# 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 stand stills always protect your tool by adding a few drops of air motor oil into the air inlet. Run the tool for 5–10 seconds and absorb any excess oil at the air outlet in a cloth.
