Always wear eye protection when operating or
performing maintenance on this tool.
Always turn off the air supply and disconnect the air
supply hose before installing, removing or adjusting
any accessory on this tool or before performing any
maintenance on this tool.
LUBRICATION
Each time a Series K2LA1, K2LA1SA, K2LA2 or
K2LA2SA Scaler is disassembled for maintenance and
repair or replacement of parts, pour about 3 cc of
Ingersoll–Rand No. 10 Oil in the air inlet and operate the
tool for 5 seconds to coat the internal parts with oil.
Weekly, flush the tool and lubricate immediately
afterwards as instructed in Placing the Tool in Service.
Loss of power and excessive air consumption may be due
to wear on the Piston (15) and the bore of the Barrel (13).
This can be determined by checking the Piston diameter at
each end and in the center with a micrometer. If the
diameter at the center is .003" greater than the diameter at
either end, it is proof that the Piston and Barrel are worn.
To correct, lap the Barrel and install an oversize Piston as
instructed on Page 8 under Installation of Oversize
Piston.
If examination of the Handle (1) indicates that it is not
seating squarely on the Valve Box (10), reface the handle
seat. Coat the barrel threads with graphite grease or other
rust resisting compound before screwing on the Handle.
