Operation; Troubleshooting; Lubrication And Maintenance - Matco Tools MT2215 Manual

FEATURES
• Improved blade guard to better seat the saw blade.
• Ergonomic composite housing.
• Smooth action safety throttle lever.
• Cuts pipe, mild steel, aluminum, plastic, and sheet metal.
• Anti vibration feature allows for less hand fatigue in operation.
• Includes MT14 1/4" Swivel

OPERATION

Speed adjustment is achieved through variable pressure on the trigger. Increasing the pressure will increase the speed of the blade.
NOTE: During operation, safety goggles should always be worn to guard against flying debris (users & bystanders).
TO CHANGE BLADES
1. Detach from air supply
2. Loosen #108 set screws with 3mm hex key wrench.
3. Remove old blade and insert new blade into #102 blade holder, and tighten #108 set screws.
AIR SUPPLY
Tools operate on a wide range of air pressures. It is
recommended that air pressure measures 90 psig at the tool
with the trigger fully depressed and no load applied to the tool.
Higher pressure (over 90 psig; 6.2 bar) raises performance
beyond the rated capacity of the tool, which will shorten tool life
and could cause injury.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or water in
the air line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the water from
air lines and compressor prior to running tool. Clean the air inlet
filter screen weekly. The recommended hookup procedure can
be viewed in the below figure.
The air inlet used for connecting air supply has standard 1/4"
NPT. Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter
should be 3/8" I.D. and fittings should have the same inside
dimensions and be tightly secured.
WARNING
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed
in the air supply line and make others aware of its location.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic
action. Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line,
moisture or restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections
of improper size or poor conditions may reduce air supply. Grit or
gum deposits in the tool may cut power and may be corrected by
cleaning the air strainer and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil
or an equal mixture of SAE #10 and kerosene. If outside conditions
are in order, disconnect tool from hose and take tool to your nearest
authorized service center.
LUBRICATION & MAINTENANCE
Lubricate the air motor daily with high quality air tool oil. If no air
line oiler is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can
be squirted into the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest
connection to the air supply, then run the tool. A rust inhibitive
oil is acceptable for air tools.
WARNING
After an air tool has been lubricated, oil will discharge through
the exhaust port during the first few seconds of operation. The
exhaust port must be covered with a towel before applying air
pressure to prevent serious injury.
