Page 5: Compressed Air Requirements
A typical air line layout is shown below. 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. CLARKE airline oil should be used and the lubricator adjusted to approx 2 drops per minute. - Page 6 A build-up of moisture or oil in the air compressor will accelerate wear and corrosion in the tool. Ensure any moisture is drained from the compressor daily and the inlet filter is kept clean. If an unusually long air hose is required, (over 8 metres), the line pressure or the hose inside diameter may need to be increased.
