Needle Scaler SN29PG
Operation & Maintenance Guide
OPERATION:
SN29PG Needle Scalers are rugged, dependable tools designed to give you years of satisfactory service. Follow
the instructions mentioned here to enhance the life and performance of your scaler.
DAILY BEFORE OPERATING:
Disconnect and pour in 1 to 2 ounces of recommended oil in to the tool and reconnect hose after blowing out any
accumulated dirt in the hose line before connection.
AIR SUPPLY:
Tool should not be operated at air pressure below 5.5 Bar (80psi) and above 6.9 bar (100psi).The correct
operating pressure is 6.2 bar (90 psi).
Ensure that only 3/8" (10 mm) bore airline is used and all couplings are tight, leakproof and in good condition.
The air should be clean, dry and lubricated. Install a FRL unit as close as operation will permit.
RECOMMENDED LUBRICANTS:
LUBRICATION REQUIREMENTS:
Always install a line lubricator on the air line as close to the tool as possible. A Filter Regulator Lubricator unit (FRL)
is strongly recommended. Keep the lubricator bowl topped up with recommended grade of oil and check that the
oil is reaching the tool. Running the tool without lubrication is likely to cause damage to the components causing
premature replacement.
