COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
CAUTION:
Do not store in cold environment. 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 (page 8)
LUBRICATION
This is an oilless tool. No lubrication is necessary.
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 (Fig. 10, No. 11) 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.
SAFETY
MECHANISM
CHECK
Inspect contact trip safety mechanism daily for proper opera-
tion. Do not operate tool if mechanism is not operating
properly.
With the red push-button switch in the rapid-fire mode, per-
form the following procedures to test safety mechanism:
•
Leave trigger untouched while pushing contact trip into
workpiece. Tool must not fire.
•
Pull trigger while contact trip is clear of work and pointed
away from operator and others. Tool must not fire.
•
Depress and hold trigger. Push contact trip against work
where fastener is needed. The tool should drive only one
fastener each time the contact trip is pushed against
workpiece.
If contact trip mechanism
does not operate properly,
repair tool immediately
through Sears Service Center.
Replace any damaged or missing parts. Use the parts list to
order parts.
REBUILD
KITS
Rebuild kits are available as spare parts, (see page 9). Tools
should be rebuilt if tool fails to operate properly after extended
use. See troubleshooting to determine required replacement
parts.
Disconnect tool from air supply before attempting
repair
or adjustment.
NOTE: When replacing O-rings or cylinder, lubricate with
grease before assembly.
