3. Cleaning and removal of tar and dirt

Tar and dirt may build up on the nose and push lever. This can prevent correct operation.

Clean and remove tar and dirt with kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel.

NEVER USE GASOLINE or other highly flammable liquids.

Vapor of such liquids inside the Nailer could be ignited by a spark produced during nailing, which can cause an explosion.

1Immerse only the area around the outlet in solvent.

Do not immerse the magazine or body. Plastic parts and O-ring may be damaged.

2Dry off the Nailer before use. Any oil film left after

cleanup will accelerate the tar buildup, and the Nailer will requite more frequent re-cleaning.

3Make sure the push lever operates properly.

WARNING

￿Never use Nailer unless push lever is operating properly.

NOTE:

￿Solvents sprayed on nose to clean and free up the push lever may have the opposite effect. The solvent may soften the tar on the shingles and cause tar buildup to be accelerated. Dry operation is better.

4. Inspecting the magazine

1DISCONNECT AIR HOSE.

2Clean the magazine. Remove dust or wooden tips which may have accumulated in the magazine.

5.Storing

￿When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin coat of the lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.

￿Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment. Keep the Nailer in a warm area.

￿When not in use, the Nailer should be stored in a warm and dry place.
