NAILER/STAPLER MAINTENANCE
DAILY MAINTENANCE
CAUTION
Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection. Correct all
problems before putting the tool back in service.
=
Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flamable
cleaning solutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. Do Not Soak tool
with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.
=
Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and
functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts.
=
Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage the
tool.
=
If the tool is used without an in-line oiler, place 2 drops of air tool oil into
the air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday and after about
1 hour of continuous use.
Frequent but not excessive lubrication is required
for best performance. Oil added through the airline connection will lubricate all
internal parts. Use only air tool oil. Do not use oil with detergents or other ad
-
ditives. These can cause damage through accelerated wear to the seals in the
tool.
=
Use a small amount of oil on all exterior moving parts and pivots.
=
Dirt and water in the air supply are major causes of pneumatic tool wear. See
the section on SETUP: AIR SOURCE above for more information.
=
Keep tools clean for better and safer performance. Use non-flammable clean
-
ing solutions sparingly and only if necessary. Do not soakparts in the solu
-
tions. CAUTION: Such solutions may damage O-rings and other parts.
