Putting into Service
A I R S U P P LY
All tools are operated with compressed air at an optimum pressure of 5.5 bar. We recommend the use of pressure regulators
and automatic oiling/filtering systems on the main air supply. These should be fitted within 3 metres of the tool (see diagram
below) to ensure maximum tool life and minimum tool maintenance.
Air supply hoses should have a minimum working effective pressure rating of 150% of the maximum pressure produced in the
system or 10 bar, whichever is the highest. Air hoses should be oil resistant, have an abrasion resistant exterior and should
be armoured where operating conditions may result in hoses being damaged. All air hoses MUST have a minimum bore
diameter of 6.4 millimetres or 1/4 inch.

When placing Standard Nutserts, lubricate the drive screw of the tool every 25 placings. This is best
achieved by wiping the drive screw with a sponge soaked with STP Lubricant part number 07992-00013.
