MODEL: PBR50
LUBRICATION
The tool is uniquely designed not to need daily
lubrication. But lubrication is required for best
performance after long periods of use. Oil for
pneumatic fastening tools is added through the air
line connection and will lubricate internal parts. Do
not use detergent oil or additives. These lubricants
will cause accelerated wear to the seals and
bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
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,
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 tool's operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
⒈
The air compressor must be able to maintain a
minimum of 60 psi when the tool is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of
power and inconsistent driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation
⒉
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.
⒊
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, whichever is greater.
Use 3/8 air hose for runs up to 50 and use a
"
'
3/8 quick coupler on the air hose.
"
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor,
⒋
with an operating pressure of 0-125 psi. A
pressure regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the tool between 60 and
100 psi.
CAUTION:
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60psi 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
which can potentially exceed 200psi. As
tool may burst, possibly causing injury.
