At 80 psi (5.5 bar) and 100 hits per minute, the tool consumes
approximately 4.5 cu.ft (125 ) of air per minute at 70°F (21°C).
Higher air pressure will increase the consumption of compressed air.
The tool is designed to be operated with a compressed air pressure
of 80 psi (5.5 bar). Occasionally, a higher pressure could be
necessary, for example to use the tool with different species of
harder wood. In these more difficult cases, the compressed air
pressure can be increased up to 110 psi (7.6 bar). It is very
important not to exceed this maximum pressure to prevent leaks and
risk of damage to the tool.
The tool may be fitted with the optional P-055 pressure release
valve. this valve will produce a loud noise if the maximum air
pressure is exceeded.
Check the compressed air supply hose before connecting to ensure
that they are free from dirt or particles that can alter the performance
of the tool. Pay special attention to any air leaks. Do not use a
compressed air pressure higher than 110 psi (7.6 bar). Higher
pressure can cause premature wear or damage to certain
components. After assembly, check all the connections to prevent
the leaks and to have maximum efficiency.
