VIII. Inspection

WARNING: All inspections and/or any main- tenance is to be performed with the air supply disconnected from the tool.

Inspect and maintain the following items daily:

1.Check the air gun for any loose bolts or air leaks. Loose bolts should be retight- ened. Make sure that all lock washers are in place. Air leaks are an indication that internal seals are worn and should be replaced.

2.Make sure the safety nose and trigger are functioning properly. Repair as neces- sary. Do not use the gun with a broken or modified safety nose.

3.The air gun should be kept clean. Wipe off with a clean cloth daily.

4.If there is any mechanical problem with the tool, it must be taken out of service and repaired. If waiting for parts or repair, the tool must be tagged “do not use” and removed from the work area.

5.Inspect air hoses and fittings for wear and tear and replace if necessary.

6.Inspect the air compressor to ensure that it is operating properly. Follow the manu- facturer’s recommended maintenance schedule.

7.Inspect the automatic lubricating system if applicable and fill as required. Inspect the in-line air and water filters if applica- ble and change or clean as necessary.

8.Inspect the compressor regulator and/or in-line regulator to ensure that they are set correctly. Adjust accordingly.

9.Oil regularly. See Section VI.B.
