pressed air to ensure top performance, low maintenance
and long life.
o Dirt and abrasive materials present in atl air lines will dam
age tool O-rings, valves and cylinders..
o Moisture will reduce tool performance and life if net
removed from compressed air.
o A flfter-regulatorqubricator system is required and should be
located as close to tool as possible (see Figure 1, page 3)
A distance of less than 15 feet is recommended.
