Foreseen Use of the Tool
This tool is designed for the purposes of cleaning and restoring stone
and concrete, etc. and for cleaning and particularly removing paint and
rust, etc. from metals. The tool is powered by a free oscillating piston
which strikes a needle holder containing several hardened needles. The
needles have some free movement which allows the tool to clean
around irregular shaped surfaces.
Do not use the tool for any other purposes than that for which it was
designed. Do not modify the tool for any other purpose than that for
which it was designed even for its purposes as a needle scaler, unless
first agreeing any such alternative use or modifications, with the
manufacturer or an authorised representative. The main applications for
the tool is cleaning, deslagging and shot peening of welded joints,
cleaning metal surfaces of rust, scale and paint, cleaning castings,
removing cores, cleaning brick and stonework and cleaning ship
plates, barges and buoys.
Work Stations
The tool should only be used as a
handheld, hand operated tool. It is always
recommended that the tool is used when
standing on a solid floor. It can be used in
other positions but before any such use,
the operator must be in a secure position
having a firm grip and footing and be
aware of a reaction force on the hand as
result of the tool doing work.

Putting Into Service
Air Supply
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air pressure
at the tool of 90 p.s.i./6.3 bar when the tool is running with the trigger
fully depressed. Use recommended hose size and length. It is
recommended that the tool is connected to the air supply as shown in
figure 1. Do not connect the tool to the air line system without
incorporating an easy to reach and operate air shut off valve. The air
supply should be lubricated. It is strongly recommended that an air filter,
regulator, lubricator (FRL) is used as shown in Figure 1 as this will supply
clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool. Details of such
equipment can be obtained from your supplier. If such equipment is not
used then the tool should be lubricated by shutting off the air supply to
the tool, depressurising the line by pressing the trigger on the tool.
Disconnect the air line and pour into the intake bushing a teaspoonful
(5ml) of a suitable pneumatic motor lubricating oil preferably
incorporating a rust inhibitor. Reconnect tool to air supply and run tool
slowly for a few seconds to allow air to circulate the oil. If tool is used
frequently lubricate on daily basis and if tool starts to slow or lose power.
