Maintenance - Husky F226VWD Operator's Manual

WARNING
When servicing, use only identical Husky replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard or
cause product damage.
WARNING
Do not attempt to modify this product or create
Always wear safety goggles or safety glasses with side
shields during power tool operation or when blowing dust.
If operation is dusty, also wear a dust mask.
WARNING
Always release all pressure, disconnect from power
supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before cleaning
or making repairs on the air compressor.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Humidity in the air causes condensate to form in the air tank.
This condensate should be drained daily and/or every hour,
using the instructions found in Draining the Tank.
The pressure relief valve automatically releases air if the air
receiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the
pressure relief valve before each use following the instructions
found in Checking the Pressure Relief Valve.
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other imperfections
that could cause it to become unsafe.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline, petroleum-
based products, penetrating oils, etc., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage, weaken or
destroy plastic which may result in serious personal
injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass material, wallboard,
spackling compounds, or plaster are subject to accelerated
wear and possible premature failure because the fiberglass
chips and grindings are highly abrasive to bearings,
brushes, commutators, etc. Consequently, we do not
recommended using this tool for extended work on these
types of materials. However, if you do work with any of
these materials, it is extremely important to clean the tool
using compressed air.

MAINTENANCE

LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
