MAINTENANCE
CAUTION:
Before attempting to perform
inspection or maintenance, always release the
trigger and disconnect the air hose from the tool.
NOTICE:
Never use gasoline, benzine, thinner,
alcohol or the like. Discoloration, deformation or
cracks may result.
Nails
Handle nail strips and their box carefully. If the nail
strips have been handled roughly, they may be out of
shape, causing poor nail feed.
Avoid storing nails in a very humid or hot place or place
exposed to direct sunlight.
Maintenance of nailer
Always check the tool for its overall condition and loose
screws before operation. Tighten as required.
With tool disconnected, make daily inspection to assure
free movement of the contact element and trigger. Do not
use tool if the contact element or trigger sticks or binds.
When the tool is not to be used for an extended period
of time, lubricate the tool using pneumatic tool oil and
store the tool in a safe place. Avoid exposure to direct
sunlight and/or humid or hot environment.

Maintenance of compressor, air set
and air hose
After operation, always drain the compressor tank and
the air filter. If moisture is allowed to enter the tool, it
may result in poor performance and possible tool failure.

Check regularly to see if there is sufficient pneumatic
tool oil in the oiler of the air set. Failure to maintain suffi-
cient lubrication will cause O-rings to wear quickly.

Keep the air hose away from heat (over 60°C, over
140°F), away from chemicals (thinner, strong acids or
alkalis). Also, route the hose away from obstacles which
it may become dangerously caught on during operation.
Hoses must also be directed away from sharp edges
and areas which may lead to damage or abrasion to
the hose.
