- IMPORTANT: Prior to installation of the air line gauge ensure
the air supply line is clear and drain off the compressor tank
and pipework. Connect the air line gauge to a pressure
vessel (tyre) and actuate the calibrated indicator assembly
approximately 10 operations up/down scale.
- ACCURACY: (EC DIRECTIVE 86/217)
This air line gauge has been calibrated in its normal working
position on test equipment with an accuracy that is traceable
to the UK National Standard through the National Physical
Laboratory Reference 08010/C4/1/P383 via a system of
calibration which includes Dead Weight Tester, Serial
No.4361, Piston Unit No.:A890. Dead Weight Tester
calibrated at Theta Systems Ltd. - Namas Laboratory No.409.

1. Always wear safety goggles or glasses.
2. Always ensure machine is switched off before connecting to air
supply.
3. Disconnect any machine from the air supply before changing
blades or discs, and before servicing any type of machine.
4. Always keep your air tool clean and lubricated. Daily lubrication is
essential to avoid internal corrosion and possible failure.
5. Do not wear watches, rings, bracelets or loose clothing when using
air tools.
6. Using only light weight coil hoses from a tool to the wall or
compressor coupling. Do not fit quick change couplings onto the
machine as vibration can cause the coupling to fail.
7. Do not overload the machine. Allow the tool to operate at its
optimum speed for maximum efficiency.
8. Do not increase the air pressure above the manufacturer's
recommended level, as excessive overload can cause the machine
casing to split. Also this creates excessive wear on moving parts
and possible failure.
9. In the interests of safety and possible damage to the
machine/operator, always ensure that the machine has stopped
before putting it down after use.
10. Always ensure that the workpiece is firmly secured leaving both
hands free to control the machine.
11. Always ensure that the accessories such as blades, discs, sockets,
etc. are rated/designed for use with the machine. Also correctly
and securely fastened before connecting the machine to the air
supply.
- AIR SUPPLY:
Tools in the range generally operate at a maximum
pressure of 13.8 bar (see specifications) and this should be
controlled via a combined regulator/water separator such
as the Draper 4222/4 unit which with proper
maintenance will ensure a constant supply of dry air at all
times. See Fig.1. Always check tool operating pressure
before use.
Water in the compressor tank will cause serious corrosion
to your air tools and should be drained daily to avoid
excessive water in your air supply. Dirty wet air rapidly
shortens the life of your air tool.
If you are using an air tool on a hose over 25ft. long it is
advisable to increase the bore of the hose to the next larger size available ie.1⁄4" increases 3⁄8". This will ensure adequate pressure and
volume of air to power the tool.
- OPERATION (Fig.1):
Air tools without inbuilt regulators vary the pressure on your air supply regulator.Push or clip the connector accordingly over the valve
to take the pressure reading. To inflate, fully depress the trigger and release to take the new pressure reading. To deflate, slightly
depress the trigger. Air will be heard to be escaping while this position is maintained. Remove connector from valve and replace valve
cover if applicable.
- NOTE: Observe manufacturer's inflation levels. Do not use on toy inflatables as damage will occur.
