Lubrication instructions
Rust protection and cleaning
Water in the compressed air can cause rust. To prevent rust we strongly recommend to install an air dryer.
Water and particles can cause sticking of vanes and valves. This can be prevented by installing an air fil-
ter close to the product to avoid pressure drop.
Before longer standstills always protect your tool by adding a few drops of oil into the air inlet. Run the tool
for 5–10 seconds and absorb any access oil at the air outlet in a cloth.

Oil level in the Pulse unit
The right oil level in the Pulse unit is important for the tool to work correctly.
The need to add oil to the Pulse unit will vary depending mainly on the number of tightening, torque level
and number of pulses (tightening time).
Operating the tool on a low oil level will result in faster wear of the parts in the Pulse unit. It will also
affect the tool performance and accuracy.
Always check the tightening torque after filling the oil, see Residual torque measurement on actual
joint.
How to detect a low oil level in the Pulse unit:
■
Longer tightening time
■
Very high pulse frequency, especially when the tool has not been used for a while.
■
Low torque or abnormal torque changes (increased scatter).
■
No shut-off
