com- pressed air to ensure top performance, Iow maintenance and long life

, Dirt and abrasive materials present in all air lines will dam-

age tool O-rings, valves and cylinders

° Moisture will _educe tool performance and life if not

removed from compressed air

• A filter-regulator-lubricator system is required and should be located as close to tool as possible (see Figure t, page 3),

A distance of less than 15 feet is recommended

,, Keep air filter clean, A dirty filter will reduce the air pressure

to the tooJ causing a reduction in power and efficiency,,

• Theairsupplysystemmustbeabletoprovideairpressure of60to100poundspersquareinchat tool,

° The lubricator should be filled with a non-detergent air tool

- All hoses and pipes in the air supply system must be clean and free of moisture and foreign particles,

° Never connect a female quick-disconnect coupling to the

tool side of air system A male, free-low coupling should

be connected to the toot side of air system

WARNING: The female couping provides a seal preventing 1

loss of compressed air from compressor tank when discon- nected from male coupling, If connected to tool side of air

supply, the female coupling could seal a compressed air charge in the too! which could discharge if the tool trigger is actuated

• Do not mount swivel connector in air supply line.

. The air pressure should be properly regulated

• Different workpiece materials and different fastener lengths

will require different operating pressure

. Be sure at connections in air supply system are sealed to

prevent alr loss

Figure 3 Contact Trip Operation

WARNING: All air power fastening tools recoil when operat-

ed, This recoil is caused by rapid driving of the fastener. Toot may bounce from recoil causing a second, unwanted fastener

to be driven Reduce tool bounce by holding toot firmly in

hand and pressing tool gently against workpiece. This will

allow recoil of tool to bounce away from workpiece preventing

the driving of second fastener.
