MAINTAINING THE PNEUMATIC TOOL
When ordering replacement parts, be sure to specify the part number. Do not order by item number or description:
order only by part number. Do not wrench, twist or force any parts during servicing, as damage may result from such
abuse.
Be sure all screws are checked periodically for tightness. Observe caution against stripping threads when tightening
screws.
If the stapler is disassembled for replacement of parts, clean and remove particles of grit and dirt. Lubricate all moving
parts after cleaning. Apply Magnalube®-G or equivalent to all O-rings. Examine all parts for wear during servicing so
that replacement parts can be ordered in advance of trouble.
IMPORTANT: A PERIODIC CHECK SHOULD BE MADE OF THE DRIVE BUMPER, RETURN BUMPER, AND THE
PISTON PLUG. A WORN BUMPER SHOULD BE REPLACED BEFORE DAMAGE CAN OCCUR TO THE RELATED
PARTS. IF THE DRIVE BUMPER OR PISTON PLUG IS SEVERELY CHIPPED IT SHOULD BE REPLACED
IMMEDIATELY. CHECK FOR AIR LEAKAGE ABOUT RETURN BUMPER. REPLACE IF NECESSARY.
The machine should be cleaned periodically like all tools which are subjected to dirt and grit.
NOTE: FOR BEST RESULTS, WHEN REASSEMBLING VALVE HOUSING ASSEMBLY TO CYLINDER, TIGHTEN
VALVE HOUSING UNTIL CONTACT IS MADE WITH TOP OF CYLINDER. BACK OFF VALVE HOUSING UNTIL
TRIGGER IS CONVENIENTLY LOCATED, PREFERABLY TO THE REAR OF THE MACHINE.
When servicing the tool, be sure to replace the bumpers, piston plug and O-rings. Omission of these parts will result in
serious damage or air leakage.
LUBRICATION
Use Air Tool Lubricant, Mobil Velocite #10, or equivalent, for all normal conditions. Do not use detergent oil. Tools
which are in constant operation should be lubricated daily with a reasonable amount of oil. Lubricate regularly
instead of excessively.
FILTER-REGULATOR-LUBRICATOR
See manufacturer’s instructions for maintenance of this unit. It should be thoroughly cleaned periodically for best
results. Dirt in air lines may damage precision cylinders and clog valves.
RESPONSIBILITY FOR EYE PROTECTION
Because this tool can cause flying fasteners or debris, safety eye protection is necessary for both users of the tool
and those in the immediate working area. Employers and purchasers of this tool are in the best position to ensure
that these persons use eye protection.
DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY BEFORE SERVICING THE TOOL.
EYE PROTECTION which conforms to ANSI / CE specifications and provides
protection against flying particles both from the FRONT and SIDE should ALWAYS
be worn by the operator and others in the work area when connecting to air supply,
loading, operating or servicing this tool. Eye protection is required to guard
against flying fasteners and debris, which could cause severe eye injury.
The employer and/or user must ensure that proper eye protection is worn. Eye
protection equipment must conform to the requirements of the ANSI Z87.1 and
89/686/EEC, and provide both frontal and side protection. NOTE: Non-side shielded
spectacles and face shields alone do not provide adequate protection.
