Replacing Pistons/
O-Rings
Repair pistons are cheap insurance in the
event that a piston or piston shaft becomes
worn out.
The part number for the repair piston for
this nailer is #PT20644098. To order, call
Customer Service at (800) 527-4777.
Always disconnect air from nailer
whenever servicing! During mainte-
nance, a nailer connected to air may
fire accidentally, causing serious
personal injury!
To replace a piston:
1.
DISCONNECT NAILER FROM THE
AIR SUPPLY!
2.
Remove all nails from the magazine.
3.
Remove the four cap screws on the top
of the nailer, near the exhaust port.
4.
Remove the top cap.
5.
The top of the piston should now be
visible inside the cylinder, which is
housed in the head of the nailer.
6.
Open the magazine.
7.
Watch the discharge area and push the
top of the piston with your finger. You
will see the piston shaft slide down the
discharge area.
8.
With a long flathead screwdriver or sim-
ilarly shaped tool, push the piston shaft
back inside the nailer until you can grip
the piston head and remove it from the
cylinder. (Be careful not to scratch the
discharge area when pushing the pis-
ton shaft with the screwdriver.)
9.
Place a new O-ring on the new piston
and apply a thin film of the nailer lubri-
cating oil on the O-ring.
10.
Insert the new piston in the cylinder.
Make sure that the grooves on the pis-
ton shaft line up with those on the guide
at the bottom of the cylinder. The new
piston should easily slide into the cyl-
inder.
DO NOT force the piston into
the cylinder!
If the piston is not easily
inserted, double-check the alignment of
the piston shaft with the grooves on the
guide.
11.
After the piston is inserted correctly,
close the magazine. Replace the top
cap assembly and tighten the four cap
screws.
