Maintenance and Care
Air Pressure and Air Volume
The air blow gun requires clean and oil-free air. Therefore
do not
use an oil-
fog lubricator within the air supply system.
If possible, only use compressed air hoses for the air supply that previously
have not been used with other air tools which required an oil-fog lubrication
system.
Operate the air blow gun with a pressure of 3 – 6 bar. When using higher
pressure than the max. permitted pressure of 8 bar, its self life will be reduced
drastically. Operate the air blow gun using a compressor with an air suction
capacity of at least 140 l/min. 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 maintenance is
essential.
Add a few drops of oil to the sealing of the trigger pin in regular intervals. Apart
from that the air blow gun is maintenance free.
Do not allow liquids to enter the air blow gun 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 in regular intervals.
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.
If necessary, clean the air blow gun with a moist cloth.
Do not use abrasive or aggressive chemicals as benzene or thinner, which
may dissolve plastic parts.
Storing
Store the air blow gun indoors in a dry location that is protected from dust and
dirt.
