User-Maintenance Instructions
Procedures not specifically explained in this manual must be performed only by a qualified technician.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION,
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS ARE DONE (including clearing jams):
•Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields.
Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.
•Release the trigger.
•Detach the air supply.
•Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it
is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.
•Empty the magazine and leave it open during service.
The Magazine is spring-loaded and may cause parts or a fastener to fly out of the Tool.
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM TOOL FAILURE:
Do not use damaged equipment.
If abnormal noise, vibration, or leaking air is detected, have the problem corrected before further use.
TO PREVENT EXPLOSION: Lubricate only with specified lubricants. Lubricate the air inlet using
only pneumatic tool oil. Lubricate the internal mechanism using only white lithium grease.
Other lubricants may damage the mechanism and may be highly flammable, causing an explosion.
Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance
explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.
1. BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general
condition of the tool. Check for:
• loose hardware or housing,
• misalignment or binding of moving parts,
• cracked or broken parts, and
• any other condition that may
affect its safe operation.
2. Daily - Air Supply Maintenance:
Every day, perform maintenance on the air supply
according to the component manufacturers'
instructions. Maintain the lubricator's oil level.
Drain the moisture filter regularly.
Performing routine maintenance on the air
supply will allow the tool to operate more safely
and will also reduce wear on the tool.
Clearing Jams
TO PREVENT SERIOUS INJURY FROM ACCIDENTAL OPERATION,
BEFORE ANY MAINTENANCE OR REPAIRS ARE DONE (including clearing jams):
•Wear ANSI-approved safety goggles with side shields.
Other people in the work area must also wear ANSI-approved impact safety goggles with side shields.
•Release the trigger.
•Detach the air supply.
•Attempt to fire the Tool into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it
is disconnected and is incapable of firing any fasteners.
•Empty the magazine and leave it open during service.
The Magazine is spring-loaded and may cause parts or a fastener to fly out of the Tool.
1. If a fastener is jammed in the
discharge area, remove it with pliers.
2. If a fastener is jammed in the magazine, pull the
Pusher all the way back to the engaged position.
Use a screwdriver to release the jammed fastener
by probing the openings in the magazine.
3. Pull out the jammed fastener and the remainder of
the fastener strip from the magazine.
Dispose of the remaining fastener strip;
it is likely bent or damaged and may cause repeated
jamming or damage to the tool if reused.
4. If the jam cannot be cleared using the method above,
have the tool serviced by a qualified technician.
