Operation
Maintenance, Lubrication and Care
To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent
maintenance is essential.
For operating pneumatic tools, clean air is required. Corrosion
residues, dust and dirt from the pneumatic pipes reduce the
efficiency of the tool and will cause technical problems. An
upstream maintenance unit consisting of filter and pressure
regulator valve removes moisture and dirt from the air and
controls the working pressure.
After use, clean the air sand blaster with a moist cloth.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or
thinner, which may dissolve plastic parts.
Do not allow liquids to enter the unit and never immerse it into
liquids. Water in the compressed air inlet can damage the
machine. Therefore it is recommended to drain the air lines and
the compressor in regular intervals! Also clean the air filters in
regular intervals.
The air sand blaster requires clean and oil-free air. So do not use
an oil-fog lubricator within the air supply system.
If possible, only use compressed air hoses for the air supply that
previously have not been used with other air tools which required
an oil-fog lubrication system.
Lubricate the moving parts of the trigger mechanism and the
regulator from time to time.
Clean the nozzle (3) in regular intervals. To do so, turn the ring
nut (4) counter clockwise and pull out the nozzle.
Storing
Store the air sand blaster in a dry location that is protected from
dust and dirt.
