ELECTRIC / AIR OPERATED SELF- -FEED TOOLS
It is the responsibility of the employer to place this information into the hands of the operator.
AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
For maximum operating efficiency, the following air supply specifi-
cations should be maintained to this air tool:
•
MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE -- 100 p.s.i.g. (6.9 bar)
•
AIR FILTRATION -- 50 micron
•
HOSE SIZE -- 5/16" (8 mm) I.D.
An AROR model P29231--110 air line FILTER/REGULATOR plus
100067 gauge is recommended to maintain the above air supply
specifications.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive
moisture can damage the motor of an air tool. An air line filter can
greatly increase the life of an air tool. The filter removes rust,
scale, moisture and other debris from the air lines. Low air pres-
sure (less than 100 p.s.i.g.) reduces the speed of the air tool. High
air pressure (more than 100 p.s.i.g.) raises performance beyond
the rated capacity of the tool and could cause injury. Shown below
is a typical piping arrangement.

WARNING
below time intervals:
FE054B- -( )- -( )EU and FE074A- -( )- -( )EU: EVERY 160 HOURS
OF TOOL OPERATION - - Except direct drive models (direct drive
models are supplied with grease fitting) -- Inject grease (33153), 1
to 2 strokes, thru grease fitting in gear housing. Gearing should
contain approximately 1/4 oz. (7 g) of grease. Sliding splines
should contain approximately 1/4 oz. (7 g) of grease.
EVERY 2000 HOURS OF TOOL OPERATION - - Completely dis-
assemble tool and clean and inspect all possible wear points.
A clamp assembly is available for tool mounting. The clamp fits
over the o.d. of the sleeve housing and is provided with cross--
slotted keyway and 4 #10--24 threaded holes for use with keys
and key slot type mountings.
The ARO Electra--Feed tools are not supplied with the required
motor starter. The motor starter must conform to the local/national
regulations governing the use of this type of electrical equipment
and must provide motor overload protection. The recommended
overload settings are given on the electrical connection diagram
(located on the inside of the outlet box cover). The power supply,
motor starter and the motor nameplate ratings must be equiva-
lent.
The motor voltage requirements are shown on the electrical con-
nection diagram.
BE SURE THE ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY IS OFF BE-
FORE MAKING ANY ELECTRICAL WIRING CONNECTIONS.
FAILURE TO PROPERLY GROUND THE MOTOR MAY CAUSE
SERIOUS INJURY TO PERSONNEL.
DO NOT BLOCK THE AIR FLOW TO OR FROM THE MOTOR
COOLING FAN. DO NOT DAMAGE THE MOTOR FAN COVER.
KEEP SMALL OBJECTS CLEAR OF THE OPENINGS IN THE
FAN COVER.
Connect the motor starter to the motor. The minimum wire size
should be AWG no. 14, or equivalent, (4107 circular mil) and con-
form to local/national regulations governing the use of this type
electrical equipment.
Once the motor is connected, turn on the power supply. If the tool
spindle fails to rotate or rotates in the wrong direction, then de--en-
ergize the motor starter immediately. Turn off the power supply
and recheck the wiring.
