IMPORTANT: To operate correctly, this tool requires airflow of at least 3.5 cubic
feet per minute (SCFM) at 45 pounds per square inch (PSI) at the tool. Check
the specifications of your air compressor to be sure that it can support both
the minimum SCFM and PSI required. The air hose length could affect how
much air pressure the tool is actually receiving. You may need to adjust the
air pressure higher on the air regulator to achieve the max working pressure
of 45 PSI.
