Maintenance
ANTI-DUST CAP
WARNING: Any time inspection, maintenance, and
cleaning are done:
Disconnect the tool from the air source.
Empty the magazine completely.
Each tool is packed with an anti-dust cap on the air
connector, check it after unpacking.
Keep the anti-dust cap covering the air connector when
the tool is not in use.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for best
performance. Oil for the tool added through the air line
connection add will lubricate the internal parts. Do not
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.
CLEANING
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.
WARNING: 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.
COLD WEATHER
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.
CAUTION: 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
.
Maintenance (Continued)
The air compressor must be able to maintain a minimum
of 70 psi 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 150 psi, whichever
is greater. Use 3/8 in. air hose for runs up to 50 ft. and use
a 3/8 quick coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an
operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is
required to control the operating pressure of the tool
between 70 psi and 115 psi.

WARNING:
Do not connect with air compressor which
can potentially exceed 200 psi. As tool may burst,
possibly causing injury.
CAUTION: The air compressor must be able to maintain
a minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used. An
inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.

Disconnect the air supply from the tool to add lubricant.
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.
After adding oil, run tool briefly. Wipe off any excess oil
from the cap exhaust.
CAUTION: Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
