User-Maintenance

Instructions

Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.

To prevent serious injury

from accidental operation:

Turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the throttle and/or turn the switch to its off position before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.

To prevent serious injury from tool failure:

Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise, vibration, or leaking air occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.

To prevent explosion: Lubricate the tool only with specified lubricants. Lubricate the air inlet using only pneumatic tool oil. Lubricate the internal mechanism using only white lithium grease. Other lubricants may damage the mechanism and may be highly flammable, causing an explosion.

Cleaning, Maintenance, and

Lubrication

Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.

1.Daily - Air Supply Maintenance: Every day, perform maintenance on the air supply according to the component manufacturers’ instructions. The lubricator’s oil level needs to be maintained and the moisture filter must be regularly drained. Performing routine maintenance on the air supply will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.

2.Weekly - Grease Lubrication: Lubricate the internal mechanism of the tool, using white lithium grease through the grease fittings. See

Lubrication Diagram below.

3.Quarterly (every 3 months) - Tool Disassembly, Cleaning, and Inspection:

Have the internal mechanism cleaned, inspected, and lubricated by a qualified technician. If the vanes need replacement, all vanes should be replaced as a set.
