OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TROUBLESHOOTING
Note:
Solvent sprayed on the nose to clean and free up the push lever
may have the opposite effect.The solvent may soften the tar on the
shingles and cause tar buildup to be accelerated.Dry operation is better.
• Lubrication: If the air-powered finish nailer
and the compressor are not equipped with
an in-line lubrication system, place up to
6 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air
inlet before each work day or after every 2
hours of continuous use, depending on the
characteristics of the workpiece and type
of fasteners used.
• Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically and worn or broken parts must be
replaced to ensure that the tools are operating safely and efficiently.
• Inspect and replace worn or damaged O-rings, seals, etc. Tighten all screws and caps
frequently in order to help prevent personal injury.
• Keep the magazine of the tool clean and free of any dirt or abrasive particles.
