7. Operating & Maintenance Instructions
Prior to tool operation
The tool is intended to be operated as a hand held tool. It is always recommended
that while using the tool, operators stand on a solid floor, in a secure position with a
firm grip and footing. Be aware that the tool can develop a torque reaction. See the
section “SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.”
Please Note:
Use a clean lubricated air supply that will give a measured air
pressure at the tool of 6.2 bar (90 psig) when the tool is running with the lever fully
depressed. It is recommended to use an approved 10 mm (3/8 in) x 15.24m (50
ft) maximum length air line.
Connect the tool to the air supply as shown in Figure 1. Do not connect the tool
to the air line system without an easily accessible air shut off valve. It is strongly
recommended that an air filter, regulator, and lubricator (FRL) be used as shown in
Figure 1 as this will supply clean, lubricated air at the correct pressure to the tool.
In any case where the supply pressure exceeds the marked maximum of the tool,
appropriate air pressure regulators should be used while operating this tool.
It is recommended that the air pressure at the tool be 6.2 bar (90 psig) while the
tool is running so the maximum RPM is not exceeded. The tool can be run at lower
pressures but should never be run higher than 6.2 bar (90 psig). If run at lower
pressure the performance of the tool is reduced.
Maintenance
Caution:
Always disconnect tool from air supply prior to maintenance.
a) Before using Griot’s Garage THE BOSS
™
AIR Micro Rotary Polisher, it is
recommended to add four to five drops of air tool oil into the air inlet opening
and 1 - 2 drops following every 3 - 4 hours of use.
b) Clean plastic and rubber parts with a soft, damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to
clean plastic parts. Griot’s Garage Interior Cleaner is an effective solution.
c) Check for misalignment or binding of moving parts, breakage of parts, and any
other condition that may affect the power tool’s operation. If damaged, have the
power tool repaired before use. Many accidents are caused by poorly maintained
power tools.
