Maintenance Instructions
Maintenance and service instructions
The service must only be done by authorized workshops or qualified service technicians.
WARNING Polymer hazard
The vanes in this product contain PTFE (a synthetic fluoropolymer). Due to wear, there might be
PTFE particles inside the product. Heated PTFE can produce fumes which may cause polymer fume
fever with flu-like symptoms, especially when smoking contaminated tobacco.
Health and Safety recommendations for PTFE must be followed when handling vanes and other com-
ponents:
►
Do not smoke when servicing this product
►
PTFE-particles must not come in contact with open fire, glow or heat
►
Motor components must be washed with cleaning fluid and not blown clear with an air line
►
Wash your hands before starting any other activity
Service recommendations
Preventive maintenance is recommended at regular intervals. See the detailed information on preventive
maintenance. If the product is not working properly, take it out of service and inspect it.
If no detailed information about preventive maintenance is included, follow these general guidelines:
■
Clean appropriate parts accurately
■
Replace any defective or worn parts
Replacement of vanes
Replace the vanes in the motor when a power drop of the tool is experienced. If the vanes are not re-
placed in time other motor parts may be damaged. For increased life length of the vanes use an oil lubri-
cator to dose oil into the air inlet.
Lubrication Instructions
Rust protection and cleaning
Water in the compressed air can cause rust. To prevent rust we strongly recommend to install an air dryer.
Water and particles can cause sticking of vanes and valves. This can be prevented by installing an air fil-
ter close to the product to avoid pressure drop.
Before longer standstills always protect your tool by adding a few drops of oil into the air inlet. Run the tool
for 5–10 seconds and absorb any access oil at the air outlet in a cloth.
NOTICE
Do not try to clear the air path using sharp tools.
The air inlet is equipped with a strainer. If this is punctured, foreign objects may harm the valves, resulting
in overspeed.
Lubricating guide
Use lubricants of good quality. The oils and greases listed in the lubrication table are examples of lubri-
cants that can be recommended.
