Maintenance and Care of Pneumatic Tools

The service life and performance of pneumatic tools depend largely on how well they’re maintained. Regular care helps minimize malfunctions, prevent hazards, extend tool lifespan, and ensure safe and efficient operation.

• Daily Care Guidelines:

  1. Follow relevant operating procedures and instructionsUse the tool according to proper guidelines. Avoid overloading it, and always ensure it is safe and ready for operation.

  2. Lubricate before and after each useInject 3–5 drops of professional pneumatic tool lubricant into the air inlet, then idle the tool for 1–2 seconds to thoroughly lubricate internal parts. Do not use motor oil or WD-40 as a substitute.

  3. Inspect the tool and air supply lineCheck for wear, cracks, air leaks, corrosion, or bulging. If you notice any damage, replace affected components immediately to ensure proper function and safety.

  4. Clean the exterior after useWipe down the surface with a clean cloth. Use compressed air to remove dust and debris from tight spaces and ventilation areas.

• Storage Tips:

  1. Store pneumatic tools in a dry, clean environment, away from moisture and corrosive substances.

  2. Apply anti-rust oil and cover the tool with a dust guard if it will not be used for an extended period.

  3. Keep tools in a toolbox or special storage case to prevent damage from impact or environmental exposure.

• Routine Maintenance:

  1. Regularly check seals, air filters, and moving parts; replace worn components as needed.

  2. Drain the air compressor tank after use to prevent moisture buildup that can damage internal parts.

  3. If the tool is used frequently, maintain a schedule for inspections and minor servicing.
