TOOL PARTS TO BE CLEANED OR REPLACED:
Inside
Receiver
Barrel
Chamber
Piston
Piston Disk
Rubber Returner
CLEANING THE TOOLS:
With the front of the tool disassembled, and with the provided lubricant and
brushes, spray the lubricant, brush and wipe clean with a clean towel, the
following parts:
1) Piston – make sure to clean the chamber end of the piston and
wipe the shaft clean.
2) Barrel – clean the inside and outside of the barrel, making sure
the chamber end is free of any dirt or debris.
3) Baseplate – remove dirt and residue from inside the baseplate.
4) Receiver – remove dirt and residue from inside the receiver.
5) Magazine – brush and clean any moving parts inside the magazine. Make sure
excess lubricant is wiped clean. Excess lubricant can attract additional dirt.
MAINTAINING THE PTP-27S, PTP-27L, PTP-27SMAGR AND
PTP-27LMAGR TOOLS:
A clean and maintained tool always functions best. These tools should be cleaned after
each day of use or after 1,000 continuous fastenings. While cleaning the tool, check the
wearable parts such as the piston, rubber returner and piston disk for signs of wear or
damage.
WHILE CLEANING THE TOOL, MAKE SURE WEARABLE PARTS
ARE IN GOOD CONDITION.
1) Rubber Returner – if there are signs of cracking or end splitting,
replace the rubber returner.
2) Piston – if the end is flared or the shaft bent, replace the piston
3) Piston Disk – if there are any signs of cracking, replace the piston disk.

The PTP-27S and PTP-27L tools have wearable parts that occasionally need
replacing, and the tool requires periodic cleaning. A PTP-27S is shown below in the
demonstration. The same technique applies to dismantling a PTP-27L.
To dismantle the tools:
1. Pull back on the baseplate
spring latch.
2. Turn the baseplate ¼ turn and slide
the baseplate off the front of the tool.
3. Lift the fastener guide off the barrel.
4. Slide the barrel out of the front
of the tool.
5. Pull the piston out of the front
of the barrel.
6. Slide the rubber returner and piston
disk off the piston.
The front of the tool is now
disassembled for replacing wearable
components, such as the rubber
returner, piston or piston disk.
