Maintenance and Care
To ensure proper function and a long life time, it is essential to lubricate and
maintain the unit carefully.
For operating pneumatic tools, you need pure air. Corrosion residual, dust and
dirt in the supply line, restrain the performance and create technical difficulties. A
maintenance unit with filter, pressure regulator and oiler, connected ahead to the
tool, dehumidifies and removes dirt from the air, and regulates the operating
pressure. Also it supplies the tool with lubricant in an optimal way.
Lubrication: Pneumatic tools have to be lubricated always sufficiently. This is
done continuously and safest by using an oil-fog lubricator. If the oiler is mounted
centrally at the compressor or mounted firmly at the end of the compressed-air
pipe installation, use only a hose with a length of max. 10 m. If the hose is longer,
the nebulisation disappears in the air. The oil floats inside the hose and does not
arrive at the air tool.
Oiler
Setting:
Hose up to 5 m every 2 min. 1 drop
Hose up to 10 m always per min. 1 drop
If you do not have an oiler at yours disposal, please put a few drops of oil into the
compressed-air connection (5) before every machine usage. Lubricate the air im-
pact wrench once more after use, especially if you do not operate the unit for a
long time.
Further maintenance work is not necessary.
Storage
Store your air tool only in dry rooms.
