when the grinder is running and contribute to the vibration. Rotor
blades that are worn or chipped can lock up the motor and damage
motor components. Rotor blades should be checked periodically
and replaced if they measure less than 7/32" (5.6mm) at either
end.
Proper repair procedures and the use of original Cleco service
parts and bearings rather than substitutes will return the tool to
factory specifications of precision and balance, and minimize
vibration.
PROPER LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended as
it increases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The
in-line lubricator should be regularly checked and filled with a good
grade of 10W machine oil. Proper adjustment of in-line lubricator
is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to exhaust ports and
holding throttle open approximately 30 seconds. Lubricator is
properly set when a light stain of oil collects on paper. Excessive
amounts of oil should be avoided.
Safety Recommendations
STORAGE
In the event it becomes necessary to store tool for an extended
period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a
generous amount of lubrication at that time and run for several
seconds to distribute oil before disconnecting from air supply. This
will reduce corrosion and displace water that may be trapped in
tool. Water trapped in the tool could cause the governor to freeze
and malfunction if tool is exposed to freezing temperatures.
The governor,if so equipped, should be checked periodically to be
sure the governor mechanism is clean, in good operating condi-
tion, and functioning properly.
