Any defective or improperly functioning fastener driving tool must immediately be
disconnected from the compressed air supply and passed to a specialist for
inspection.
In the event of longer breaks in work or at the end of the working shift, disconnect
the tool from the compressed air supply and it is recommended to empty the
magazine.
The compressed air connectors of the fastener driving tool and the hoses should
be protected against contamination, the ingress of coarse dust chips, sand etc, will
result in leaks and damage to the fastener driving tool and the couplings.
5. Maintenance
Disconnect the tool from the compressor before adjusting, clearing jams,
servicing &maintenance, relocating and during non operation.
Regular lubrication, if your tool without using the in-liner automatic oilier, place
2 or 6 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each work day or after
2 hours of continuous use depending in the characteristic of work piece or type
of fasteners.
Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically, and worn or broken parts
must be replaced to keep the tool operating safely and efficiently. Check and
change all worn or damaged O-ring, Seals, etc. Tighten all the screws and
caps to avoid personal injury. This should be done by an expert.
Make regular inspection for free movement of trigger, spring and safety
mechanism to assure safe system is complete and functional: no loose and
missing parts, no building or stocking parts.
Keep magazine and nose of tool clean and free of any dirt lint or abrasive
particles.
When temperatures are below freezing, tools should be kept warm by any
convenient, safe method.
