LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is
required for best performance. The oil added
through the air line helps to prevent rust and
lubricate the internal parts of the nailer. Do not
use detergent oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the
seals and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor
tool performance and frequent tool
maintenance.
Disconnect the tool from the air source to
1.
add the lubricant.
2.
Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up.
Place 2 - 3 drops of pneumatic fastening
tool oil into air inlet. Do not use detergent
oils, oil additives, or other air-tool oils as
these lubricants will cause accelerated
weartothesealsandbumpersinthetool,
resulting in poor tool performance and
frequenttoolmaintenance.

3.
After adding oil, connect the tool to the
air source, run tool briefly. Wipe off any
excess oil from the cap exhaust.
C AUTION:
Only lubricate
the
tool
with
the
specified lubricants.
C AUTION:
The work surface can become damaged
by
e xce ssi ve
l u br i cat i on . Pr ope r
lubrication is the owner's responsibility.
Failure to lubricate the tool properly will
dramatically shorten the life of the tool
and void your warranty.
CLEANING
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic
parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and may
be damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to
remove dirt, dust , oil, grease, etc.
!
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, etc.,come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can
damage, weaken or destroy plastic
which may result in serious personal
injury.

COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below
freezing, the moisture in the air line may freeze
and prevent tool operation. We recommend the
use of air tool lubricant or permanent antifreeze
(ethylene glycol) as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the
tool is being used. An inadequate air
supply can cause a loss of power and
inconsistent driving.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tool's operating valves
and m echanisms t hat c ould c ause t ool
failure.

RECOMMENDED HOOKUP
1.
The air compressor must be able to
maintain a minimum of 60 psi when the tool
is being used. An inadequate air supply can
cause a loss of power and inconsistent
driving.
2.
An oiler can be used to provide oil
circulation through the tool. A filter can be
used to remove liquid and solid impurities
which can rust or gum up internal parts of
the tool.
3.
Always use air supply hoses with a
minimum working pressure rating equal to
or greater than the pressure from the power
source if a regulator fails, or 150 psi,
whichever is greater. Use 3/8" air hose for
runs up to 50in and use a 3/8" quick coupler
on the air hose.
4.
Use a pressure regulator on the
compressor, with an operating pressure of
0-125 psi. A pressure regulator is required
to control the operating pressure of the tool
between 60 psi and 110 psi.
!
WARNING:
Do not connect with an air compressor
which can potentially exceed 200 psi.
The tool may burst, possibly causing
injury.
