AIR SUPPLY AND CONNECTIONS
Read section titled "SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS"
Do not use any power source except an air compressor.
The tool is designed to operate on compressed air. Do not operate the tool on any other highpressure
gas, combustible gases (e.g., oxygen, acetylene, etc.) since there is the danger of an explosion. For
this reason, absolutely do not use anything other than an air compressor to operate the tool.
Operate within the proper air pressure range.
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work. The tool shall never be operated when the
operating pressure exceeds 8 bar.
Do not operate the tool near a flammable substance.
Never operate the tool near a flammable substance (e.g., thinner, gasoline, etc.). Volatile fumes from
these substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air and this
could result in a explosion.
Do not use a wrong fittings.
The connector on the tool must not hold pressure when air supply is disconnected. If a wrong fitting is
used, the tool can remain charged with air after disconnecting and thus will be able to drive a fastener
even after the air line is disconnected, possibly causing injury.
Disconnect the air supply and empty the magazine when the tool is not in use.
Always disconnect the air supply from the tool and empty the magazine when operation has been com-
pleted or suspended, when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, disassembling, or
repairing the tool, and when clearning a jammed fastener.
Fittings : Install a male plug on the tool which is free flowing and which will release air pressure from
the tool when disconnected from the supply source.
Hoses : Hose has a min. ID of 1/4" and max length of no more than 5 meters. The supply hose should
contain a fitting that will provide "quick disconnecting" from the male plug on the tool.
Supply source : Use only clean regulated compressed air as a power source for the tool.
Piece airset (Air filter, regulator, oiler) : Refer to "tool specifications" for setting the correct operating
pressure for the tool.
NOTE :
A filter will help to get the best performance and minimum wear from the tool because dirt and water in
the air supply are major causes of wear in the tool.
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best performance. Oil added thru the air line
connection will lubricate the internal parts.
