Reassembly
Clean all parts and examine for wear. Use only distributor or
manufacturer supplied replacement parts. Look for wear on seals and
bearing. Coat all parts with a pneumatic tool lubricating oil preferably
one containing a rust inhibitor and reassemble in the reverse order.
Make sure the saw blade is correctly fitted.
The trigger/lever etc must always be free to return to the 'off' position
when it is released.
12) Always shut off the air supply to the tool, and depress the
trigger/lever etc to exhaust air from the feed hose before fitting,
adjusting or removing the working attachment.
13) Check hose and fittings regularly for wear. Replace if necessary.
Do not carry the tool by its hose and ensure the hand is remote from
the on/off control when carrying the tool with the air supply connected.
14) Take care against entanglement of moving parts of the tool with
clothing, ties, hair, cleaning rags, etc. This will cause the body to be
drawn towards the tool and can be very dangerous.
15) It is expected that users will adopt safe working practices and
observe all relevant legal requirements when installing, using or
maintaining the tool.
16) Do not install the tool unless an easily accessible and easily
