Ensure the duty cycle is followed with a maximum of 30 minutes use per hour. If the
tool still gets excessively hot allow further cooling time as other factors including
ambient temperature may increase the required cooling time. Running the tool well
within the duty cycle may increase the working life of the tool

Check all fittings are correctly tightened. If any fittings are repeatedly
becoming loose check the fittings order is correct and add spring washers
or lock nuts if necessary
