Powers P3500 - Proper Maintenance and Cleaning

11 P3500
Proper Maintenance and Cleaning
MAKE SURE THE TOOL IS NOT LOADED. BE SURE THE TOOL IS NOT HOT PRIOR TO
ATTEMPTING DISASSEMBLY OR CLEANING.
DAILY FUNCTION TEST
Check the functioning of the tool, without a powder load or fastener in the tool, by pushing down against the work
surface, pulling the trigger, and releasing the tool from the work surface. Function the unloaded tool several times and
insure that the breech parts and firing mechanism operate freely before fastening with the tool.
Your Powers Fasteners Authorized representative should be asked to assist the first time you disassemble and clean
your tool.
If you ever have any trouble reassembling the tool, or have any doubt about worn parts, call your Powers Fasteners
Authorized Powder Distributor.
CLEANING
AIl parts should be cleaned with detergent oil and the wire brushes supplied with your tool kit. Remove heavy dirt
build-up with the brush. After cleaning with oil, all parts should be wiped thoroughly dry. Excess oil will tend to collect
dirt and dust. Wear eye protection when cleaning the tool. The piston rod, barrel assembly, and receiver should all be
cleaned of excess dirt on a daily basis. Check the condition of the piston for damage from wear and deformation.
To maintain this tool in good working condition, it is necessary to disassemble and clean the entire tool if dirt is
evident in the breech face, or if the tool appears to lose power. All parts should be cleaned with oil and wire brushes.
Remove heavy dirt. All parts should be wiped thoroughly dry after cleaning with oil.
General tool maintenance should be performed at six month intervals or more frequently as required by the frequency
of tool use.
