■
Press the trigger to operate the product.
■
Do not allow the product to free run for an extended
period of time as this will shorten its life.
■
Release the start and stop device in the case of an
interruption of the air supply.
■
Disconnect the product from the air supply before
changing accessories or making adjustments.
■
Turn the quick change retainer for tighten and securing
the chisel.
■
Before operation, ensure the inserted accessory is
fixed in the product.
WARNING
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed
6.3 bar (90 psi) while operating the product. Too high an
air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product's
life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous
causing damage and/or personal injury.
LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is
recommended (Fig. 6) 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
holding the throttle open for approximately 30 seconds.
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. The product
should be run for approximately 30 seconds 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 6.
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.
LOADING AND OPERATION
WARNING
Ensure the air supply is clean and does not exceed
6.3 bar (90 psi) while operating the product. Too high an
air pressure and unclean air will shorten the product's
life due to excessive wear, and may be dangerous
causing damage and/or personal injury.
■
Line pressure should be increased to compensate for
unusually long air hoses (over 8 metres). The minimum
hose diameter should be 6.35 mm (1/4”) I.D. and the
fittings must have the same inside dimensions.
■
Keep hose away from heat, oil and sharp edges. Check
hose for wear, and make sure that all connections are
secure.
■
Any accessory that is exposed to continuous strain
can, after a long period of use, break due to fatigue.
■
Unexpected tool movement or breakage of inserted
tool may cause injuries to the lower limbs.
■
Holding the inserted tool by the free hand can be a
source of vibration damage. This practice is forbidden.
■
Do not use a worn or damaged tool or accessory.
■
Loss of power or erratic action may be due to the
following:
– Excessive drain on the air line. Moisture or
restriction in the air pipe. Incorrect size or type of
hose connectors. To remedy check the air supply.
– Grit or gum deposits in the tool may also reduce
performance. If your model has an air strainer
(located in the area of the air inlet), remove the
strainer and clean it.
■
Use the product only for its intended purpose.
MAINTENANCE
■
Keep the product safe by regular maintenance.
■
Always keep your air tool clean and lubricated. Daily
lubrication is essential to avoid internal corrosion and
possible failure.
■
Lubricate the product daily with a few drops of air tool
oil dripped into the air inlet.
■
Maintenance shall be performed weekly.
