this manual.
Important: Always disconnect from the air supply before
assembling, carrying out adjustments, servicing or
maintenance.
Fig. 2
• This air tool operates at a max. pressure of 6.2bar
(90psi).
• The compressed air system must be controlled by a
combination pressure regulator, in-line lubricator and
moisture lter. This will ensure a constant supply of
dry air at all times, provided it is properly maintained.
• Important: Always check the machine operating
pressure before use.
• Water in the compressor tank may cause considerable
corrosion to air tools; the compressor should be
drained daily to avoid excessive water in the air
supply. Dirty or wet air can signicantly shorten the
lifespan of the product.
• When using an air tool with a hose over 25ft long,
Draper Tools recommends increasing the bore of the
hose to the next largest available size (i.e. increase
3/8” to 1/2”). This will ensure adequate pressure and
volume of air to power the tool.
