Operate this tool at 90 p.s.i.g. (6.2 bar) maximum air pressure
at the air inlet of the tool.
Disconnect air supply from tool before removing/installing
bit,
socket or device attached to tool or performing
maintenance
procedures.
Keep hands, clothing and long hair away from rotating end of
tool.
Anticipate
and be alert for sudden changes in motion during
start up and operation of any power tool.
Never exceed rated r.p.m. of tool.
Wear suitable eye and hearing protection while operating tool.
Tool shaft can continue to rotate briefly after throttle is re-
leased.
Do not lubricate tools with flammable orvolatile
liquids such as
kerosene, diesel or jet fuel.
Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged
label.
Use only accessories
recommended
by ARO.
Repeated prolonged operator exposure
to vibrations which may
be generated
in the use of certain hand-held
tools may produce
Raynaud’s
phenomenon,
commonly
referred to as Whitefinger
disease.
The phenomenon
produces
numbness
and burning
sensations in the hand and may cause circulation and nerve dam-
age as well as tissue necrosis.
Repetitive
users of hand-held
tools who experience
vibrations
should closely monitor duration
of use and their physical condition.
l
The use of other than genuine ARO replacement
parts may
result in safety hazards, decreased
tool performance
and in-
creased maintenance
and may invalidate
all warranties.
l
ARO is not responsible
for customer modification
of tools for
applications
on which ARO was not consulted.
l
Tool maintenance
and repair should be performed by autho-
rized, trained,
competent
personnel.
Consult your nearest
ARO authorized
servicenter.
It is the responsibility
of the employer to place the information
in this manual into the hands of the operator.

Lack of or an excessive
amount of lubrication will affect the perfor-
mance and life of this tool. Use only recommended
lubricants at
below time intervals:
EVERY 8 HOURS OF TOOL OPERATION
- Fill lubricator reser-
voir of recommended
F.R.L. with spindle oil (29665). If an in line or
air line lubricator
is not used, apply several drops of spindle oil
(29665) in air inlet.
EVERY 160 HOURS OF TOOL OPERATION
- Lubricate gear-
ing. Pack bearings, coat shafts and lubricate gears with NLGI #1
“EP” grease
(33153). Gearing should contain approximately
1/16
oz. (1.8 g) of grease.
AIR SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
For maximum operating efficiency, the following air supply specifi-
cations should be maintained
to this air tool:
l
AIR PRESSURE
- 90 p.s.i.g. (6.2 bar)
l
AIR FILTRATION
- 50 micron
l
LUBRICATED
AIR SUPPLY
l
HOSE SIZE - 5/16” (8 mm) I.D.
An ARO@ model C28231-810
air line FILTER/REGULATOR/LU-
BRICATOR
(F.R.L.) is recommended
to maintain the above air
supply specifications.
RECOMMENDED
LUBRICANTS
After disassembly
is complete, all parts, except sealed or shielded
bearings, should be washed with solvent. To relubricate
parts, or
for routine lubrication, use the following recommended
lubricants:
Where Used

Description
Air Motor
29665

INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE AND INSTALLATION
Disconnect
air supply from the tool or shut off air supply and ex-
haust (drain) line of compressed
air before performing
mainte-
nance or service to the tool.
It is important that the tools be serviced and inspected at regular
intervals for maintaining
safe, trouble-free
operation of the tool.
Be sure the tool is receiving adequate lubrication,
as failure to Iu-
bricate can create hazardous operating conditions resulting from
excessive
wear.
Tool maintenance
and repair shall be performed
by authorized,
trained, competent personnel. Tools, hose and fittings shall be re-
placed if unsuitable
for safe operation
and responsibility
should
be assigned to be sure that all tools requiring guards or other safe-
ty devices shall be kept in legible condition. Maintenance
and re-
pair records should be maintained
on all tools. Frequency
of
repair and the nature of the repairs can reveal unsafe application.
Scheduled
maintenance
by competent
authorized
personnel
should detect any mistreatment
or abuse of the tool and worn
parts. Corrective action should be taken before returning the tool
for use.
Disassembly
should be done on a clean work bench with a clean
cloth spread to prevent the loss of small parts. After disassembly
is completed, all parts should be thoroughly washed in a clean sol-
vent, blown dry with air and inspected for wear levels, abuse and
contamination.
Double sealed or shielded bearings should never
be placed in solvent unless a good method of re-lubricating
the
bearing is available.
Open bearings
may be washed but should
not be allowed to spin while being blown dry.
Upon reassembling,
lubricate parts where required. Use 33153
grease, or equivalent,
in bearings.
Use 36460 lubricant for “0”
ring assembly. When assembling
“0” rings or parts adjacent “0”
rings, care must be exercised
to prevent damage to the rubber
sealing surfaces. A small amount of grease will usually hold steel
balls and other small parts in place while assembling.
When replacement
parts are necessary, consult drawing contain-
ing the part for identification.
Always use clean, dry air. Dust, corrosive fumes and/or excessive
moisture can damage the motor of an air tool. An air line filter can
greatly increase
the life of an air tool. The filter removes
rust,
scale, moisture and other debris from the air lines. Low air pres-
sure (less than 90 p.s.i.g.) reduces the speed of the air tool. High
air pressure (more than 90 p.s.i.g.) raises performance
beyond
the rated capacity of the tool and could cause injury. Shown below
is a typical piping arrangement.
