The Mitre-Mite VN 42 works by compressed air and is
controlled by a foot pedal & a thumb-button that allows the
activation of the frontal clamp,vertical clamp and V-nail
firing.
Attach your airline to the machine by using the provided
fast clutch fitting or a different fast clutch fitting suitable
with your pneumatic system.
Screw the fitting (see fig. 3-4) into the air filter located on
the right side of the floor stand.
Take the pressure gauge out from the floorstand and screw it
onto the air filter. Then connect your air supply line to the
machine.
It is advisable that you use silicone oil for
pneumatic systems. Avoid generic lubricating
oil. The use of inappropriate oil could damage
