MAINTENANCE

WARNING:
When servicing use only identical replacement
parts. Use of any other parts may create a hazard
or cause product damage.
WARNING:
Always wear eye protection with side shields
marked to comply with ANSI Z87.1. Failure to do
so could result in objects being thrown into your
eyes resulting in possible serious injury.
WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air supply before
performing maintenance. Failure to do so could
result in serious personal injury.
GENERAL MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts. Most
plastics are susceptible to damage from various types of
commercial solvents and may be damaged by their use. Use
clean cloths to remove dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids, gasoline,
petroleum-based products, penetrating oils, etc.,
come in contact with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required for
best performance. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools added
through the air line connection will lubricate the internal
parts. Do not use detergent oil or additives as these oils
will cause accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in
the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and frequent
tool maintenance.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing, the
moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent tool operation.
We recommend the use of air tool oil or permanent antifreeze
(ethylene glycol) as a cold weather oil.
NOTICE:
Do not store tools in a cold weather environment
to prevent frost or ice formation on the tools'
operating valves and mechanisms that could
cause tool failure.
NOTE: Some commercial air line drying liquids are harmful
to "O" rings and seals. Do not use these low temperature
air dryers without checking compatibility.
AIR SUPPLY PRESSURE AND VOLUME
Air volume is as important as air pressure. The air volume
supplied to the tool may be inadequate because of
undersized fittings and hoses, or from the effects of dirt and
water in the system. Restricted air flow will prevent the tool
from receiving an adequate volume of air, even though the
pressure reading is high. The results will be a slow operation
or reduced driving power. Before evaluating tool problems
for these symptoms, trace the air supply from the tool to
the supply source for restrictive connectors, low points
containing water and anything else that would prevent full
volume flow of air to the tool.
REQUIRED DAILY CHECKLIST
See Figures 7 and 8, page 16.
 Disconnect the air supply from the tool and remove all
fasteners.
 Check all screws, nuts, bolts, and pins on the tool. If
any of these are loose, they must be tightened with the
appropriate size wrench.
 Press the workpiece contact against a workpiece to
ensure that it moves smoothly.
 With the workpiece contact depressed, pull the trigger.
The trigger should move smoothly, without binding.
 Select the single sequential actuation mode ( ).
 While the tool is not loaded, connect the appropriate air
supply (at 70 psi) to the tool.
