13. Starting up
■
Switch on the compressor for the air tank to be filled.
■
Put the compressor regulator to approx. 90 PSI or 6.3 bar. The max. operational
pressure of this device is at approx. 90 PSI or 6.3 bar.
■
The turning capacity might vary depending on the size of the compressor and the
volume of the compressed air output.
■
Do not use damaged, worn or sub-standard air hoses or connectors.
■
The pressure control for achieving the right tool speed is done by means of the compres-
sor regulator resp. a pressure regulator to be mounted additionally.
■
The speed regulation is done via an air inlet regulator (not contained in the delivery).
■
The technical data of this tool is based on operation at 6.3 bar pressure.
■
Always be careful when using this cutter. When using the device carelessly the inner parts
resp. the housing could be damaged and the operational performance reduced.
■
Press the lever for actuating the tool.
■
Release the lever to stop.
■
Note that the tool keeps running even after release of the lever.
■
Switch of the compressor and store it according to the operation manual after having
finished work.
■
Only use dry, clean air with approx. 90 PSI or 6.3 bar max. pressure. Dust, flammable
vapours and too high humidity can destroy the motor of a pneumatic device.
■
Do not remove labels, replace damaged labels.
■
Keep hands, loose clothing and long hair away from moving parts of the unit.
■
Place the cutting disk onto the flange and center well.
■
Screw clamping nut manually and then tighten with the supplied Allen® key, counter with
the supplied flat key at the same time.
■
Spark protection (protective cover) can be adjusted as required by pressing the quick
control.
■
The spark protection (protective cover) must not be removed for safety reasons
■
Check the air pressure and adjust if necessary until the correct operational pressure is
reached.
14. Maintenance and care
■
Lubrication:
Pneumatic tools have to be lubricated throughout their lifetime. Motor and ball bearings
need compressed air to power the tool. As the moisture in the compressed air causes motor
corrosion, the motor must be lubricated daily. We therefore recommend using and integrated
lubricator.
■
FÖRCH-Unit Lubricator to be assembled to pneumatic tools.
■
Lubricating the pneumatic motor manually:
Disconnect the device from the compressed air supply and keep up with the air inlet up-
wards. Apply one or two drops of special compressed air oil into the air inlet. Reconnect the
tool to the compressed air supply, cover the air outlet at the unit with a towel and operate
it for a few seconds. Never use flammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or
gasoline for lubricating this tool.
ATTENTION!
Excess oil in the motor will be discharged immediately through the air outlet.
