AIR SOURCE
1. Disconnect air supply. Disconnect tools from air pressure source when not in use, before cleaning, servicing or
changing a piece or accessory. After disconnecting, discharge any residual air pressure.
2. Do not use tools if the trigger switch does not function properly. Any tool that cannot be controlled with the
ON/OFF switch is dangerous and must be repaired.
3. Use proper size and type of air pressure line and fittings. The recommended air line for a tool with a 1/4" inlet
is 3/8" I.D.
4. Always verify prior to using a tool that the air source has been adjusted to the rated air pressure or within the
rated air-pressure range. Over pressurizing a tool may cause bursting, abnormal operation, breakage of the
tool or serious injury to persons. Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at the rated range as marked
on the tool.
5. Never use pure oxygen, carbon dioxide, combustible gases or any bottled gas as an air source for a tool.
Such gases are capable of causing an explosion and serious injury to persons. Do not use an air source
besides an air compressor to power this tool.
6. Always use an air regulator, an in-line filter and a moisture trap in your compressed air system. These
accessories will increase the tool's life and keeps the tool in good working condition. See the diagram above
for recommended components of an air line.
7. Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage the tool.
8. Clean air inlet filter weekly.
9. Avoid using too long of an air hose. The longer the hose, the lower the pressure will be at the end of the hose,
to the point that it may not meet the minimum required for the tool. As well, a longer hose can become a
tripping hazard.
10. Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check hose for wear, and make certain that all
connections are secure.
11. Always carry a tool by its handle, never by the air hose.
12. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 ft). The hose
diameter should be 3/8" l.D.
13. Air tool CFM consumption ratings are based upon a 25% duty cycle. If you require continuous duty,
a larger compressor will be required (eg. 4.0 CFM tool at continuous duty requires 16.0 CFM to
function at maximum torque).
