GENERAL 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 operator setting 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
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 work places. However where longer hose lines are
necessary, line oilers built into hose lines are more effective. The
distance between the tool and the oiler should not be more than
5 metres.
Lubricating oils to be used:
Generally SAE 5W to SAE10
