Other lubricants may damage the mechanism and may be highly flammable, causing an explosion.

Note: These procedures are in addition to the regular checks and maintenance explained as part of the regular operation of the air-operated tool.

1.BEFORE EACH USE, inspect the general condition of the tool. Check for:

•loose hardware or housing,

•misalignment or binding of moving parts,

•cracked or broken parts, and

•any other condition that may affect its safe operation.

2.Daily - Air Supply Maintenance:

Every day, perform maintenance on the air supply according to the component manufacturers' instructions. Maintain the lubricator's oil level. Drain the moisture filter regularly.

Performing routine maintenance on the air supply will allow the tool to operate more safely and will also reduce wear on the tool.
