Maintenance of pneumatic tools
Only proper maintenance
can ensure constant
performance, reduction in
wear and thus, a decrease in
operating costs and an
increase in service life.
Our pneumatic tools are
equipped for an operating
pressure of 6 bar. A
regulator setting for an
operating pressure of 4 bar
is possible as well as
expedient for grinding
machines with a built-in
regulator so as to take full
advantage of the speed
prescribed for the
corresponding grinding
wheels.
Pneumatic tools should not
run empty, because this
results in heat and higher
wear. The compressed air
should be clean and dry.
This is guaranteed by a
proper pneumatic system.
Blow through the pneumatic
hose before connecting it.
For the economical use of
pneumatic tools. The
prescribed air quantities are
necessary, i. e. , the line,
armatures and hoses must
have the required cross
sections so that the flow
pressure remains constant.
Proper lubrication is a must;
for this reason, our
pneumatic tools usually have
built-in oilers. Which are
located between the inlet
valve and the motor, and
which function in any
position. In smaller and
lighter hand tools, these
oilers must often be left out,
because the machines would
then be too heavy and not
easy to manage. In such
cases, lubrication must be
carried out by service units
or by manual hose oilers. We
recommend service units for
permanently installed
workplaces (see accessories
list). However, where longer
hose lines are necessary.
line oilers built into the hose
lines are more effective. The
distance between the tool
and oiler should not be more
than 5 m.
Most of pneumatic tools
have located at the
connection a lined-up
screen, which is to be
regularly checked and
cleaned.
After ending a working task,
the machines are to be
flushed with a thin oil, or
protected some other way
against corrosion.
Visible grease nipples are
provided for regular
lubrication of the gears with
a grease gun. Note the
following for grease
lubrication: Every 60 hours of
operation check striking
mechanism, friction bearings
and antifriction bearings; if
necessary, grease them.
Every 300 hours of operation
grease the gears and
antifriction bearings anew.
In the case of impact
wrenches, use a grease gun
to grease the anvil guide
before beginning daily work
or every 6 to 8 hours.
All inner parts must be
lubricated before storing for
longer periods of time in
order to prevent rusting.
It is recommended to check the
vanes and bearings at regular
intervals.
Store pneumatic tools in dry rooms
only.
Lubricating oils to be used:
Generally SAE 5 W to SAE 10
For gearless impact wrenches and
small grinders, only SAE 5 W.
For damp compressed air, oils are
to be used that take up water
( without losing the lubricating
effect) and that contain
anticorrosive additives. At lower
temperatures (especially for work
outside) it may be necessary to use
an antifreeze lubricant (e.g. Kilfrost,
BP Energol AX 10, Kompranol N
74).
For saw-chain lubrication on chain
saws:
Machine oil with adhesive additive,
viscosity c ST 49-55’
(6.5-7.5 E)/ 50°C
