Conditions for the supplied compressed air
• Connect the device to clean, dry air at a pressure which is not above the maximum working pressure
according to the technical data provided for this device. If higher pressure is applied, the durability of the
device is considerably reduced and moreover severe accidents might be caused.

cross sections and sizes (refer to the illustration above).
• Do not directly mount any quick action coupling to the handle of the machine.
• In order to work properly with the device the compressor power must be at least 10% higher than the
indicated consumption of the compressed air tool.

Lubrication
• Use a compressed air line oiler which is preset to two (2) drops of oil per minute. If you do not dispose of
such equipment, add special oil for compressed air tools in the air supply line once per day.
