CLEARING A JAMMED STAPLE
CAUTION
:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply.
1. Open the magazine cover. Remove any remaining fasteners from the tool.
2. Use a slender, soft steel rod to push the drive blade to its uppermost
position. Remove the jammed fastener with needle nose pliers.
3. Follow instructions in
Preparing the Tool
to reload fasteners.
CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY
CAUTION:
Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection.
Correct all problems before putting the tool back in service.
Frequent, but not excessive lubrication is required for the best performance.
Oil added through the air line connection will lubricatethe inside parts. An
automatic oiler is recommended, but 2 drops of oil may be added manuallly
into the tool’s Air Plug (2001621-47) at the beginning of each workday and
after about every hour of continuous use. Only a few drops at a time are
necessary. More than this will accumulate inside the tool and be expelled
from the tool’s exhaust during firing.
USE ONLY PNEUMATIC TOOL OIL.
Do not use detergent oil or oil with other additives, as these can cause ac-
celerated wear on the seals.
Use a small amount of oil on external moving parts and pivots.
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic tool wear.
Use a filter/oiler for better performance and longer tool life. Ensure the filter
flow capacity is sufficient for the tool’s air volume use.
Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flamable
cleaning solutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. Do Not Soak
tool with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and
functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts.
Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage
the tool.
