Regular servicing should be carried out and a comprehensive inspection performed annually or every 500,000 cycles, whichever is
sooner.
The employer is responsible for ensuring that tool maintenance instructions are given to the appropriate personnel.
The operator should not be involved in maintenance or repair unless properly trained.
DAILY
■
Daily, before use or when first putting the tool into service, pour a few drops of clean, light lubricating oil into the air inlet of the
tool if no lubricator is fitted on air supply. If the tool is in continuous use, the air hose should be disconnected from the main air
supply and the tool lubricated every two to three hours.
■
Check for air leaks. If damaged, hoses and couplings should be replaced.
■
If there is no filter on the pressure regulator, bleed the air line to clear it of accumulated dirt or water before connecting the air hose
to the tool. If there is a filter, drain it.
■
Check that the nose equipment is correct.
■
Check mandrels regularly for signs of wear or damage monitoring the number of placings (read the SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS page
2 and 3).
WEEKLY
■
Remove, inspect, clean and grease the tail jaws (refer to 'Tail Jaw Assembly' in the 'Maintenance' section, page 23).
Grease can be ordered as a single item, the part number is shown in the service kit opposite.
