CLEANING & LUBRICATION
Cleaning
Use a good solvent to clean the nose
assembly of the nailer. Always be sure
that the nailer is dry before using it
again.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc.
into the air connectors or into the body
of the nailer; this may result in leaks
and damage to the nailer and the air
couplings.
Lubricating
Standard pneumatic tool oil has been
included with your new Shop Fox nailer
to help maintain its useful life. Place two
to six drops of oil in the nailer air inlet
(as shown in
Figure 7
) before every use,
or after 2 hours of continuous use.
Wipe off any excess oil near the nailer
exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When the
oil that was included with the nailer has
been completely used, replace with a
quality pneumatic tool oil.
Another option to manual oiling would
be to install a lubricator in your air
compressor line. If your air compressor
line already has a lubricator, then regular
lubrication of your nailer will not be
necessary. Just make sure there is always
oil in the lubricator.

personal injury or even death!
