1. The correct gas supply system:

It should be noted that the pressure measurement taken at the inlet of the tool, and not the outlet pressure of the air compressor, is typically 90 PSIG (6.2Kg/cm).

 

2The performance and lifespan of a tool is critically influenced by the proper application of air pressure. A suitable air pressure is required for optimal performance which should neither be too high nor too low. Excessive or insufficient air pressure can potentially damage the efficiency and life of a tool. Therefore, it is necessary always to use the recommended air pressure when operating tools to ensure their longevity and effectiveness.

 

The air intake must contain sufficient lubricating oil, so that the pneumatic motor in the tool can be fully lubricated (a piece of white paper can be placed on the exhaust of the tool to check whether there is oil stains. Normally, there is oil stains).

The intake air must be completely free of moisture. It is not appropriate if the compressed air is not supplied with an air dryer.

Avoid operating the tool after removing its parts unless it is absolutely necessary for the safety of the operator or the wellbeing of the tool. Using the tool in such a state can not only harm the operator but it can also lead to severe damage to the tool.

 

In the event that the tool exhibits any minor defects or is unable to carry out its designated function after it has been used, it is rendered unusable and ought to be promptly examined.

 

It is important to regularly maintain and check your tools to ensure they are in good working condition. This should be done approximately once a week. One crucial aspect of maintenance is adding grease to the bearings and other rotating parts. By doing so, you can improve their performance and prolong their lifespan. Additionally, it is recommended to add oil to the air motor part for smoother operation. Make sure to follow these steps to keep your tools running smoothly and efficiently.

 

It's vital to abide by safety regulations and operation instructions when handling different tools. This is important to ensure that accidents and injuries are prevented.

 

6. Use appropriate tools for work. Tools that are too large can easily cause work injuries, and tools that are too small can easily cause damage to the tools.

When working with pneumatic tools, users must prioritize safety. The high speed and strong torque generated by these tools can cause damage if precautions aren't taken. Additionally, the noise level can be quite loud. To protect oneself, it is recommended to wear protective glasses, yarn gloves, earplugs, and other safety gear before using pneumatic tools.

 

8. Before use, the operator needs to carry out a series of training on the structure principle of the main and auxiliary parts of the tool, work performance, precautions for use, and routine maintenance;

Ensure that the air pressure indication value of the pneumatic triplex is 6.2bar before usage by conducting a thorough check. If the value is not at 6.2bar, make the necessary adjustment to reach the correct pressure level.

 

10. Check whether there is sewage and impurities in the triple filter. If so, drain and discharge the sewage in time (usually once per week).

To ensure that your pneumatic tool receives sufficient compressed air pressure, it is crucial to regularly check for leakages or looseness in the air hose and joints. This will help prevent any potential loss of pressure that can keep your tool from operating smoothly. By doing so, you can ensure that your tool operates optimally, prolonging its overall lifespan and performance.

 

Ensure that the connection between the pneumatic tool and its accessories is secure to prevent any damage or potential injuries during operations with high speeds. It is important to check if the connection is reliable to ensure safe usage of the pneumatic tool.

 

13. Non-pneumatic tool accessories shall not be used on pneumatic tools.

When using it, handle with care and do not work with any diseases. Never throw, drop, smash, or use it unreasonably.

 

Make sure to clean the surface of the tool after use and apply oil regularly for maintenance purposes. This will help keep the tool in good condition and prevent it from wearing out quickly. Don't let dirt accumulate on the surface of the tool for too long as this can lead to rusting and corrosion. Remember to inject oil on the necessary areas for optimum functionality and longevity.

 

16. Regularly (generally 3 months) disassemble tools, clean and replace vulnerable parts, to ensure that they are always in good condition.

17. Pneumatic tools that can no longer be repaired and that have reached the end of their expiration date cannot be used continuously to prevent affecting product quality and hurting users
