 Technical Recommendations
for 3M™ Air-Powered Tools
- Use a clean, lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure at the tool of 6.2 bar (90 psig) when the tool is running with the lever fully depressed.
- Use an approved 10 mm (3/8 in) x 8 m (25 ft) maximum
length air line.
- Connect the tool to the air supply as shown in Figure 1.
- It is strongly recommended that an air filter, regulator and lubricator (FRL) be used as shown in Figure 1, to supply clean,
lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. If such
equipment is not used, the tool should be manually lubricated.
To manually lubricate the tool:
- Disconnect the air line and put 2 to 3 drops of suitable pneumatic
motor lubricating oil, such as 3M™ Air Tool Lubricant 20451,
into the hose end (inlet) of the tool.
- Reconnect tool to the air supply and run tool slowly for a few
seconds to allow air to circulate the oil.
- Lubricate daily if the tool is used frequently or if the tool
starts to slow or lose power.
- Tools can be run at lower pressures, but should never be
run higher than 6.2 bar (90 psig). If run at lower pressure
the performance of the tool is reduced.
