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 use gasoline or other flammable 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!
Standard pneumatic tool oil has been included with your new Shop Fox stapler to help maintain its useful life. Place two to three drops of oil in the stapler air inlet (as shown in Figure 9) before every use, or after 2 hours of continuous use.
Figure 9. Lubricating stapler via air inlet.
Wipe off any excess oil near the stapler exhaust to avoid dust build-up. When the oil that was included with the stapler has been completely used, replace with a quality pneumatic tool oil.
An alternative to manual oiling is to install a lubricator in your air compressor line. A lubricator eliminates the need to oil your tool each time you use it. If you have a lubricator in your air compressor line, ensure it is functioning properly.
