Air Pressure And Air Volume - Westfalia 82 40 87 Instruction Manual

2. Seal the thread of the air inlet (2) with Teflon tape before you screw on the
quick coupling adaptor (1).
3. The air pencil grinder has to be provided with lubricating oil during operation.
Before each use add oil through the air fitting or use an oil-fog lubricator.
Alternatively you can use the supplied inline oiler (3). Also pay attention to the
chapter "Lubrication".
4. Connect the air quick coupling adaptor of
the pencil grinder to the compressor. Switch
on the compressor and setup a pressure of
approx. 6.3 bar.
5. Firmly hold the pencil grinder with one hand
and turn the speed regulator ring (7) with the
other hand towards the ON symbol to start-
up the pencil grinder. The further the speed
regulator is turned, the faster the unit runs.
The proper speed depends on the tool used
and the type of material to be processed.
While working hold the unit firmly with your
hand. Hold it like holding a pen.
6. Turn the speed regulator as far as it will go
towards the OFF symbol to turn off the
pencil grinder.
7. First disconnect the pencil grinder from the
air supply when exchanging the grinding bit,
when not using the unit, after finished work-
ing and when applying maintenance work.

Air Pressure and Air Volume

 Operate the pencil grinder with a pressure of approx.6.3 bar. When using
higher pressure than the max. permitted pressure of 8 bar for operating the air
pencil grinder, self life of the tool will be reduced drastically. Operate the pencil
grinder using a compressor with an air suction capacity of at least 170 l/min.
The ideal capacity is provided by compressors with a suction capacity of 200 –
300 l/min.
 Only use air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. When setting up
the air pressure, always keep in mind that the pressure will decrease by ap-
prox. 0.6 bar when using a 10 m long hose with an inner diameter of 9 mm.
