3.Place 5-7 drops of lubrication into the air inlet before use and clean the pneumatic tool 
after each use.

assembly is not functioning or is restrained.
5.Keep tool pointed away from yourself and others.
6.Connect air hose using only clean, dry, regulated compressed air at 70-100 PSI.

fastener into place.
