commercial solvents and maybe damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirts, dust, oil, grease, etc.

COLD WEATHER
The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum
of 0 psi when the tool is being used. An inadequate air 6
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 remove liquid and solid
impurities which can rust or gum up internal parts of the
tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working
pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure 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 pressure regulator on the compressor, with an
operating pressure of 0 -125 psi. A pressure regulator is
required to control the operating pressure of the tool
between 0 psi and 110 psi .6
