machining. The clamping should also ensure that the gap created during the
cutting process maintains the same width or opens. When cutting large
workpieces, a clamp or support must be used on both sides of the cutting line.
The workpiece to be cut shall be supported near the cutting line and the edge.
This ensures that parts of the workpiece to be cut do not collapse in such a way
as to cause a jamming of the blade when cutting. During operation, sparks can
form and fragments of the workpiece can tear off . Make sure that sparks and
loose parts do not endanger the workplace.
7. MAINTENANCE
Never use petrol, solvent, or any other flammable liquid to clean the tool.
Vapours may ignite, causing the explosion of the tool and serious injury.The
solvents used to clean the tool holder and the body may soften the seals.
Thoroughly dry the tool before starting work.If you notice any malfunction of the
tool, immediately disconnect the tool from the pneumatic system. All components
of the pneumatic system shall be protected against contamination. Contaminants
entering the pneumatic system can damage the tool and other components of
the pneumatic system.
Maintenance of the tool before each use
Disconnect the tool from the air system.Before each use, introduce a small
amount of preservative (e.g. WD-40) through the air inlet. Connect the tool to the
air system and run it for approx. 30 seconds. This will allow you to spread the
preservative through the inside of the tool and clean it. Disconnect the tool from
the compressed air system again. Insert a small amount of SAE 10 oil into the
tool via the air inlet opening and the holes designed for that purpose. The use of
SAE 10 is recommended for the maintenance of pneumatic tools. Connect the
tool and run it briefly.
Caution! WD-40 cannot be used as a proper lubricating oil.Wipe off any excess
oil that may have escaped through the outlet openings. The oil left can damage
the tool seals.
Other maintenance activities
Before each use of the tool, make sure that there are no signs of damage to the
tool. Keep drivers, tool holders and spindles clean. Have the tool inspected by a
