die grinder lubing/grease question

[phn79]

I can't seem to find a manual anywhere.
I thought its was simple as add 1 to 2 drop of oil daily into the air inlet. every other hours of use.

I saw a matco and got confused.
look at this picture
http://www.matcotools.com/catalog/product/MT2887/5-HP-115-DIE-GRINDER/

near the head, it point the arrow to that little air outlet, its said to add oil there daily? or is that for grease?

I have this one
http://www.browntool.com/Default.as...ield=ProductName,ProductNumber&ProductID=1210

so I have to open up the head and add the grease every 8 hours?

any information I appreciated.

It looks like it has a grease port in the head; which you would grease occasionally and you would add air tool lubricant every day in the air inlet when you use it. You grease gun may work fine; just try it out and see if it fits on that particular die grinder.

The grease injector tool that I have used is one like this:

The grease port in the head, just add the grease in there, so no need to open up the head like other mention right?

Not that I am aware of; if there is a port, inject grease in there... done; add your typical air tool oil/lubricant in the air port/connector with daily use.

You should be able to find air tool lubricant at any auto parts store; NAPA sells a nice sized bottle that should last you forever...
