CLEANING & LUBRICATING
Cleaning
Use an automotive grade solvent such as
Sprayway C-60
®
(G2544 in the Grizzly
catalog) to clean the nose assembly of the
stapler. Always be sure that the stapler is
dry before using it again.
Do not allow dust, chips, or sand into the
air connectors or into the body of the sta-
pler; this may result in leaks and damage
to the stapler and the air couplings.
Lubricating
Special pneumatic tool oil has been
included with your new Grizzly stapler to
help maintain its useful life. Place two to
six drops of oil in the stapler air inlet (as
shown in Figure 13) every two hours of
continuous use.
Wipe off any excess oil near the stapler
exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When the
oil that was included with your stapler
has been completely used, replace with
Grizzly Model G2820 Pneumatic Tool Oil.
An efficient alternative to oiling your tool
by hand is to install a lubricator in your air
compressor line. If your air compressor
line already has a lubricator, then regular
lubrication of your stapler will not be nec-
essary. Just make sure there is always oil
in the lubricator.

Never use gasoline to clean this tool.
Use extreme caution when using any
solvent cleaner. Always clean the tool
in a well-ventilated area and never if
sparks or open flames are present.
Remember that electrical machinery
in the area can produce sparks during
normal operation. Ignoring this warn-
ing can cause serious personal injury
or even death!
