Selecting compressor

• The air compressor must comply with the requirements of EN60335-2-
34.
Select a compressor that has ample pressure and air output to assure
cost-efficient operation. The graph shows the relation between nailing
frequency and compressor air output at a compression of 0.83MPa
(8.3bar). Thus, for exam-ple, when you drive about 10 nails 3.75 mm x 90
mm per minute, a compressor with an air output over 55l/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.
NOTE:
Nail size indicates diameter x length.

Selecting air hose
005367
• 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.
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
005368
filter) as close as possible to the tool. Adjust the oiler so that one drop of
oil will be provided for every 20 nails.
• When an air set is not used, oil the tool with pneumatic tool oil by placing
005369
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.
