Troubleshooting
If the pneumatic machine does not start, has low
power or uneven performance, check the following
points.
♦
Check that the insertion tool being used has the
correct shank dimension.
♦
Check that the pneumatic machine is getting the
correct amount of lubricant. Too much lubrication
can cause starting problems, low power or uneven
performance.
♦
Check that the compressed air system supplies
the machine with sufficient air pressure to give full
power.
♦
Check that the dimension and length of the air
hose are according to the recommendations. See
“Installation”.
♦
If there is a risk of freezing, check that the
machine's exhaust ports are not blocked.
♦
If the machine function is still not satisfactory after
this procedure, contact an authorised service
workshop.
Storage
●
Clean the machine properly before storage, in
order to avoid hazardous substances. See “Dust
and fume hazard”
●
Pour approximately
1
⁄
2
oz (5 cl) of oil directly into
the air inlet nipple, connect the machine to the
compressed air supply and start it for a few
seconds.
●
Always store the machine in a dry place.
Disposal
A used machine must be treated and disposed of in
such a way that the greatest possible portion of the
material can be recycled and any negative influence
on the environment is kept as low as possible, and
in respect to local restrictions.
