Cleaning
• Keep your tool clean at all times. Dirt and dust will cause internal parts
to wear quickly, and shorten the machine’s service life. Clean the body of
your machine with a soft brush, or dry cloth
IMPORTANT: There is very little that can go wrong with your air tool and it
should be noted that when an air tool fails to work it is generally because
the internal workings have corroded due to dirty, wet air and failure to
follow the instructions given below.
Daily maintenance procedure: Disconnect from the air supply, pour the
equivalent of a tablespoon of oil into the air intake. Connect tool to the air
supply and run motor briefly (e.g. 2-4 seconds) at low speed to distribute
the oil.
Once a week: Disconnect tool from the air supply. Remove the hex screw
to open the Oil Point (6) marked ‘OIL’ and pour in a few drops of air tool
oil. Replace the hex screw and tighten to seal the oil point. Connect tool
to the air supply and run motor briefly (e.g. 2-4 seconds) at low speed to
distribute the oil.
• If the machine is in constant use or used for long periods at a time, a
combined filter/lubricator must be fitted. There must be an air filter fitted
at all times
