Important Operating Instructions
STORAGE & MAINTENANCE
WARNING:
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only
by a qualified technician.
To prevent serious injury from accidental operation, turn off the tool, detach the air supply,
safely discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the trigger before
performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
To prevent serious injury from tool failure, do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal
noise, vibration, or leaking occurs, have the problem corrected before use.
To prevent serious injury from explosion, lubricate the tool only with specified lubricants.
Lubricate the air inlet using only pneumatic tool oil. Other lubricants may damage the
mechanism and may be highly flammable, causing an explosion.
Note:
These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained
as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. Before each use,
inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:
Loose hardware or housing
Misalignment or binding of moving parts
Cracked or broken parts
Any other condition that may affect its safe operation
7. When finished, to prevent accidents, turn off the tool, detach the air supply, safely
discharge any residual air pressure in the tool, and release the throttle and/or turn
the switch to its off position after use. Clean external surfaces of the tool with clean,
dry cloth, and apply a thin coat of tool oil. Then store the tool indoors out of children's
reach.
