Maintenance; Service - Porter-Cable 121 Instruction Manual

KEEP TOOL CLEAN
Periodically blow out all air passages with dry compressed air. All plastic parts
should be cleaned with a soft damp cloth. NEVER use solvents to clean plastic
parts. They could possibly dissolve or otherwise damage the material.
Wear ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses while using compressed air.
FAILURE TO START
Should your tool fail to start, check to make sure the prongs on the cord plug are
making good contact in the outlet. Also, check for blown fuses or open circuit
breakers in the line.
LUBRICATION
This tool has been lubricated with a sufficient amount of high grade lubricant for
the life of the unit under normal operating conditions. No further lubrication is
necessary.

replacement on this tool should ONLY be performed by an AUTHORIZED
