1.) LUBRICATION:
Before connection of the hose, apply 4 to 5 drops of a good
quality air tool oil at the air inlet. After 3 to 4 hours of
operation, oiling may be necessary again.
3.) STORAGE:
Avoid storing the tool in a location subject to high humidity. If
the tool is left unused, the residual moisture inside the tool
can cause rust. Before storing and after operation, oil the tool
at the air inlet with a good quality air tool oil and run it for a
short period.
4.) DISPOSAL:
Follow national legislation of waste disposal.
5.) ORDERING SERVICE PART
For further operational and handling information or for
replacement of parts and components, contact the sales
agent from where you purchased the tool, or the service
division of our company, phone number 800-221-9705.
*When ordering parts and components, give each part
number, name, and quantities.
2.) TIGHTNESS OF PARTS:
Regularly check whether all connection parts are
fastened securely. Follow this procedure daily
before beginning work.
The oil and water extractor should not be mounted on or near the air
compressor.
The temperature of air is greatly increased during compression. As the air
cools down to room temperature, in the air line, on its way to the Air Power
Tool, the moisture contained in it condenses. Thus, for maximum
effectiveness, the oil and water extractor should be mounted at some point
in the air supply system where the temperature of the compressed air in the
line is likely to be lowest. Air lines must be properly drained daily. Each low
point in an air line acts as a water trap. Such points should be fitted with an
easily accessible drain. See diagram below. Pitch all air lines back towards
the compressor so that condensed moisture will flow back into the air
receiver where it can be drained off. Drain daily.
