CAUTION:
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system,
air operated tools should be lubricated at least once a day or after 2
hours work with 2 to 6 drops of oil, depending on the work environment,
directly through the male fitting in the tool housing.
LUBRICATION
An automatic in-line filter-regulator-lubricator is recommended (Fig.1) as it in-
creases tool life and keeps the tool in sustained operation. The in-line lubricator
should be regularly checked and filled with air tool oil.
Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of
paper next to the exhaust port and holding the throttle open approximately 30
seconds. The lubricator is properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the
paper. Excessive amounts of oil should be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period
of time (overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubri-
cation at that time. The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to en-
sure oil has been evenly distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be
stored in a clean and dry environment.
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line
lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not
work properly and parts will wear prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low
air flow or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level.
Use only recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications.
Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and other rub-
ber parts.
