Read Safety Instructions on page 4.
The employer is responsible for ensuring that tool maintenance instructions are given to the appropriate personnel.

Daily
•
Daily, before use or when first putting the tool into service, pour a few drops of clean, light lubricating oil into the air inlet of the tool if no
lubricator is fitted on air supply. If the tool is in continuous use, the air hose should be disconnected from the main air supply and the tool
lubricated every two to three hours.
•
Check for air leaks. If damaged, hoses and couplings should be replaced.
•
Check for oil leaks.
•
If there is no filter on the pressure regulator, bleed the air line to clear it of accumulated dirt or water before connecting the air hose to the
tool. If there is a filter, drain it.
•
Check that the nose assembly is correct for the fastener to be placed.
•
Ensure Deflector

•
Check the stroke of the tool meets the minimum specification (page 5). The last steps of the Priming Procedures on pages 19 and 20 explain
how to measure the stroke.
•
Check that the anvil is not worn. This can be confirmed by referring to the installed data on the fastener datasheet. Excessive wear can
cause the anvil to rupture.
