Model H7826 Flooring Nailer-12-
SECTION 4: MAINTENANCE
Cleaning
DISCONNECT THE AIR SUPPLY! Use a
good solvent to clean the nose assembly
of the nailer. Always be sure that the nailer
is dry before using it again.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into
the air connectors or into the body of the
nailer; this may result in leaks and dam-
age to the nailer and the air couplings.
Never use gasoline or other flamma-
ble liquids to clean this tool. Vapors
in the tool may ignite, causing the
tool to explode. Ignoring this warning
may lead to serious personal injury or
even death!
To replace a piston:
1. DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2. Remove all nails from the magazine
cartridge and remove the base plate.
3. Remove the cap screws shown in
Figure 8 that secure the base.
Replacing Pistons/O-
Rings
If you use your nailer day in and day
out, repair pistons are cheap insurance
against wasted down time and lost profits,
in the event that a piston or piston shaft
becomes worn out. Refer to the break-
down diagram in the back of the manual for
part numbers and ordering information.
Disconnect air from nailer whenev-
er servicing! During maintenance, a
nailer connected to air may fire acci-
dentally, causing serious personal
injury!
