Air Supply And Connections - Max HN65 Operating And Maintenance Manual

3. 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 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 tool is designed to operate within an air pressure range of 170 to 320 p.s.i. (12 to 23 bar.)
The pressure should be adjusted to the type of the work being fastened. The tool shall never be operated
when the operating pressure exceeds 320 p.s.i. (23 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
Gasoline
substances could be drawn into the compressor and compressed together with the air and this could result in
Thinner
an 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 completed
or suspended, when unattended, moving to a different work area, adjusting, disassembling, or repairing the
tool, and when clearing a jammed fastener.
[AIR COMPRESSOR / AIR HOSE]
Air compressor
Air hose
Used at 170 to 320 p.s.i. (12 to 23 bar)
NOTE:
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for the best performance. Oil added thru the air line
connection will lubricate the internal parts.
WHEN USING THE TOOL, BE SURE TO USE A SPECIAL AIR COMPRESSOR
AND AIR HOSE.
In order to improve its performance, it has set its working pressure higher than the
conventional nailers. To use the tool, you always need the special air compressor and
air hose (MAX PowerLite Compressor and MAX PowerLite Hose). Use of
high-pressure gas (for example, oxygen, acetylene, etc.) causes abnormal
combustion, possibly resulting in explosion. Use only the special air compressor and
air hose.
