SAFETY OPERATION MAINTENANCESETUP
User-Maintenance Instructions
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must
be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION:
Close all valves, detach the air supply, and pull on the safety valve to release all residual air pressure
before performing any inspection, maintenance, or cleaning procedures.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment. If abnormal noise, vibration,
or leaking air occurs, have the problem corrected before further use.
Cleaning, Maintenance, and Lubrication
Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance
explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware or housing,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• cracked or broken parts, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. Daily - Air Supply Maintenance:
Every day, maintain the air supply according
to the component manufacturers' instructions.
Drain the moisture filter regularly.
Performing routine air supply maintenance
will allow the tool to operate more safely
and will also reduce wear on the tool.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Causes Likely Solutions
Decreased output. 1. Not enough air pressure and/
or air flow.
2. Blocked air inlet screen
(if equipped).
3. Air leaking from loose housing.
4. Mechanism contaminated.
1. Check for loose connections and make sure that
air supply is providing enough air flow (CFM)
at required pressure (PSI) to the tool's air inlet.
Do not exceed maximum air pressure.
2. Clean air inlet screen of buildup.
3. Make sure housing is properly assembled and tight.
4. Have qualified technician clean mechanism.
Install in-line filter in air supply as stated
in Setup: Air Supply on page 7.
Severe air leakage.
(Slight air leakage
is normal,
especially on
older tools.)
1. Cross-threaded housing
components.
2. Loose housing.
3. Damaged valve or housing.
4. Dirty, worn or damaged valve.
1. Check for incorrect alignment and uneven gaps.
If cross-threaded, disassemble and
replace damaged parts before use.
2. Tighten housing assembly.
If housing cannot tighten properly,
internal parts may be misaligned. Technician needs
to disassemble tool, align parts and reassemble.
3. Replace damaged components.
4. Clean or replace valve assembly.
Follow all safety precautions whenever diagnosing or servicing the tool.
Disconnect air supply before service.
