Use and Care Manual

CAUTION - Disconnect tool from air before cleaning and inspections. Correct all problems before operation.
Add pneumatic tool oil into the oiler regularly to ensure the moving components are finely lubricated. Check the
filter of the compressor weekly and switch off the manual valve to drain water and contaminations out. Wipe the
tool clean. Blow the tool clean using high compressed air, then use non-flammable cleaning solutions to wipe ex-
terior of the tool as necessary. Do not soak tool with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
The exposed portion of the small piston rod and feed hook must be kept clean.
Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and functional (no loose or missing parts, no
binding or sticking parts). Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage the tool .Check
if there are worn and damaged parts. If there are, please replace said damaged parts immediately. If used without
an in-line oiler, place 5 or 6 drops of air tool oil into the air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday.
