Maintenance and Care
Air Pressure and Air Volume
Operate the compressed air metal shears with a pressure of 6 bar using a
compressor with an air suction capacity of at least 200 l/min. When using
higher pressure than the max. allowed pressure of 8 bar for operating the air
tool, its self life will be reduced drastically. The ideal capacity is provided by
compressors with a suction capacity of 200–300 l/min.
Only use air hoses with an inner diameter of at least 9 mm. When setting up
the air pressure, always keep in mind that the pressure will decrease by
approx. 0.6 bar when using a 10 m long hose with an inner diameter of 9 mm.
Maintenance and Care
To ensure proper functionality and a long lifetime, diligent lubrication and
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,
pressure regulator valve and lubricating equipment removes moisture and dirt
from the air, controls the working pressure and supplies the tool perfectly with
lubricating oil.
If necessary, clean the unit 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 tool 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 regularly! Also clean
the air filters on a regular basis.
Lubrication
Pneumatic tools always have to be lubricated 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, only use 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.
