Use only the force required to maintain control. 2) Keep hands and body dry and warm. (Blood flow is important - exercise hands and arms as often as necessary.) 3) Keep wrists as straight as possible.

Page 9: Installation And Maintenance Tips
Installation and Maintenance Tips Following the guidelines will help you to ensure the pneumatic tools your company uses are operating and are maintained in the very best of condition. Initial Inspection of a New Tool When a new tool is delivered to your facility, it is important to inspect the tool for any signs of damage that may have occurred during shipping. - Page 10 Example: Tool rated at 6000 R.P.M. 90% of 6000 (.90 x 6000) = 5400 95% of 6000 (.95 x 6000) = 5700 The tool should run between 5400 and 5700 when tested with a tachometer. Tachometers must be checked and calibrated on a regular basis according to the manufacturers recommendations Mounting Abrasives The mounting of the abrasive used with the tool is very important to ensure safety for the operator and proper functioning of the tool.
- Page 11 A regulator adjusts the operating pressure supplied to the tool. This device generally is used with a pressure gauge that will indicate the current pressure setting. All Top Cat ® pneumatic tools are designed to operate at 90 PSI (6.2 bar) while the tool is running. The tool should never be run if the pressure should exceed 90 PSI (6.2 bar).

2) Direct injection of oil into the tool A simple and easy way to ensure proper lubrication is to inject the oil directly into the tool air inlet. This should be performed prior to storage of the tool. To perform this task one must have a small container of the proper lubricating oil.
