5-7. Lubrication
！
Caution
1. The non-lube type air gripper is lubricated at the factory and can be used without any further
lubrication.
If a lubricant is used in the system, use turbine oil Class 1 (with no additive) ISO VG32.
Furthermore, once lubrication is applied, it must be continued.
If lubrication is later stopped, malfunction can occur due to loss of the original lubricant.
Refer to the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of the hydraulic fluid when supplying the fluid
6. Maintenance
！
Warning
1. If handled improperly, compressed air can be dangerous. Assembly, handling, repair and element
replacement of pneumatic systems should be performed by a knowledgeable and experienced
person.
2. Remove drainage moisture from air filters regularly.
3. When air grippers are removed, first confirm that measures are in place to prevent any workpieces
from dropping, run-away of equipment, etc. Then cut off the supply pressure and electric power
and exhaust all compressed air from the system using the residual pressure release function.
When the equipment is restarted, proceed with caution after confirming that appropriate measures
are in place to prevent cylinders from sudden movement.
4. Do not allow people to enter or place objects in the carrying path of the air gripper.
Otherwise, injury or an accident may occur.
5. Do not put hands, etc. in between the air gripper fingers or attachments
6. When removing the air gripper, first confirm that no workpieces are being held and then release
the compressed air before removing the air gripper.
If a workpiece is still being held, there is a danger of it being dropped.
