3. PREPARING TOOL FOR USE
3.1. Air Supply
3.1.1. Ensure tool valve (or trigger) is in the "off" position before connecting to the air supply.
3.1.2. You will require an air pressure of 90psi, and an air flow according to specification.
3.1.3. p WARNING! Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed 90 psi while operating the tool.
Too high an air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product life due to excessive wear, and may be
dangerous causing damage and/or personal injury.
3.1.4. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
3.1.5. Clean air inlet filter weekly. Recommended hook-up procedure is shown in fig 1.
3.1.6. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres).
The minimum hose diameter should be 1/4” I.D. and fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
3.1.7. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
3.2. Couplings.
Vibration may cause failure if a quick change coupling is connected directly to the tool. To overcome this,
connect a leader hose to the tool. A quick change coupling may then be used to connect the leader hose to the
air line recoil hose. See fig 1 & 2.

These values are suitable for comparison with emission levels of other tools that have been subject to the
same test.
This tool may cause hand-arm vibration syndrome if its use is inadequately managed.
This is a ‘NO LOAD’ vibration figure.
A competent person should carry out a risk assessment following HSE guidelines.
Measurement results can be highly variable, depending on many factors, including the operator's technique,
the condition of the work equipment, the material being processed and the measurement method.
