Initial set-up and assembly
First read the important safety information section completely and do not forget the text
under the subheadings. Only then can you use this tool.
Notes:
•
For additional information on the parts mentioned on the following pages, please refer to the
exploded view at the end of these operation manual.
•
In certain cases, the air inlet has a protective cover that protects it during transport. Remove it
before setting up the tool.
Compressed air supply
Warning!
To prevent serious injury from explosion, only use clean, dry, regulated compressed air to
operate this tool. Under no circumstances should you use oxygen, carbon dioxide, flammable
gases, or other bottled gas as a power source for this tool.
1.
For the smoothest possible operation of the tool, install a filter, a pressure regulator with ma-
nometer, an oiler, an in-line shut-off valve as well as a quick-release coupling.
An in-line shut-
off valve is an important safety device, as it regulates the air supply even if the air hose
is torn. The shut-off valve should be a ball valve because it can be closed quickly.
Note:
If an automatic oiler system is not being used, add a few drops of pneumatic tool oil to
the air-line connector before operation. Add a few more drops after every hour of continuous
use.
2.
Connect an air hose to the air outlet of the compressor. Connect the air hose to the air inlet of
the tool. Other accessories, such as a coupler plug and a quick coupler, make operation more
efficient, but are not essential.
WARNING!
TO PREVENT SEVERE INJURY DUE TO UNINTENDED START-UP:
Do
not install a quick connector with female thread.
Such a coupling has an air valve through
which the compressed air tool can retain pressure, which means that it may accidentally start
operating even after the air supply has been switched off.
Note:
The airflow and the tool performance dependent thereon can be affected by accessories
that are too small. The compressed air hose must be long enough to reach the work area and
to have length left to allow you to move freely while working.
3.
Close or set the trigger of the tool to off. A description of the control elements can be found in
the section “Operation.”
4.
Close the in-line shut-off valve between the compressor and the tool.
5.
Turn on the air compressor according to the manufacturer’s instructions and wait for it to build
up pressure and turns off.
6.
Adjust the air compressor capacity regulator so that the air capacity is sufficient for the tool and
enables it to operate properly. However, the performance must not exceed the maximum air
pressure of the tool at any time. Gradually adjust the pressure while keeping an eye on the
outlet pressure gauge to set the correct pressure range.
7.
Check the air connections for leaks. In case of leaks, repair all of them.
8.
If the tool is not in use, turn off the air supply and disconnect it from the tool. Carefully release
the remaining air pressure and release the trigger and/or turn the switch to the “off” position to
avoid accidental activation.
Note:
After the tool has been disconnected from the air supply, there should be no residual air
pressure. For safety reasons, however, check this by carefully pulling the trigger again after
disconnecting the air supply to ensure that there is no longer any residual air remaining in the
device.
