CLEANING & LUBRICATION
CleaningLubricating
Use a good solvent to clean the nose assembly of the stapler. Always be sure that the stapler is dry before using it again.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into the air connectors or into the body of the stapler; this may result in leaks and damage to the stapler and the air couplings.
Never clean this tool with gasoline or other flammable liquids. Vapors in the tool may ignite, causing the tool to explode. Ignoring this warning may lead to serious personal injury or even death!
Standard pneumatic tool oil has been included with your new Shop Fox stapler to help maintain its useful life. Place two to six drops of oil in the stapler air inlet (as shown in Figure 11) before every use, or after 2 hours of continuous use.
Wipe off any excess oil near the stapler exhaust to avoid dust
Another option to manual oiling would be to install a lubricator in your air compressor line. If your air compressor line already has a lubricator, then regular lubrication of your stapler will not be necessary. Just make sure there is always oil in the lubricator.
