6.3 Using the air tool
To benefit from the air tool's full performance,
always use compressed air hoses with an inner
diameter of at least 9 mm. Tool performance can be
significantly impaired if the inner diameter is too
small.
Caution. The compressed air line must not
contain any water condensation.
Caution. To preserve and extend the service
life of this tool, you must ensure that it is regu-

larly maintained with pneumatic oil lubricator. You
can do this as follows:
– Use oiled compressed air by fitting an oil-fog lu-
bricator.
– Without an oil-fog lubricator: manually apply oil
every day via the compressed air connection.
Use approx. 3-5 drops of pneumatic oil lubricator
for each 15 minutes of continuous operation.
If the tool has not been in use for several days, you
should manually apply about 5 drops of pneumatic
oil lubricator into the compressed air connection.
1. Tighten either the lubrication tube (1) or lubrica-
tion hose (12) in a clockwise direction on the
head (4).
2. Adjust the supply pressure on the compressor
(for the maximum permissible supply pressure,
see Technical Specifications).
3. Connect the tool by means of a quick coupling
to the compressed air supply.
4. Engage the grease gun with the lubrication nip-
ple.
5. To deliver the grease, press the trigger (5).
6. Release the trigger (5) as soon as sufficient
grease has been delivered to the lubrication
nipple.
Note:
For the device to be lubricated, refer to the manu-
facturer's instructions for information about the
required pressure, lubrication interval, lubricant
type and quantity.
