MAINTENANCE
Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are done:
◆
Disconnect the tool from the air source.
Empty the magazine completely.
◆
WARNING:
!
Each tool is packed with an anti-dust cap on the air
connector,
Keep the anti-dust cap cover the air connector
when the tool is not in use.
check it after unpacking.
ANTI DUST CAP
-
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, ect., come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
WARNING:
!
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.
CAUTION:
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent
tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool
lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol)
as a cold weather lubricant.
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEANING
RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
CAUTION:
Do not connect with an air compressor
which can potentially exceed 200psi. As
tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
WARNING:
!
The air compressor must be able to maintain a
minimum of 60psi when the tool is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of
power and inconsistent driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation
through the tool. A filter can be used to remove
liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum
up internal parts of the tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a minimum
working pressure rating equal to or greater than
the pressure from the power source if a regulator
fails, or 150psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air
hose for runs up to 50'. Use 1/2" air hoses for 50'
run or longer. For better performance, install a
3/8" quick plug(1/4" NPT thread) with an inside
diameter of 0.315" (8mm) on the tool and 3/8"
quick coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor,
with an operating pressure of 0-125psi. A
pressure regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the tool between 60psi and
100psi.

During normal use the tool will recoil
immediately after driving a fastener. This
is a normal function of the tool. Do not
attempt to prevent the recoil by holding
the tool against the work. Restriction to
the recoil can result in a second fastener
being driven from the tool. Grip the
handle firmly and let the tool do the work.
Failure to heed this warning can result in
serious personal injury.
WARNING:
!
Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up. Place 2
3 drops of pneumatic fastening tool oil into air
inlet. Do not use detergent oils, oil additives, or
air-tool oils
-
as these lubricants will cause
accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in
the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and
frequent tool maintenance.
2.
Disconnect the air supply from the tool to add
lubricant.
⒈
After adding oil,
run too briefly. Wipe off any excess oil
from the cap exhaust.
connect the tool to the air
source,
l
3.
The work surface can become damaged
by excessive lubrication. Proper
lubrication is the owner's responsibility.
Failure to lubricate the tool properly will
dramatically shorten the life of the tool
and void your warranty.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
CAUTION:
LUBRIFICATION
Lubrication is required for best performance after
long periods use. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools is
added through the air line connection and will
lubricate internal parts. Do not use detergent oil or
additives as these lubricants will cause accelerated
wear to the seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting
in poor tool performance and frequent tool
maintenance.
