SECTION 6: MAINTENANCE

Disconnect the stapler from the air supply before cleaning. 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 sta- pler; this may result in leaks and damage to the stapler and the air couplings.
Never use gasoline or other flamma- ble liquids to clean this tool. Vapors in the tool may ignite, causing the tool to explode. Ignoring this warning may lead to serious personal injury or even death!
Place two to six drops of pneumatic tool oil in the nailer air inlet (as shown in Figure 11) every 2 hours of continuous use. Wipe off any excess oil near the nailer exhaust to avoid dust
Figure 11. Lubricating stapler via air inlet.
Another option to manual oiling would be to simply install a lubricator in your air compressor line. If your air compressor line already has a lubricator, then regular lubrication of your nailer will not be neces- sary. Just make sure there is always oil in the lubricator.
