Each tool requires: 87 PSI (
0.6Mpa / 6 bars)
; however the range of 85-90 PSI
is acceptable.
(6 kg / cm2) of air pressure and 15 CFM (420 l / min.) of air fl ow.
We suggest a minimum of 5 HP air compressor with a holding tank of 50
cubic feet (1,400 l) capacity for one tool.
Air hose fi tting is 1/4” BSPP
The use of heavy duty 3/8” (10mm) hose is suggested for all lines.
LUBRICATION (Lube Oil is used to protect the tool from rusting when not in use)
PROPER CARE AND LUBRICATION ARE IMPORTANT FACTORS IN THE USEFUL
LIFE OF THIS TOOL.
At the end of each workday, 2-3 drops of lubricant oil, solvent free oil (included with
each polisher) should be placed in the air inlet at the base of the tool. Rotate the
spindle counter clockwise, by hand 3-4 revolutions. Reinstall the air hose and run
the tool for a minute or two. (Replacement containers of oil may be purchased from
Alpha Professional Tools
®
Part # AIR-008.)
Maintenance and Usage Tip
Automatic oilers are not recommended: the volume, grade, and composition of oil
used may cause premature failure. In-line air dryers are recommended to extend
the life of the tool. Old or worn compressors, which emit oil through the air lines,
can dramatically shorten the life of the tool.
SPINDLE SIZE
The Alpha
®
AIR-658 air polisher features a 5/8”-11 size spindle. This tool has
been designed for portable/shop production and uses all modern accessories.
It is very important that you do not run anything heavier than the recommended
accessories on this machine. A drop of oil should be applied to the outside
threads whenever attachments are changed to facilitate removal and prevent
rust. A 22mm Spindle Wrench is provided to assist in changing accessories.
Maintenance and Usage Tip
Do not leave the tool submersed in water. This could expose the inner
moving parts to moisture, which will shorten the life of the tool.
Do not leave threaded accessories (backer pads, core drill bits, profi lers) on
the spindle of tool for extended periods of time; this may result in making it
diffi cult to remove these accessories.
Excessive force or impact to the spindle may result in premature failure of
gears and/or bearings, which may not be immediately evident.
