1 . The air compressor
must be able to
maintain a minimum
of 70 psi when the
tool is being used . An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving .
2 . An oiler can be
used to provide oil
circulation through
the tool . A filter can
be used to remove liquid and solid
impurities which can rust or "gum
up" internal parts of the tool .
3 . Always use air supply hoses with
a minimum working pressure
rating equal to or greater than the
pressure from the power source if a
regulator fails, or 150 psi, whichever
is greater . Use 3/8 inch air hose for
runs up to 50 feet . Use 1/2 inch air
hoses for 50 foot run or longer . For
better performance, install a 3/8 inch
quick plug (1/4 inch NPT threads)
with an inside diameter of .315 inch
(8mm) on the tool and a 3/8 inch
quick coupler on the air hose .
150 psi or greater
3/8 inch I .D .
4 . Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating
pressure of 0 - 125 psi . A pressure
regulator is required to control
the operating pressure of the tool
between 70 and 120 psi .

not operate the tool if the WCE trip
mechanism is not operating properly.
Personal injury may occur.
