2009/07/22 Air Tool Tips

Air tools can be finicky. If you don’t have the correct pressure, if you have water in your airlines, if you have lots of dust in the air (sanders and grinders have more issues with dust), your air tool may or may not run properly. You definitely won’t get a long life out of your tool. The following items are some general tips to make your life easier while using air tools.

1. Run air tools at their rated pressure. The recommended air pressure for most air tools in the shop is 90 to 100 psi. If you run air tools higher than the recommended air pressure the tool can explode.

2. Filter/Regulator/Lubricators (FRL) are very important for each tool. The filter prevents dirt and dust from getting into the tool. The regulator helps to regulate the air pressure and keep it within the recommended psi rating and the lubricator keeps the tool lubricated making it last longer. Only use lubricants recommended by the manufacturer.

3. Only use air hose that is rated for compressed air use. Unrated hose can crack, break and whip around, causing injuries.

4. Make sure there is no moisture in your air lines. Moisture makes bearings inside the tool corrode, and it leads to scaling inside the airline.
