Use only approved fasteners in the tool, and ensure that they are
correct for the application.
Ensure that a male air fitting is securely connected to the tool.
Test the tool by driving fasteners into a workpiece identical to the
tool’s application.
Check the tool for air leaks during testing and for the proper
sequence of operation.
Ensure that all fasteners are driven to the same depth and that the
crown of the fastener is flush with the workpiece.
MAINTENANCE
TOOL LUBRICATION
It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping
the air line lubricator filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper
lubrication the tool will not work properly and parts will wear
prematurely.
Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator
should be of the low air flow or changing air flow type, and should
be kept filled to the correct level. Use only recommended lubricants.
Substitutes may harm the rubber compounds in the tool “O” rings
and other rubber parts.
If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air system,
air-operated tools should be lubricated at least once a day with 6 to
20 drops of oil, depending on the work environment, directly
through the male air fitting in the tool housing.
Most minor problems can be resolved quickly and easily using the
maintenance table that follows. If problems persist, contact your
local dealer for assistance.
