__________are available in floor or table top models. The motor can usually be fitted with a variety of other tools such as meat grinder or a slicer/shredder, making it even more useful.It is also used to process moderate or large quantities of food to her uniform size, such as chopping onions or grinding bread for crumbs. The food is placed in a large bowl rotating beneath a hood, where curve blades chop it.

Alwayslubricate an air tool before and after use. While pressingthe air tool"s trigger, squirt a few drops of air tool oil intothe tool"s air inlet fitting. Not only will the oil protect theinternal parts of the tool during use, but it will also pre-vent the internal parts from rusting during storage. A

Air Wrenches Air wrenches, or impact wrenches, provide a veryfast means of installing or removing threaded fasteners.Look at Figure 4-2A. An impact wrench uses com~pressed air to rotate a driving head. The driving headholds a special impact socket. B Impact wrenches come in 3/8//, 1/2"/, and 3/4/1 drivesizes.

Air Ratchet hammering attachments are available. Be sure to select the correct one for the job. An air ratchet is a special impact wrench designedfor working in limited space. Look at Figure 4-2B. For Warning! Never turn an air hammer on unless the toolinstance, an air ratchet is commonly used when removingwater pumps.

It can be used to wash parts that will not fit into a cleaning tank.A.~ Caution! Know when and when not to use power tools. In most situations, power tools will speed up your wo~k. However, there are many times when they should not be used. For example, never use an impact wrench in place of a torque wrench. An impact wrench will not torque crit- ical fasteners to their correct specification. Problems and comebacks will result.

Air Drill An air drill is excellent for many repairs because ofits power output and speed adjustment capabilities. Itspower and rotating speed can be set to match the job athand. Look at Figure 4-5. With the right attachments, airdrills can drill holes, grind, polish, and clean parts. A rotary brush is used in an air or electric drill forrapid cleaning of parts, Figure 4-6. It can quickly removeold gasket material, carbon deposits, and rust with a min-imum amount of effort. An abrasive pad is another type of cleaning tool thatcan be used in an air or electric drill. It is used for Figure 4-7. This die grinder is equipped with a high-speedremoving old gasket material. It has the advantage of not stone.

To be safe, always adjust an air drill to the slowest acceptable speed when using a - Bench Grinder rotary brush. Also, always wear eye protection. A bench grinder can be used for grinding, cleaning, or polishing operations, Figure 4·8. A bench grinder usually has two wheels-a grinding wheel and a wire wheel. The hard, abrasive grinding wheel is used for sharpening and deburring. The soft wire wheel is used for cleaning and polishing. A few bench grinder rules to follow are: • Always wear eye protection and keep your hands away from the wheel. • Make sure the grinder shields are in place.

Hydraulic pressure is not used; therefore, the operating pressure is much lower. An arbor press is suited for smaller jobs.

Oxyacetylene Torch An oxyacetylene torch can be used to heat, cut, weld, or braze metal parts, Figure 4-20. The oxy- acetylene setup consists of an oxygen tank, an acetylene tank, pressure regulators, hoses, and a hand-held torch. Tremendous heat is produced by the burning acetylene gas and oxygen. The oxyacetylene cutting torch is often used to remove old, rusted exhaust systems. To use an oxyacetylene cutting torch: 1. Put on all necessary protective gear, including a welding helmet or goggles, welding gloves, and a leather jacket. 2. Inspect the oxyacetylene equipment forFigure 4-18.
