We all know the joy of receiving a package! The eagerly awaited product is quickly unpacked and immediately put into operation. It looks good and feels good to the touch. Now everything will be easier to handle - the purpose of investing in good tools. This tool should also justify its investment costs. For this, it needs a maximum long service life.
However, the service life and durability of tools depend on important factors:
- The correct maintenance
- The correct operating parameters
- Accessories to be used
- Safety and hazard warnings
Maintenance:
For this, the prescribed intervals, as outlined in the operating manual, are crucial. For instance, daily or weekly lubrication of the tool, along with regular cleaning, plays a significant role.
The operating parameters:
The maximum drive pressure holds particular significance here. Every operating manual specifies and mandates the maximum input pressure. Often, compressed air supplies operate at pressures higher than what is optimal for the tool. By using filter regulators and safety valves, the necessary measures can be implemented to ensure the maximum operating pressure. Furthermore, the temperature range should not be underestimated. Machines and tools are manufactured from various materials and consequently have different temperature limits. Both the ambient temperature and the medium being transported can quickly surpass these limits, potentially leading to unexpected material failures.
Accessories used:
To ensure maximum functionality and longevity, it is best to use original accessories. Important parameters are guaranteed by using the correct and suitable accessories, for instance, the proper material specifications for sockets. Do not use hand-operated sockets (these are not suitable for impact tools). Only use sockets specifically designed for impact tools. You will find the appropriate tool accessories in our extensive range. We would be happy to advise you.
These are not only a legal obligation but also in your own interest for accident-free work.
With all these recommendations, I wish you much enjoyment with your tools.
