Maintenance; General Maintenance - Husky H1506F 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:
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 sup-
ply, 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 safety valve automatically releases air if the air re-
ceiver pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the
safety valve before each use following the instructions
found in Checking the Safety Valve.
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other imper-
fections that could cause it to become unsafe.

MAINTENANCE

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.
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, wall-
board, 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. Con-
sequently, 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.
LUBRICATION
All of the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a suffi-
cient amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit
under normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further
lubrication of the bearings is required.
