INSPECTION, MAINTENANCE, AND CLEANING

Anytime any maintenance or repairs are done, FIRST:

1.Disconnect the Nailer from its air supply.

2.Empty the Magazine Assembly (70) completely.

3.Attempt to fire the Nailer into a piece of scrap wood to ensure that it is disconnected and is incapable of firing any Brads.

1.Inspect the air supply Screen that is located in the End Cap (81) before each use, and clean or replace as necessary. Dirt and water in the air supply Screen are major causes of pneumatic tool wear. Use a filter in the compressed air system for better performance and longer tool life. The filter must have adequate flow capacity for the specific application.

2.Clean the external parts of the Nailer with a clean cloth and mild detergent or non-flammable solvent. Then, dry.

3.Store the tool in a clean, dry, safe location out of reach of children.

4.CAUTION: All maintenance, service, or repairs not listed in this manual are only to be attempted by a qualified service technician.
