lUBRIcAtION
An
automatic
in-line
filter-regulator-lubricator
is
recommended (Fig. 10) as it increases product life and keeps
the product in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator
should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by
placing a sheet of paper next to the exhaust ports and
actuate the tool 10 - 15 times without fasteners loaded.
The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil
collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be
avoided.
If it becomes necessary to store the product for an extended
period of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive
a generous amount of lubrication at that time. Actuate the
tool 10 - 15 times without fasteners loaded to ensure oil
has been evenly distributed throughout the product. The
product should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
● It is most important that the product be properly
lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator filled
and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication
the product will not work properly and parts will
wear prematurely.
● Use correct lubricant in the air line lubricator. The
lubricator should be of low air flow or changing air
flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct
level. Use only recommended lubricants, specially
made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes
may harm the rubber compounds in the product's
O-rings and other rubber parts.
IMpORtANt!
See figure 10.
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air
system, air operated tools should be lubricated at least
once a day or after 2 hours of work with 2 - 6 drops
of oil, depending on the work environment, directly
through the male fitting in the tool housing.
