AIR SOURCE
Clean air of correct air pressure is recommended for the power supply for this
tool. A maximum of 90 PSI at the tool is recommended for most air tools of this
class. Check specifications section for recommended pressure. (Depending on
length of air hose and other circumstances, air pressure at compressor may
need to be increased to 100 PSI to ensure 90 PSI at the tool.)
Water in the air hose and compressor tank contributes to reduced performance
and damage of the air tool. Drain the air tank and filters before each use and as
necessary to keep the air supply dry.
Hose length over 25’ causes loss in line pressure. Increase hose I.D. or increase
compressor pressure to compensate for the pressure loss. Use an in-line pressure
regulator with gauge if air inlet pressure is critical.
Oil tool before each use.
4 to 5 drops of a good grade Air Tool Oil placed in the air inlet is
sufficient. Use proper air pressure and CFM rating listed for this tool.
Drain water from hoses and compressor tank. Water in the air supply line will cause
gumming and loss of power. Clean the air filter on the supply line and flush the
tool with gum solvent or a 50/50 mix of air tool oil and kerosene. It may be
necessary to disassemble the tool to properly clean and re-lubricate.
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
INSUFFICIENT POWER:
Probable Cause Solution
Dirty or clogged air passages..........Flush and lubricate tool, drain air tank
and supply line
Insufficient air supply........................Increase line pressure, make sure
compressor matches tool's air pressure
and consumption needs
Air leakage........................................Use PTFE tape at all fittings and joints.
Check tool for worn or damaged O-rings
& seals.
Worn/damaged wear & tear parts....Replace as necessary.
Tool matching...................................Be sure you are using a tool suited for
the lubing requirements of the
job at hand.
