GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Humidity in the air causes condensation to form in the air tank.
This condensation should be drained daily and/or every hour,
using the instructions found in Draining the tank (on page 14).
The safety valve automatically releases air if the air receiver
pressure exceeds the preset maximum. Check the safety valve
before each use following the instructions found in Checking the
safety valve (on page 14).
Inspect the tank yearly for rust, pin holes, or other imperfections
that could cause it to become unsafe.
AIR COMPRESSOR LUBRICATION
All the bearings in this tool are lubricated with a sufficient
amount of high grade lubricant for the life of the unit under
normal operating conditions. Therefore, no further lubrication of
the bearings is required.
Care and Cleaning
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most plastics
are susceptible to damage from various types of commercial
solvents and may be damaged by their use.
Use clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING: When servicing, use only identical Husky
replacement parts. Use of any other parts may create a
hazard or cause product damage.
WARNING: Always wear safety goggles or safety
glasses with side shields during power tool operation or
when blowing dust. If operation is dusty, also wear a
dust mask.
WARNING: Always release all pressure, disconnect from
power supply, and allow unit to cool to the touch before
cleaning or making repairs on the air compressor.
WARNING: Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc., come
in contact with plastic parts. Chemical can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may result in serious
personal injury. Electric tools used on fiberglass
material, wall-board, spackling compounds, or plaster
are subject to accelerated wear and possible premature
failure because the fiberglass chips and grindings are
highly abrasive to bearings, brushes, commutators, etc.
Consequently, we do not recommend using this tool for
extended work on these type of materials. However, if
you do work with any of these materials, it is extremely
important to clean the tool using compressed air.
