MAINTENANCE
LUBRICATION
Routine lubrication of the tool is required for best performance. An automatic in-line oiler is recommended.
If tool is used without an in-line oiler, place 4 to 5 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet of the tool at
the beginning of each workday or after about 1 hour of continuous use. Oil added through the air inlet will
lubricate the internal moving parts.
CLEANING
Keep the tool clean for better and safer performance. Wipe the tool clean with a damp towel and some soft
soap. Blow the tool clean using compressed air. Only use non-flammable cleaning solutions to wipe exterior
of the tool if necessary.
CAUTION: Do not soak tool with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
INSPECTION
1. Inspect the trigger and safety mechanism to assure the system is complete and functional (no loose or
missing parts, no binding or sticking parts). Do not operate if any portion of the tool, trigger, or safety bracket
is damaged, inoperable, disconnected, or altered. Any issues with the tool such as leaking air, damaged parts,
or missing parts should be repaired or replaced before use.
2. Inspect the tool and make sure all screws are tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage
the tool.
3. Check the filter of the air compressor weekly. All compressed air contains moisture and other contaminants
that are detrimental to internal components of the tool. Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of
pneumatic tool wear. Regularly drain water and contaminations out from the compressor. An air line filter is
recommended to remove most of these contaminates and prolong the life of the tool. Follow the compressor
instructions to check the filter of the air compressor.
STORAGE
Place the tool and accessories inside the blow mold case to protect it from dust and moisture. Store the unit
and accessories in a dark, dry, frost-free and well ventilated place, out of the reach of children. The ideal
storage temperature is between 50 to 86°F (10 and 30°C).
PRODUCT DISPOSAL
Used pneumatic tools contain recyclable materials and should not be disposed with household waste. Please
take this product to your local recycling facility for responsible disposal and to minimize its environmental
impact.
WARNING: Disconnect tool from air supply and empty fasteners from the magazine before per-
forming any cleaning or maintenance.
