6.1 Regular Operational Maintenance
To obtain best results, it is important for the piston to be running
with low friction in the cylinder.
This should be checked at regular intervals. Some debris will
always enter the cylinder and regular cleaning is recommended.
The FDB-AC should not be operated for extensive periods of time
with the cutting tip pointing up. This orientation will increase the
amount of debris entering the cylinder and cause premature wear
of the cylinder and piston, possibly preventing the piston from
floating altogether. If the FDB-AC must be operated in this
orientation then a continuous or regular burst of high velocity air
should be used to blow debris away from the piston and cylinder
to insure low friction between the Compensation piston and the
cylinder.
Additionally, the outside of the FDB-AC should be kept clean to
ensure proper cooling.
