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.
