Use of the compressed air file
Warning!
Risk of cutting by a compressed air
file when the saw blade is in place!
Warning!
Hold the compressed air file away
from your body when it is switched
on!
Warning!
When
changing
the
tools
and
performing
maintenance
work,
always isolate the machine from the
compressed air network!
The compressed air files comply with the relevant
safety regulations.
The operators who use the machine are expected to
have sufficient knowledge of work with pneumatic
saws. Training can be given by our specialist
personnel.
Do not work with the machine in an environment with
an explosion risk and in the presence of combustible
fluids, gases or dust. Tools may emit sparks which
can ignite the dust or vapours.
Keep the connection hose away from heat, sharp
edges or moving machine parts. Hoses which are
damaged or cut off and under pressure may swing
around in an uncontrolled manner and are therefore
liable to cause severe physical injury and material
damage.
Before starting work and after every interruption,
check the machine and tool for damage.
Do not use torn and bent saw blades and files.
Make sure that the tool is firmly fitted!
Always make sure that you are standing in a stable
position and holding the machine firmly and securely
as recoil forces or tool breakage may cause
unexpectedly sudden movements with a risk of injury.
The operating pressure must not exceed 8 bars!
Conduct at the workplace
Always keep your workplace tidy!
Sparks may be generated when sawing. Remove
combustible objects and materials!
Beware of the risk of a flying compressed air hose!
Concentrate on your work and keep other persons
away from your working zone!
Store your tools safely and look after them carefully!
Repairs may only be performed by qualified
personnel.
Connecting and commissioning
Caution!
Only connect the machine to the
compressed air network with the tool
in place and the valve switched off!
Please check the following points before connecting
the machine:
Before commissioning for the first time, tighten the
fixing screws on the tool holder to a torque of 2-
2.5 Nm and check from time to time.
Blow out the compressed air hose before
connecting up; this will remove impurities.
Only use clean and lightly oiled compressed air.
The oil which is mixed in must be thin and free
from resin. Order No. 64 780 950
The operating pressure and air volume are
indicated on the list (see p. 1) for each type of
machine; these values must always be respected.
All connections and couplings must have a
passage of at least ø6mm; the inside diameter of
the hose must be at least 7.5mm, and couplings
must be perfectly sealed!
A few drops of oil must be applied from time to
time to the piston rod guide surfaces and the tool
holder guide.
When sawing, guide the machine with light
pressure. Let the saw do the work.
Always operate the compressed air file with clean air,
free from water! For this purpose connect the machine
to a maintenance unit with a water separator,
pressure regulator and oil mist applicator.
Connect the compressed air file with the hose unit
(a) and the one-hand coupling (b) to the
maintenance unit (c1 – c3) (see Fig. 1).
Assemble the maintenance unit (c1 - c3) in the
following sequence: water separator (c1) –
pressure regulator (c2) – oil mist applicator (c3).
Adjust the maintenance unit in such a way that 1
drop of oil is added to the air at 2 minute intervals.
Recommended oil: Art. No. 64 780 950
