Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up. Place 2
3 drops of pneumatic fastening tool oil into air
inlet. Do not use detergent oils, oil additives, or
air- tool oils
-
as these lubricants will cause
accelerated wear to the seals and bumpers in
the tool, resulting in poor tool performance and
frequent tool maintenance.

Each tool is packed with an anti- dust cap on the air
connector,
Keep the anti- dust cap cover on the air connector
when the tool is not in use.

Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust, oil, grease, etc.
CLEANING
Do not , at any t ime, let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum- based products,
penet rat ing oils, ect., com e in cont act

environment to prevent frost or ice

failure.
CA UTI ON :
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent
tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool
lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol)
as a cold weather lubricant.
RECOM MENDED HOOK U P
The air compressor must be able to maintain a
minimum of 70psi when the tool is being used.
An inadequate air supply can cause a loss of
power and inconsistent driving.
An oiler can be used to provide oil circulation
through the tool. A filter can be used to remove
liquid and solid impurities which can rust or gum
up internal parts of the tool.
Always use air supply hoses with a minimum
working pressure rating equal to or greater than
the pressure from the power source if a regulator
fails, or 150psi, whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air
hose for runs up to 50'. Use 1/2" air hoses for 50'
run or longer. For better performance, install a
3/8" quick plug(1/4" NPT thread) with an inside
diameter of 0.315" (8mm) on the tool and 3/8"
quick coupler on the air hose.
Use a pressure regulator on the compressor,
with an operating pressure of 0- 125psi. A
pressure regulator is required to control the
operating pressure of the tool between 70psi and
115psi.

Lubrication is required for best performance after
long periods use. Oil for pneumatic fastening tools is
added through the air line connection and will
lubricate 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.
