Lubrication

In most cases for perodic tool use, manual lubrication is sufficiant. However, if the tool is to be used on a consistent basis, we recommend installing an automatic oiler to eliminate dry runs and ensure maximum tool life. The two methods are explained below.

Manual Lubrication: Every two hours of use, place a few drops of air tool oil in the air inlet fitting and at all pivot points. Do not use motor oil as the additives can corrode the tool seals. Next, connect the tool to the air line and cover the exhaust port (see Figure 1, on Page 5) with a rag. Position the end of the tool safely away from you, and run the tool for 30 seconds to completely circulate the oil through the tool and into the rag.

Automatic Lubrication: Adjust the automatic in-line oiler. Place a sheet of paper next to the exhaust port, run the tool at three or four 30-second intervals. When finished, the paper should show a slight oil stain. If no oil is seen or excessive oil drips from the paper, adjust the oiler and repeat this process until the adjustment is correct. See Figure 3 for location.

Daily Maintenance

Before and after each use:

•Check and replace any leaking air fittings; bubbled, cut, or worn hoses.

•Drain water from the compressor tank, water filter separator reservoirs, and lubricate the pneumatic shear.

Periodically as required:

•Clean the filter screen behind the air inlet fitting (see Figure 1).

•If used, check and adjust any automatic in-line oiler as required to maintain a fine oil mist at the tool.

•Sharpen dulled jaws edges by removing both jaw retaining cap screws (see Figure 1), and the jaws. Next use a dressing stone at the locations shown below. Do not use a grinder.
