Frost or ice
could form inside
tool affecting
operation
and damaging
tool.
Use a cold temperature
lubricant,
such as ethylene
glycol,
when operating
tool in freezing
temperatures.
Refer to Figure
10.
LUBRICATION
Lubricate tool dally with quality air tool oil. If no air line lubri-
cator is used, place five or six drops of oil into air inlet cap
(Figure 10, Key No. 57) of tool everyday.
MAGAZINE
AND
PISTON-RAM
•
Keep magazine
and nose of tool clean and free of any dirt,
lint or abrasive
particles.
The tip of the ram (Figure
10, Key No. 16) can become
dented
or rounded
over time.
•
Square
off the tip of the ram with a clean,
fine hand
file to
extend
the life of the ram and tool. Fastener
firing will be
more consistent
if the ram tip is kept clean and square.
