1) Inspect the air hose for cracks or other problems. Replace the hose if worn.
2) Never point an air hose at another person.
3) Disconnect the tool when not in use, or before performing service or changing accessories.
4) Use proper hoses and fittings. Never use quick-change couplings attached at the tool. Instead,
add a hose and coupling between the tool and the air supply. The recommended hook-up is shown
in figure A. Pneumatic tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. For maximum efficiency and
longer tool life, the pressure of the air supplied to these tools should not exceed the rated PSI at the
tool when the tool is running.
Using a higher than rated pressure will cause faster wear and drastically shorten the tool's life.
A higher air pressure can also cause an unsafe condition. The inside diameter of the hose should
be increased to compensate for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter
should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the same inside dimensions. The use of air line
lubricators and air line filters is recommended to prevent water in the line that can damage the tool.
Drain the air tank daily. Clean the air inlet filter screen on at least a weekly schedule to remove
accumulated dirt or other matter that can restrict air flow.
