MAINTENANCE
Your tool will last longer and perform better if periodic maintenance is
performed. Please use the information below to keep your tool operating in
top condition.
Lubrication
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Apply three
drops of air tool oil (provided) in the air inlet before each use, and after
every 1000 fasteners driven. If the tool will be used outside in the winter,
use a winter grade air tool oil to help keep frost from forming inside the
tool. Do not use other types of lubricants on this tool, as other lubricants
may contain chemicals harmful to o-rings and other tool components.
Cleaning
Disconnect tool from the air supply and remove all fasteners. Brush tool
off using a parts cleaning brush or clean rag. Brush out dirt and debris
