Alpha Tool.Com.HK Limited Polisher AIR658AIR680 Maintenance Card User Manual

							Maintenance and Usage Tips for the Alpha® AIR-658
•	At the end of each workday, 2-3 drops of AIR-008, solvent free oil (included with 
each polisher) should be placed in the air inlet at the base of the too\
l. Rotate the 
spindle counter clockwise, by hand 3-4 revolutions. (Replacement containers of 
oil may be purchased from Alpha Professional Tools® Part No. AIR-008.)
•	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.
•	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,	 profilers)	 on	the	
spindle	 of	tool	 for	extended	 periods	of	time;	 this	may	 result	 in	making	 it	difficult	 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.
•	Operating the tool at a pressure that exceeds the recommended operating 
specifications	 of	85-90	 PSI	or	without	 the	silencer 	system	 may	result	 in	premature 	
failure of the tool.
•	The	silencer,	 Part	No.	658-52,	 was	replaced	 by	our	 new	 Silencer	 System.		 This	
new	system	 consists	 of	a	Body	 Gasket	 Part	No.	658-89	 and	Silencer	 Part	No.	
658-90,	 both	of	these	 parts	have	to	be	 installed	 in	order	 for	the	 system	 to	work	
correctly.  This system will create backpressure inside of the tool to slow it do\
wn 
to the recommended RPM’s, and reduce the noise level below 80 dBA. 
•	During the use of Alpha® Core Bits and Alpha®	Profilers,	 use	of	the	 “C-Shape”	
handle	 is	recommended.	 The	C-Shape	 handle	will	allow	 the	operator	 to	have	
better control and ease of operation during these applications.  Excessi\
ve force 
or impact to the spindle may result in premature failure of gears and/or\
 bearings, 
which may not be immediately evident.
