Maintenance (Continued)
2. Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up. Place 2-3
drops of pneumatic fastening tool oil into air inlet. Do
not use detergent oils, oil additives, or air -tool oils.
Do not use detergent oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals
and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.
3. After adding oil, run tool briefly. Wipe off any excess
oil from the cap exhaust.

Recommended hookup

1. The air compressor must be able to maintain a
minimum of 70 psi when the tool is being used. An
inadequate air supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
2. An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation through
the tool. A filter can be used to remove liquid and
solid impurities which can rust or gum up internal
parts of the tool.
3. Always use air supply hoses with a minimum working
pressure rating equal to or greater than the pressure
from the power source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi,
CAUTION: Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
CAUTION: 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 your warranty.

Cleaning

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.
CAUTION: Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products, penetration
oils, ect. come in contact with plastic parts.
Chemicals can damage, weaken or destroy
plastic which may result in serious personal injury.

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 lubricant or
permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol) as a cold weather
lubricant.
CAUTION: 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.
whichever is greater. Use 3/8 in. air hose for runs up
to 50 ft. and use a 3/8 in. quick coupler on the air
hose.
4.
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor, with an
operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A pressure regulator
is required to control the operating pressure of the
tool between 70 and 115 psi.
CAUTION: The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 70 psi when the tool is
being used. An inadequate air supply can cause a
loss of power and inconsistent driving.

WARNING: Do not connect with an air
compressor that can potentially exceed 200 psi.
As tool may burst and cause injury.

Corrective action

1. Tighten screws.
2.
Install overhaul kit.
Add about 2-3 drops of
1.
lubrication into the air connector.
2. Make sure the air compressor is
set between 70 psi and 115 psi.
3. Clean exhaust channel .
1. Replace spring.
2. Use 16 gauge L cleat nails &
15.5 gauge staples.
1. Fix the drive channel.
2. Replace the piston.
3. Remove the bent fasteners
4. Clean magazine.
5. Tighten screws.
6. Verify that fasteners are the
correct size.
