IMpORtANt!
See Figure 7.
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air
system, air operated tools should be lubricated at least
once a day or after 2 hours of work with 2 - 6 drops
of oil, depending on the work environment, directly
through the male fitting in the tool housing.
LOADING AND OpERAtION
Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will damage
the tool.
■ Air tools should not be used in a potentially explosive
environment.
■ Only accessories recommended by the manufacturer
of the product are used.
■ Clean the air inlet filter weekly.
■ Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum
hose diameter should be 6.35 mm (1/4") I.D. and the
fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
■ Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check
hose for wear, and make sure that all connections are
secure.
■ Use the tool only for its intended purpose.
Cutting off tools shall not be used.
MAINtENANcE
■ Keep the product safe by regular maintenance.
■ Check that the maximum operating speed of the
accessories is higher than the rated speed of the tool.
■ Personal protective safety glasses shall be used;
gloves and protective clothing are recommended.
■ Personal protection and dust collection device shall be
chosen with regard to the material being worked upon.
■ Release the start and stop device in case of energy
supply failure.
■ No spare parts are to be used when these affect the
health and safety of operators.
■ Always keep your air tool clean and lubricated. Daily
lubrication is essential to avoid internal corrosion and
possible failure.
■ Lubricate the tool daily with a few drops of air tool oil
dripped into the air inlet.
WARNING
WARNING
■ Maintenance shall be performed weekly.
■ Drain the air tank daily. Water in the air line will
damage the product.
■ If the product cannot be used anymore, make sure to
dispose of it so as not to impose hazards on people
and the environment.
■ Air tool white oil is recommended for lubrication.
■ Only lubricants recommended by the manufacturer
should be used.
■ Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the
following:
Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or
–
restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of
hose connectors. To remedy check the air supply.
Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce
–
performance. If your model has an air strainer
(located in the area of the air inlet), remove the
strainer and clean it.
■ When not in use, disconnect from air supply, clean
tool and store in a safe, dry, childproof location. If the
tool cannot be used anymore, make sure to dispose
of it so as not to impose hazards to people and the
environment.
■ Check the speed after each service in relevant cases.
tROuBLEshOOtING
If any of the following symptoms appears during
operation, stop using the tool immediately, or serious
personal injury could result. Only qualified persons or
an authorised service centre can perform repairs or
replacement of the tool.
Disconnect tool from the air supply before attempting
repair or adjustment. When replacing O-rings or cylinder,
lubricate with air tool oil before assembly.
pROBLEM: tool runs at normal speed but fails under
load.
pOssIBLE cAusEs
■ Motor parts are worn.
■ Cam clutch (where fitted) is worn or sticking due to
lack of lubricant.
REMEDIEs
■ Lubricate clutch housing.
■ Check for excess clutch oil. Clutch cases need only
be half full. Overfilling can cause drag on high speed
clutch parts, i.e. a typical oiled/lubricated tool requires
14.20 ml (1/2 ounce) of oil.
Grease lubrication
NOtE: Heat usually indicates insufficient grease in
