The air compressor must comply with the requirements

of ANSI B19.3.

Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air

output to assure cost-efficient operation. The graph

shows the relation between nailing frequency,

applicable pressure and compressor air output.

Thus, for example, if nailing takes place at a rate of

approximately 60 times per minute at a compression of

7.0 kgf/cm

G (100 PSIG), a compressor with an air

output over 2 CFM ( ft

/minute) is required.

Pressure regulators must be used to limit air pressure to

the rated pressure of the tool where air supply pressure

exceeds the tool's rated pressure. Failure to do so may

result in serious injury to tool operator or persons in the

vicinity.

Selecting air hose

004294

Use an air hose as large and as short as possible to

assure continuous, efficient nailing operation. With an air

pressure of 5.0 kgf/cm

G (70 PSIG), an air hose with an

internal diameter of over 6.5 mm (1/4") and a length of

less than 20 m (6.6 ft.) is recommended when the interval

between each nailing is 0.5 seconds. Air supply hoses

shall have a minimum working pressure rating of 10.7

kgf/cm

G (150 PSIG) or 150 percent of the maximum

pressure produced in the system whichever is higher.

CAUTION:

• Low air output of the compressor, or a long or

smaller diameter air hose in relation to the nailing

frequency may cause a decrease in the driving

capability of the tool.

Lubrication

004295

To insure maximum performance, install an air set (oiler,

regulator, air filter) as close as possible to the tool.

Adjust the oiler so that one drop of oil will be provided

for every 50 nails.

When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic

tool oil by placing 2 (two) or 3 (three) drops into the air

fitting. This should be done before and after use. For

proper lubrication, the tool must be fired a couple of

times after pneumatic tool oil is introduced.
