MAINTENANCE

CLEAN AND INSPECT DAILY

Disconnect tool from air supply before cleaning and inspection. Correct all problems before placing the tool back in use.

Wipe tool clean and inspect for wear or damage. Use non-flammable cleaning solutions to wipe exterior of tool only if necessary. DO NOT SOAK tool with cleaning solutions. Such solutions can damage internal parts.

Inspect trigger and safety mechanism to assure system is complete and functional: no loose or missing parts, no binding or sticking parts.

Keep all screws tight. Loose screws can cause personal injury or damage tool.

If tool is used without an in-line oiler: place 5 or 6 drops of Porter-Cable Air Tool Oil into the air inlet of the tool at the beginning of each workday.
