NAILER/STAPLER MAINTENANCE

DAILY MAINTENANCE

CAUTION

Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection. Correct all

problems before putting the tool back in service.

= Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-amable

cleaning solutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. Do Not Soak tool

with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.

= 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.

= If the tool is used without an in-line oiler, place 2 drops of air tool oil into

the air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday and after about

1 hour of continuous use. Frequent but not excessive lubrication is required

for best performance. Oil added through the airline connection will lubricate all

internal parts. Use only air tool oil. Do not use oil with detergents or other ad-

ditives. These can cause damage through accelerated wear to the seals in the

tool.

= Use a small amount of oil on all exterior moving parts and pivots.

= Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic tool wear. See

the section on SETUP: AIR SOURCE above for more information.

= Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Use non-ammable clean-

ing solutions sparingly and only if necessary. Do not soakparts in the solu-

tions. CAUTION: Such solutions may damage O-rings and other parts.
