Tool Safety and Maintenance



WARNING:  Please read and and understand the safety rules in the owner's manuals before operating any power tool.  In addition to the safety guidelines described in the owners manuals, we would like to draw your attention to some dangers which may occur while working with pneumatic tools, to guarantee a maximum degree of safety in the work place.
 
SAFETY
If high noise levels occur, always use ear protection.  Always use correct breathing protection if dust appears while working.  Protective goggles should always be worn to protect eyes from damage.  If necessary, wear protective gloves for certain types of work.
 
Never use pneumatic tools in an explosive atmosphere.
 
After use or before changing accessories, always disconnect the tool from the air hose and release pressure.  Air hoses under pressure may lash out when disconnected and could lead to injuries.
 
Before using a pneumatic tool, always check that all couplings, plugs and accessories are secure.
 
Always keep a safe distance between yourself and all moving parts.  Take care that jewelry, loose clothing, etc. do not become entangled with any moving parts.
 
Never exceed the maximum pressures listed in the owner's manuals, as it leads to rapid wear of the tool and can cause injuries to the operator.
 
Never use incorrectly specified accessories or accessories not designed for use with pneumatic tools.
 
Use recommended guards and ensure they are mounted securely and not damaged.
 
Ensure accessories are the correct fit for the tool and application.
 
Strong vibrations may lead to feelings of numbness.  Avoid long exposure to strong vibrations to avoid injury.
 
Beware of run-on.  Do not touch working end of tool until it is turned off and stopped completely.
 
MAINTENANCE
Use dry, clean air.  Drain daily and install filter at or near the take-off point to prevent trouble from foreign matter.
 
Use air hose (the shorter the better), joints and other fittings of good condition and of proper size to avoid pressure drop.
 
At least every three months, regular or periodical overhaul by a competent person is needed for best performance.
 
Use only Eagle genuine parts for replacement.
 
Apply recommended oil before and after operation (for example SHELL TURBINE OIL #32, MOBILE TURBINE OIL #32 or equivalent.)
 
  Apply recommended high quality grease (for example SHELL ALVANIA #2, SHELL ALVANIAEP, MOBILEPLEX 2, MOBILPLEX 47 or equivalent) to bearings once every three months or when tool is overhauled.  Over greasing will cause dull motion or overheating.
