Displayed emission values are comparative and are to be employed for a provisional assessment of the operator’s risk exposure during the work period. Appropriate evaluation of work period must also include tool’s idle and stop periods. These emission values represent the tool’s main applications. If the tool is used for other applications, with other accessories, or if it does not undergo regular maintenance, emission values can significantly increase during operations.
PARTS OF THE TOOL
- Identification plate
- Compressed air on/off lever
- Speed control
- Tool body
- Compressed air connection with 1/4” thread
- 25/29 mm. int. Ø suction pipe connection (SERIES RH..A and RH..T)
- Silencer
- Suction shroud (SERIES RH..A and RH..T)
- Backing pad
- Back-up pad screw
- Lubricating oil
- Back- up pad spanner
- Filter unit: cartridge (a) and filter holder (b) (RH..T SERIES)
- Dust suction pipe (SERIES RH..T)
STARTING UP
Before starting-up the tool, ensure that:
– the packaging is complete and does not show signs of having been damaged
during storage or transport;
– the available compressed air production and distribution plant is capable of
satisfying the requirements reported on the tool’s identification plate.
ASSEMBLING THE TOOL
Assemble the compressed air connection (not supplied) by screwing it into its
seat (5).
Ensure that, when compressed air is connected, the pneumatic tool activation
switch (2) is disconnected.
For the compressed air supply a compressor complying with the technical
characteristics listed in the tool data label must be used.
All instruments, connection hoses and pipes must be suitable for the
corresponding pressure and quantity of air necessary.
COMPRESSED AIR CONNECTION (NOT SUPPLIED)
The tool is supplied without the compressed air connection; the user can use
either a quick release coupling or hose type connection according to his
needs, as long as they have an hole of air passing mm. 8.
In the latter case the air line must be fixed to the nozzle by a hose clip.
STARTING AND STOPPING
– Starting: push the control lever (2) forward towards the body of the tool
and keep it pressed;
– stopping: release the control lever.
SETTINGS
Before carrying out any work on the tool, always disconnect it from the
compressed air supply.
SELECTING THE RPM
The number of revolutions can be adjusted by using the speed control (3) from
OFF to MAX.
The choice of speed depends on the characteristics of the abrasive paper discs
and the material to be worked.
REMOVING AND MOUNTING THE BACKING PAD
Immediately replace a damaged pad. Optimal results can only be achieved with
original accessories.
Mounting a pad of the wrong size can cause excessive vibrations not acceptable
for the machine.
– Use the spanner (12) to unscrew the back-up pad screw (10);
– reverse the procedure when fitting the pad screw.
FITTING / REPLACING THE ABRASIVE PAPER DISCS
The pad surface is made of material suitable for receiving the abrasive paper
discs and provides easy and quick adhesion of abrasive paper discs.
FITTING:
– Press the abrasive paper disc into the pad ensuring that the holes in the
abrasive paper disc coincide with extraction holes in the pad.
REPLACING:
– Used abrasive paper disc can be removed by simply tearing them off;
– new abrasive paper disc is mounted by simply pressing them into the backing
pad, making sure that the holes cut in the disc coincide with those in the
backing pad.
Note: for optimal adhesion it is recommended to remove dust and dirt from the
pad surface.
USABLE DISCS
Ø 125 mm – Ø mm 150 backed abrasive paper discs with dust extraction holes.
BEFORE STARTING THE TOOL
Ensure that:
– the speed control (3) is in MAX position;
– the compressed air feed line and connection are in perfect working order;
– the start lever is working properly. This must be done with the air supply
switched off;
– all the components of the tool are mounted correctly and do not show any
signs of damage;
– the tool must be connected to a suitable and efficient aspiration device
(SERIES RH..A and RH..T).
TEST RUN
– Start the tool and check that there are no unusual vibration, the abrasive
paper discs are applied correctly (see FITTING /
REPLACING THE ABRASIVE PAPER DISCS)
Otherwise switch-off the tool immediately and eliminate the cause.
– Fix the piece you are working on to avoid any movement during machining.
Always use a mask for jobs generating dust.
MAINTENANCE
All maintenance operations are carried out with the tool disconnected from the
compressed air supply. Maintenance and repair operations must be carried out
by qualified personnel.
At the end of each work session, or when required, remove any dust from the
body of the tool using a jet of compressed air.
ORDINARY MAINTENANCE
Lubricate the machine regularly (every 50 hours of operation) by inserting 2/3
drops of specific oil (11) into the compressed air connection, keeping the
device in a vertical position, with the connection facing upwards. After this
operation, connect the machine to air compressor and set it in motion for a
few seconds. Lubricate the machine as described above before storing it for
long periods of inactivity.
All damages deriving from incorrect or inadequate lubrication are excluded
from the warranty.
No other maintenance operations must be undertaken by the user.
Maintenance and cleaning of the inner parts, must be carried out only by an
authorized customer-service workshop.
Use only RUPES original spare parts.
