4. When the tool is not to be used for an extended period of
time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and store
the tool in a safe place.
5. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and/or a humid or hot
environment.
Cleaning
1. Keep the tool’s air vents unclogged and clean at all times.
2. Remove dust and dirt regularly. Cleaning is best done
with a soft brush or a rag.
3. Re-lubricate all moving parts at regular intervals.
4. If the body of the framing nailer needs cleaning, wipe it
with a soft damp cloth. A mild detergent can be used but
nothing like alcohol, petrol or other cleaning agent.
5. Never use caustic agents to clean plastic parts.
CAUTION. Water must never come into contact with
the tool.
Maintenance of compressor,
air settings and air hose
1. After operation, always drain the compressor tank and
the air filter.
2. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool, it may result in
poor performance and possible tool failure.
3. Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C), away
from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or alkalis).
4. Also, route the hose away from obstacles which it may
become dangerously caught on during operation.
5. Hoses must also be directed away from sharp edges and
areas which may lead to damage or abrasion to the hose.
Repairs
Only an authorised service centre should carry out repairs
on air tools.
