Dirt, dust, and otherparticlesinthe airsupplycan cause
sluggishoperation orprematurewearofmanycomponentsof
the tool. Drain waterfromthe compressortankregularly.The
compressorstart-stop limitsshouldbe set to deliveran air
pressureofat least100 psi(7bar) at all times.Consultthe
compressormanualordealerforinstructionson howto make
thisadjustment.
At80 psi(5.5 bar) and 100 hitsperminute, thistoolconsumes
approximately4.7cu.ft(130R)ofairperminuteat70EF(21EC).
Higherairpressurewill increasethe consumption of
compressed air.
Thistoolisdesigned to be operated with acompressedair
pressureof 80 to 100 psi(5.5-7.0 bar).Airpressureof90 psi
(6.2bar)isadequateformostsituations,althoughoccasionally,
ahigherpressurecouldbe necessary.Alwaysusethe toolsat
minimumoperating pressureinorderto avoidunnecessary
highnoiselevel.In thesemoredifficultcases,thecompressed
airpressurecan be increased up to 100 psi(7.0 bar).It isvery
important not to exceed this maximumpressureto prevent
leaks, premature wearordamagesto the tool.
Checkthe compressed airsupplyhosebeforeconnecting to
ensurethat itisfree fromdirtorparticlesthat can alterthe
performanceofthe tool.Payspecialattention to anyairleaks.
Do not useacompressed airpressurehigherthan 110 psi
(7.6 bar).Higherpressurecan causeprematurewearor
damage to certaincomponents.Afterassembly,checkall the
connectionsto prevent the leaksand to havemaximum
efficiency.
