Selecting compressor

•
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 40 times per
minute at a compression of 0.59 MPa (5.9 bar), a compressor with an air
output over 3 CFM (ft
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 0.49 MPa (4.9 bar), an
air hose with an internal diameter of over 8.5 mm (5/16") 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 1.03 MPa (10.3 bar) 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
•
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 30 nails.
