WARNING:
To avoid injury, keep fin-
gers completely
above the lower half
of t ool when driving
nails (See F igure

GENERAL
MAINTENANCE
Avoid using solvents when clean-
ing plastic parts.
Most plastics are
susceptible
to damage from various
types of commercial
solvents and
may be damaged by their use. Use
a clean cloth to remove dirt, dust, oil,
grease, etc.
WARNING:
Do not at any time
let brake fluids, gasoline, petro-
leum-based
projects, penetrating
oils, etc., come in contact with plastic
parts.
Chemicals can damage, weak-
en or destroy plastic.
LUBRICATION
Frequent,
but not excessive,
lubrica-
tion is required for best performance.
Lubricate
tool with quality air tool oil.
If no air tine lubricator
is used, place
a few drops of oil into open end of
tool nosepiece.
Oil for pneumatic
fastening tools added through the
airline connection will lubricate the
internal parts.
Do not use detergent
oil or additives
as these lubricants
will
cause accelerated
wear to the seals
and bumpers in the tool, resulting
in
poor tool performance
and frequent
tool maintenance.
COLD WEATHER
OPERATION
For cold weather operation,
near and
below freezing, the moisture in the
air line may freeze and prevent tool
operation.
Use air tool lubricant as a
cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold
weather environment
to prevent frost
or ice formation
on the tool operating
valves and mechanisms
that could
cause tool failure.
NOTE:
Some commercial
air tine
drying liquids are harmful to "O" rings
and seals.
Do not use these low tem-
perature air dryers without checking
compatibility.
AIR SUPPLY
PRESSURE
AND
VOLUME
Air volume is as important as air
pressure.
The air volume supplied to
the too! may be inadequate
because
of undersize fittings and hoses, or
from the effects of dirt and water in the
system.
Restricted air flow will prevent
the toot from receiving an adequate
volume of air, even though the pres-
sure reading is high. The results will
be a slow operation or reduced driving
power.
Before evaluating tool prob-
lems for these symptoms,
trace the
air supply from the tool to the supply
source for restrictive connectors,
low
points containing
water and anything
else that would prevent fuji volume
flow of air to the tool.
