User-Maintenance Instructions
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure
in the tool, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise, vibration,
or leaking air occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
TO PREVENT SEROUS INJURY FROM EXPLOSION:
Lubricate the tool only with specified lubricants. Lubricate the air inlet using only
pneumatic tool oil. Lubricate the internal mechanism using only white lithium grease.
Other lubricants may damage the mechanism and may be highly flammable, causing an explosion.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance
explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. Daily - Air Supply Maintenance:
Every day, maintain the air supply according
to the component manufacturers' instructions.
Maintain the lubricator's oil level.
Drain the moisture filter regularly.
Performing routine air supply maintenance
will allow the tool to operate more safely
