A faulty compressed air connection and a high
proportion of water in the compressed air may
cause water to escape at the connection point.
Therefore, ensure that the hose connection is
correct and that the water content in the
compressed air is low (drain the water
separator regularly).
If no dried air is available, the customer must
install a water absorber.
Before connection, remove impurities by
blowing air through the compressed air
hose using a compressed air gun.
4.2.2 Filter pressure reducer
The air from compressed-air systems is usually
contaminated and has accumulated moisture.
Therefore, a filter pressure reducer with water
separator should be installed between the

only controls the operating pressure but cleans
and drains the compressed air. In addition, this
improves on the usefulness and increases the
service life of the pneumatic circular saw
significantly.
The filter pressure reducer should be installed
as close as possible to the pneumatic circular
saw.
Set the operating pressure on the filter
pressure reducer to max. 8 bar.
You can purchase a suitable filter pressure
reducer on request from our sales department
at Schmid & Wezel.
