Novatek Long Reach 2 Foot Length Needle Scaler

Placing Tool in Service

• Always install, operate, inspect and maintain this product in accordance with all applicable standards and regulations (local, state, country, federal, etc.).
• Compressed air models always use clean, dry air at 90 psi (6.2bar/620kPa) maximum air pressure at the inlet. Higher pressure may result in hazardous situations including excessive speed, rupture, or incorrect output torque or force.
• Electric models must always utilize proper gauge, and rated electrical cords with correct connections.
• Be sure all hoses and fittings are the correctly sized and secured.
• Ensure an accessible emergency shut off has been installed in the air or electrical supply line.  Make others aware of its location.
• Do not use damaged, frayed, or deteriorated air hoses and fittings.
• Always use proper gauge electrical cords with correct connections. (When applicable.)
• Electric models must not use damaged, frayed, or deteriorated electrical cords and connections.
• Keep clear of whipping air hoses. Shut off the compressed air before approaching a whipping hose.
• Always turn off and disconnect the tool from its power supply before installing, removing or adjusting any accessory, or before performing
  any maintenance on the tool.
• Do not lubricate tools with flammable or volatile liquids such as kerosene, diesel or jet fuel. Use only recommended lubricants.
• Keep work area clean, uncluttered, ventilated and illuminated.
• Keep all electrical connections clear of water or other liquids. (When applicable.)
• Do not operate the machine while flammable or volatile liquids such as gasoline, diesel or jet fuel are present. Failure to do so can result in
  explosion. (When applicable.)
• Do not remove any labels. Replace any damaged label.
  
  

Using The Tool

• Always wear protection when operating or performing maintenance on this tool.
• Always wear hearing protection when operating this tool.
• Always use Personal Protective Equipment appropriate to the tool used and material worked. This may include dust mask or other breathing apparatus, safety glasses, ear plugs, gloves, apron, safety shoes, hard hat and other equipment,
• Prevent exposure and breathing of harmful dust
  and particles created by power tool use:
• Some dust created by power sanding, sawing, and grinding, drilling, and other construction activities contains chemicals known to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm. Some examples of these chemicals are:
• - Lead from lead based paints, Crystalline silica from bricks and cement and other masonry products, and Arsenic and chromium from chemically treated lumber. Your risk from these exposures varies, depending on how often you do this type of work. To reduce your exposure to these chemicals: work in a well ventilated area, and work with approved safety equipment, such as those dust masks that are specially designed to filter out microscopic particles.
• Keep others a safe distance from your work area, or ensure they use appropriate Personal Protective Equipment.
• This tool is not designed for working in explosive environments, including those caused by fumes and dust, or near flammable materials.

Read all instructions and data in operation and maintenance manual prior to operation of  this equipment.
These instructions are for your protection and convenience. Please read them carefully since failure to follow the precautions could result in injury. Whenever using electric powered equipment, basic safety precautions should be followed.

Prior to use

1. Place three drops of oil into the air inlet using light machine oil. 
2. The compressed air should be free from moisture and contamination. The installation of a filter/regulator/lubricator air preparation set (with moisture trap) is strongly recommended.
3. Ensure that only 3/8” (10mm) bore airline is used and that all Couplings are tight and in good condition.
4. Limit the length of airline to 50ft. Where extra length is necessary, for each additional 50ft of airline, the pressure drop is approximately 4psi at 100 psi (0.2bar at 6.9bar).
5. Check that the tool is mechanically sound and all airlines are leak free and in good condition.

In Use

1. Maintain contact with the work surface with sufficient pressure only to keep the tool stable. Excessive operator pressure will not improve tool efficiency. Handled in this way, the tool will cover a greater area more effectively leaving a more regular finish on the surface.
2. In particularly cold temperatures it is recommended that propriety anti-freeze lubricating oil is to be used.
3. Avoid letting the operating pressure fall below 80psi (5.5bar) or rise about 100psi (6.9bar). NOTE: The correct operating pressure is 90psi (6.2bar). 
4. DO NOT use the scaler as a lever – if the chisel or scraper becomes embedded in the material being removed,
   withdraw the scaler and try again.
5. Never allow the tool to run continuously while it is not in use by taping up the throttle lever. Always use the right type of
   needle or chisel.

Fitting the Chisel/ Scraper Holders

1. Before fitting the chisel / scraper holder, disconnect the air supply to the tool.
2. To fit the holder, make sure that the cap head screw is free and screw the holder onto the cylinder and tighten cap head screw.
3. To secure the chisel / scraper, insert hexagon shank into holder and turn the knurled collar until the retaining ball is visible.
4. Locate the indentation of the chisel / scraper on the ball and give the collar half a turn to lock the chisel/ scraper into the
   holder.
5. Reverse the procedure for removal.

Fitting the Needle Scaling Attachment

1. Before fitting the needle scaling attachment, disconnect the air supply to the tool.
2. Assemble the parts: anvil, needle holder, needles, spring as show on the service layout and place inside the intermediate tube.
3. Thread this tube assembly onto the cylinder and tighten cap head screw.
4. Fit front tube onto the intermediate tube until 1” (25mm) of needle length protrudes from the front tube. Tighten the cap head screw.
5. When changing or replacing needles, take care to note how all parts fit together within the intermediate tube as incorrect assembly of these parts will result in damage to the tube.
6. As needles wear, adjust front tube so that 1” (25mm) of needle is always protruding.

Lubrication

Oil the tool daily during use through the air inlet using an industry approved lubricant such as one of those listed below.
Always use clean oil from a sealed container whenever possible. All of the following lubricants are ISO.VE22 grade.
SHELL             Naturelle HF
CASTROL       Carelube HTG 22
