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 maintenance unit consisting of filter, pressure regulator valve and lubricating
equipment removes moisture and dirt from the air, controls the operating 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.

Storing

▪
Store all parts of the set in a dust and dirt-free location, between 10 °C and 30 °C.
