Maintaining The Pneumatic Tool - Stanley HARTCO С Serie Manual De Instrucciones

IN ADDITION TO THE OTHER WARNINGS CONTAINED IN THIS MANUAL
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING FOR SAFE OPERATION
• Use the HARTCO pneumatic tool only for the purpose for which it was designed.
• Never use this tool in a manner that could cause a fastener to be directed toward the user
or others in the work area.
• Do not use the tool as a hammer.
• Always carry the tool by the handle. Never carry the tool by the air hose.
• Do not alter or modify this tool from the original design or function without approval from
HARTCO, INC.
• Always be aware that misuse and improper handling of this tool can cause injury to
yourself and others.
• Never clamp or tape the trigger in an actuated position.
• Never leave a tool unattended with the air hose attached.
• Do not operate this tool if it does not contain a legible WARNING LABEL.
• Do not continue to use a tool that leaks air or does not function properly. Notify your
nearest HARTCO representative if your tool continues to experience functional problems.
When working on air tools, note the warnings in this manual and use extra care when
evaluating problem tools.
Caution must be used for maintaining the follower spring assembly. The spring is not attached to the
roller, and if extended beyond the roller length it will slip off and roll up rapidly. The edges of the spring
are very thin and care should be taken to avoid being cut. Care must also be taken to ensure that no
permanent kinks are put into the spring as this can reduce the spring's applied force.
REPLACEMENT PARTS:
HARTCO replacement parts are recommended. Do not use modified parts or parts which will not give
equivalent performance to the original equipment.
ASSEMBLY PROCEDURE FOR SEALS:
When repairing a tool, make sure the internal parts are clean and lubricated. Use Parker "O"-LUBE or
equivalent on all "O"-rings. Coat each "O"-ring with "O"-LUBE before assembling. Use a small amount of oil
on all moving surfaces and pivots. After reassembly add a few drops of BOSTITCH Air Tool Lubricant through
the air line fitting before testing.
AIR SUPPLY-PRESSURE AND VOLUME:
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of
undersize fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent
the tool from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the pressure reading is high. The results will
be slow operation, misfeeds or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems for these symptoms,
trace the air supply from the tool to the supply source for restrictive connectors, swivel fittings, low points
containing water and anything else that would prevent full volume flow of air to the tool.
