assure that all moving. Frequent, but not exces-
sive lubrication is required for the best perfor-
mance. Oil added through the air line connection
will lubricate the inside parts. An automatic oiler
is recommended, but 2 drops of oil may be added
manually into the tool’s air intake at the male
quick-connect fitting (
F, fig.1
) 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 pool 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 accelerated wear on the seals.

nants out of the air tank.

tions can damage internal parts. The exposed
