MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
The tool requires lubrication before using the tool for the
first time and before each use. If an inline oiler is used,
manual lubrication through the air inlet is not required on a
daily basis.
1) Disconnect the air supply from the
tool to add lubricant.
2) Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing
up. Place 4-5 drops of 30 W non-
detergent oil into air inlet. Do not
use detergent oils, oil additives or air
tool oils. Air tool oils contain solvents
which will damage the tool’s internal
components.
3) After adding oil, run tool briefly.
Wipe off any excess oil from the cap
exhaust.
CHECKING THE WORK CONTACT ELEMENT (WCE)
1) Disconnect the air supply from the
tool.
2) Remove all fasteners from the
magazine.
3) Make sure the trigger and Work
Contact Element (WCE) move freely
up and down without sticking or
binding.
4) Reconnect air supply to the tool.
5) Depress the Work Contact Element
(WCE) against the work surface
without pulling the trigger. The tool
must not operate. Do not use the
tool if it operates without pulling the
trigger. Personal injury may result.
6) Remove the tool from the work
surface. The Work Contact Element
(WCE) must return to its original down
position. The tool must not operate.
Do not use the tool if it operates while
lifted from the work surface. Personal
injury may result.
7) Pull the trigger and depress
the Work Contact Element
(WCE) against work surface.
The tool must not operate.
8) Depress the Work Contact
Element (WCE) against work
surface. Pull the trigger. The
tool must operate.
NOTICE:
Check the operation of the Work Contact Element
(WCE) trip mechanism before each use. The WCE
must move freely without binding through its entire
travel distance. The WCE spring must return the WCE
to its fully extended position after being depressed. Do
not operate the tool if the WCE trip mechanism is not
operating properly. Personal injury may occur.
NOTICE:
The work surface can become damaged by excessive
lubrication. Proper lubrication is the owner’s responsibility.
Failure to lubricate the tool properly will dramatically
shorten the life of the tool and void the warranty.
WARNING:
An improperly functioning tool must not be used.
Do not actuate the tool unless the tool is placed firmly
against the work piece.
