CLEANING & LUBRICATION
CleaningLubricating
Use a good solvent to clean the nose assembly of the nailer. Always be sure that the nailer is dry before using it again.
Do not allow dust, chips, sand, etc. into the air connectors or into the body of the nailer; this may result in leaks and damage to the nailer 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!
Use a quality pneumatic tool oil with your new Shop Fox nailer to help maintain its useful life. Place two to six drops of oil in the nailer air inlet (as shown in Figure 6) before every use, or after 2 hours of continuous use. Wipe off any excess oil near the nailer 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 nailer will not be necessary. Just make sure there is always oil in the lubricator.
