Maintenance and Cleaning
▪
To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent lubrication
and maintenance is essential.
▪
For operating pneumatic tools clean air is required. Corrosion
residues, dust and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the efficiency
of the tool and will cause technical problems. An upstream mainte-
nance unit consisting of filter, pressure regulator valve and lubricating
equipment removes moisture and dirt from the air, controls the operat-
ing pressure and supplies the tool perfectly with lubricating oil.
▪
If necessary clean the units and the accessory with a moist cloth.
▪
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or thinner,
which may dissolve plastic parts.
▪
Do not allow liquids to enter the tools and never immerse them into
liquids. Water in the compressed air inlet can damage the machine.
Therefore it is recommended to drain the air lines and the compressor
regularly! Also clean the air filters on a regular basis.

Lubrication

Pneumatic tools always have to be lubricated sufficiently. This is done
continuously and safest by using an oil-fog lubricator. If the oiler is
mounted centrally at the compressor or mounted firmly at the end of the
compressed-air pipe installation, only use a hose with a length of max. 10
m. If the hose is longer, the nebulisation disappears in the air. The oil
floats inside the hose and does not arrive at the air tool.

Oiler Setting

Hose up to 5 m every 2 min. 1 drop
Hose up to 10 monce a min.1 drop
If you do not have an oiler at your disposal, please put a few drops of oil
into the compressed air connection before every machine usage. Lubricate
the air tool once more after use, especially if you do not operate the unit for
a long time. Further maintenance work is not necessary.
