THE COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLY
AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
WARNING: COMPRESSED AIR CAN BE DANGEROUS. ENSURE THAT YOU
ARE FAMILIAR WITH ALL PRECAUTIONS RELATING TO THE USE OF
COMPRESSORS AND COMPRESSED AIR SUPPLIES.
• Use only clean, dry, regulated compressed air as a power source.
• Air compressors used with the impact wrench must comply with the
appropriate European Community Safety Directives.
• A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate
wear and corrosion in the impact wrench. ensure any moisture is
drained from the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean.
• Line pressure, or hose ID., should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 10M). Minimum hose dia. should be
6mm (1/4") ID., and fittings should have the same inside dimensions.
• The air hose must be rated at least 150% of the maximum operating
pressure of the tool.
• A typical air line layout is shown above. If an automatic in-line filter/
regulator is used, it will keep the tool in good condition, but should
be regularly checked and topped up with oil. SAE 10 oil should be
used, and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute.
