Troubleshooting
At all failures it is first necessary to check whether the
appliance is sufficiently and permanently supplied
with pneumatic oil.
Failure

Air pressure too
low.
•
Hose piping with
a too small
cross section.
•
Appliance not
lubricated.
•
Firing
mechanism
worn out.
•
Gradually
increase the
pressure by 0.5
bar to make
sure nails are
fired properly.
•

at least 6 mm.
•
Clean and
lubricate the
parts.
•
Grind the firing
mechanism
down by app.
0.2 mm.
Failure
Cause
Removal
Nails breaking
and overlapping
•

mechanism off
fray.
Appliance not
working
•
Check the air
inlet. Operating
pressure may
be too low.
•
Increase the
operating
pressure.
However, max.
operating
pressure must
be adhered to.
Irregular
appliance
operation
•
Install a set of pins with a head
valve.

the appliance in
the bottom part
•
Tighten the screws or install the
absorber or a set of pins.

Clean the appliance and install an
absorber or a set of pins.
Other failures
•
Contact an expert, seller or
distributor.

Maintenance table
Following the maintenance instructions specified in
this document will provide this high-quality product
with long and trouble-free operation. Disconnect the
appliance from the compressed air source for
maintenance and treatment. To ensure long and
trouble-free working of your tacker/nailer, it is
necessary to clean it every day and regularly lubricate
it. For this purpose, special tool oil should only be
used:
Via oil mist
lubricator
A complete maintenance unit includes
an oil mist lubricator and is fitted on
the compressor.
Via lubricator on
the piping
In the immediate vicinity of the
appliance (app. 50 cm distance), a
lubricator sufficiently providing the
appliance with oil is installed on the
lubricator piping.
Manually
If your appliance has no maintenance
unit or lubricator on piping, 3-5 oil
drops must be added to the
compressed air connection before the
pneumatic appliance is put into
operation. If the pneumatic appliance
has been out of service for several
days, 5-10 oil drops must be added to
the compressed air connection before
switching the appliance on. Store your
pneumatic appliances only in dry
rooms.
Lubricate the appliance with special oil for pneumatic
appliances using an extension if there has been a long
operation break.
Store the appliance in a cleaned, dry, dust-free condition
and at temperatures above 5° C.
