Air Line Filters

The EM83A/EM-83AS breaker consumes 88 CFM of air in continuous operation. Normal use is intermittent, so the average consumption will be lower than 88 CFM, the extent depending upon the type of usage. However always make sure that there is more than 88 CFM available on the air line by checking output of compressor and number of connected, operating, tools.

We recommend an air line separator to remove moisture which Is usually present in air lines.' Also it is Important 'to have a filter to remove any particles. These air line accessories should be as close to the tools as operation will permit.

The pipes and/or hoses leading to the tool should be of the minimum recommended diameter. For the EM83A/EM-83AS breaker the size is 3/1111 Internal diameter.

All Edicon demolition tools require air at a steady 80-90 PSIG (5.6-6.3 bar) pressure. The air should be clean (filtered) and dry (moisture free).
