Tool Oil
WHY Prevents failure of o-rings
HOW Insert drops into air fitting on end cap of tool
ACTION Drain compressor tanks and hoses daily
WHY Prevents accumulation of moisture in compressor and
nailer
HOW Open petcocks or other drain valves on compressor
tanks. Allow any accumulated water to drain from
hoses
ACTION Clean canister, feed piston area and contact trip
mechanism.
WHY Permits smooth operation of magazine, reduces wear
and prevents jams
HOW Blow clean with compressed air. The use of oils or
solvents is not recommended as they tend to attract
debris
ACTION Before each use, check to ensure all screws, nuts and
fasteners are tight and undamaged
WHY Prevents jams, leaks and premature failure of tool
parts
HOW Tighten loose screws or other fasteners using the
appropriate hex wrench or screwdriver
Cleaning
WARNING: DO NOT use gasoline or similar highly flammable
liquids to clean the nailer. Vapor could be ignited by a spark, causing
and explosion.
Tar and dirt may build up on the nose and trip lever preventing correct
operation. Remove any buildup with kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.
Do not dip the nailer into these solvents beyond the height of the nail
heads, to avoid solvent getting into the drive cylinder.
Dry off the nailer before use. Any oil film left after cleanup will
accelerate the tar build up and the nailer will require more frequent
cleaning.
