Operation in Cold Weather
When operating tools at temperatures near and below freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent
tool operation:
1.
Reduce the air pressure to 80 psi (5.5 bar) or less.
2.
Removed all fasteners from magazine.
3.
Connect air and free-fire (blank-fire) the tool. Slow speed operation tends to worm up the moving part.
CAUTION:
Do not store tool in a cold weather environment to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools
operating valves and mechanisms that could cause tool failure.
Operation in Hot Weather
Keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can deteriorate bumpers, o-rings and other rubber parts resulting in
increased maintenance.
