Maintenance and cleaning
WARNING! RISK OF INJURY! Discon-
nect the tool from the compressed air
supply.
CAUTION!
►
Before maintenance, clean off any hazardous
substances that may have accumulated on
the tool (due to working processes). Avoid
all skin contact with these substances. If the
skin comes into contact with hazardous dusts,
this can lead to severe dermatitis. If dust is
produced or swirled up during maintenance,
it can be inhaled.
NOTE
To ensure correct functioning and a long service
life for the tool, pay attention to the following
points:
■
Sufficient and continuous oil lubrication is highly
important for optimum functioning.
■
Check the speed and vibration levels after each
use.
■
Check the idle speed regularly and after any
maintenance is performed:
use a rev counter and perform the measure-
ment without any clamped tools. At a residual
pressure of 6.3 bar, the idle speed may not be
exceeded under any circumstances.
■
If the tool is exhibiting excessive vibration levels,
the cause of the vibrations must be identified
and repaired.
■
Use only the genuine replacement parts recom-
mended by the manufacturer, otherwise you
could put users at risk. In doubt, contact the
Service Centre.
■
Clean the tool with a soft, dry cloth only.
■
Never use sharp or abrasive cleaning agents
under any circumstances.
