# 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 filter 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.

NOTICE

Do not try to clear the air path using sharp tools.

The air inlet is equipped with a strainer. If this is punctured, foreign objects may harm the valves, resulting in overspeed.
