Air Supply...
Tools operate on a wide range of air pres sures. It is recommended
that air pressure mea sures 90 PSI at the tool with the trigger fully
depressed and no load applied to the tool. Low pressure (under 90
psig; 6.2 bar) re duc es the speed of all air tools. Low air pressure not
only wastes time, but also costs money. Higher pres sure (over 90 psig;
6.2 bar) raises performance beyond the rated capacity of the tool,
which will short en tool life and could cause injury.The rec om mend ed
hookup pro ce dure can be viewed in the above figure.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes, and/or water in the air
line will cause damage to the tool. Drain the air tank daily. Clean the
air inlet filter screen at least once per week.
The air inlet used for connecting the air supply has standard 1/4" NPT
American Thread. Line pressure should be increased to compensate
for unusually long air hoses (over 25 feet). Minimum hose diameter
should be 3/8" I.D. Fittings should have the same inside dimensions
and should be tightly secured.
Ensure an accessible emergency shut off valve has been installed in
the air supply line and make others aware of its location.
Lubrication...
Lubricate the air motor daily with SUNEX air tool oil. If no air line oiler
is used, run 1/2 oz. of oil through the tool. The oil can be squirted into
the tool air inlet or into the hose at the nearest con nec tion to
the air supply, then run the tool. The oil plug is only for adding multi-
purpose grease after repair or maintenance of the impact mechanism.
Overfilling will cause a re duc tion in the power of the tool.
WARNING: After an air tool has been lubricated, oil will discharge
through the exhaust port during the first few seconds of operation.
The exhaust port must be covered with a towel before applying air
pressure to prevent serious injury.
Troubleshooting...
Other factors outside the tool may cause loss of power or erratic action.
Reduced compressor output, excessive drain on the air line, moisture or
restrictions in air pipes or the use of hose connections of improper size
or poor conditions may reduce air supply. Grit or gum deposits in the
tool may cut power and may be corrected by cleaning the air strainer
and flushing out the tool with gum solvent oil or an equal mixture of
SAE #10 and kerosene. If outside conditions are in order, disconnect
tool from hose and take tool to your nearest authorized service center.
SXSW1001: Parts Breakdown & Operating Manual
Operation...
Always turn off the air supply, drain hose of air pressure and
detach tool from air supply before installing, removing or adjust-
ing any part or accessory on this tool, or before performing any
maintenance on this tool.
The speed of this saw can be regulated. It has a slotted screw
which rotates 360º. However, only a quarter turn segment (90º)
within the full turn regulates the speed of the saw. When the screw
is rotated a full quarter turn in either direction, the tool speed will
go from maximum to minimum or vice versa. Rotate the screw
within the quarter turn until the desired speed is obtained.
To Change Blades:
1. Remove screw (#49).
2. Pull down saw blade cover (#38).
3. Loosen set screws (#43).
4. Insert blade into saw blade holder
(#41) and tighten set screws.
5. Close saw blade cover and
re-install screw.
NOTE: During operation, safety goggles should always
be worn to guard against flying debris (users and
bystanders).
