3. Tool maintenance
During maintenance the tool must be disconnected from the
source of compressed air !!!
3.1 Daily maintenance
Daily, before starting work, apply several drops of lubricating oil [we recommend
hydraulic oil grade HLP ISO VG 32] into the air inlet of the tool, on condition there is
no lubricating device connected in the air distribution.
Check the tool for air leakage, if necessary replace damaged hoses and clasps.
If the pressure regulator is not equipped with a filter, blow through the air hose
before its connection to the tool in order to get rid of impurities and water. If the
pressure regulator has a filter, dry it out.
Check whether the fixed mandrel corresponds to the blind rivet nut diameter and
that all screw threads and joints are tightened properly.
Check that the front nozzle is tightened properly into the hydraulic body of the tool.
Check whether the air outlets are really empty.
3.2 Weekly maintenance
Cleaning of the tool and replacement of worn or non-functional parts. Unscrew
the anvil and mandrel according to the paragraph 2.4., step 1 to 3 and clean them
thoroughly. Visually check - especially the mandrel, anvil and front nozzle - if worn
or damaged, replace them. Dismounted parts should be reinstalled according to
the paragraph 2.4, step 5 to 7 including setting up according to step 8.
3.3 General maintenance
General maintenance should be performed after about 500.000 strokes or once
every three years. The tool must be completely disassembled and all seals and
worn parts must be replaced. This repair may be carried out by an authorized
technician only or a person trained by the manufacturer or supplier.
