Recommended hookup
The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum
of 70 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and inconsistent
driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through the
tool. A filter can be used to r emove liquid and solid
impurities which can rust or gum up internal parts of the
tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working
pressur e rating equal to or greater than the pressur e
from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi,
whichever is greater. Use 3/8’’ air hose for runs up to 50’
and use a 3/8’’ quick coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressur e regulator on the compressor, with an
operating pressur e of 0-125 psi. A pressure r egulator is
requir ed to control the operating pressure of the tool
between 60 psi and 100 psi for (Model#HDXFWS,
HDXBR50) and between 70 psi and 110 psi for (Model#
HDXST9040 ).
