Imprimer la pageCan I use motor oil to lubricate the AIR-300? How about WD40?
No. You can not use motor oil for lubrication. The AIR-300 requires special lightweight pneumatic oil for maintenance.
These types of lubricants can cause the vanes to stick in the rotor. We recommend Alpha® Lubrication Oil for
Pneumatic Tools (Part No. AIR-008). You can purchase genuine Alpha® parts from our website www.alpha-tools.com
Can I use an automatic oil feeder in the air supply line?
No. The volume, grade, and composition of oil used may cause premature failure. The AIR-300 does not require much
oil so a few drops a day at the end of operations should be enough for maintenance. We recommend inserting 2 -3
drops of Pneumatic Oil in the air line and running the AIR-300 for about 1minute on a daily basis at the end of your
work shift.
How much horsepower should my compressor have to operate one air polisher?
The airflow needs to run at 10 CFM in order to run one air polisher. Therefore, you will need a minimum of 3HP per tool
efficiently operate the AIR-300. A 3HP compressor is highly recommended as the minimum requirement for one
AIR-300. If a second polisher is added or planned for future growth, the air flow requirement increases 10 CFM per tool
and the horsepower increases 3HP per tool.
Can I use my AIR-300 as a wet cutting tool with a diamond blade?
No. The AIR-300 has only 5,800 rpm at no load. This is not enough rpm for diamond blade cutting applications. It is
also unsafe to use as a cutting tool. Do not attempt to cut with the AIR-300. Operating the tool at a pressure that
exceeds the recommended operating specifications (85-90 PSI) may result in premature failure of the tool.
Can I use my AIR-300 for dry polishing applications?
Yes. The AIR-300 can be used for dry polishing applications. Use only dry polishing abrasives such as Ceramica DRY,
PVA Quick Change, Sandpaper or other dry polishing pads that can be used under 4,000 loaded RPM.
What is the RPM of the Alpha® AIR-300?
The Alpha® AIR-300 has a no load RPM of 5,800, the RPM of a pneumatic tool will drop to the optimum polishing
speed of 3,500 to 4,500 RPM under load. Do not attempt to increase RPM by increasing PSI due the operating the tool
at a pressure that exceeds the recommended operating specifications (85-90 PSI) as this may result in premature
failure of the tool.
What is the largest diameter accessory that the AIR-300 will accept?
The AIR-300 will accept accessories up to 4". Do not attempt to use accessories larger than 4" for safety reasons. In
addition, large accessories require more torque than the AIR-300 can provide. Operating the AIR-300 under these
conditions will result in an overheating failure.
Can I use the AIR-300 for drilling applications such as faucet holes?
No. We recommend that you use AIR-658 with C-Handle attachment that is available as an optional part and a
template in order to use Alpha® Core Bits to drill faucet mounting holes.
How many gallons of water does the Alpha® AIR-300 use per minute?
The AIR-300 uses 0.5 gallons of water per minute if the needle valve is fully opened.
Helpful Hints
●
Drain compressed air and water daily from air holding tank at the end of work shift to avoid any problems with rust.
●
In-line air dryers are recommended to extend the life of the tool.
●
Check compressors and air lines time to time since old or worn compressors, which emit oil through the air lines,
can dramatically shorten the life of the tool.
●
Do not leave the tool submersed in water. This could expose the inner moving parts to moisture, which will shorten
the life of the tool.
●
Do not leave threaded accessories (backer pads) on the spindle of tool for extended periods of time; this may result
in making it difficult to remove these accessories.
●
Excessive force or impact to the spindle may result in premature failure of gears and/or bearings, which may not be
immediately evident.
