WARNING:
Disconnect the tool from the air source
whenever clearing a jam. After
disconnecting the tool from the air
compressor, there should still be enough
air pressure to fire the tool. After the air
hose is disconnected, always fire the tool
into scrap wood repeatedly to make sure
all of the compressed air is expended.

LUBRICATION
Frequent, but not excessive, lubrication is required
for best performance. Oil for the tool added through
the air line connection add will lubricate the internal
parts. Do not detergent oil or additives as these
lubricants will cause accelerated wear to the seals
and bumpers in the tool, resulting in poor tool
performance and frequent tool maintenance.
CAUTION:
Lubricate tool only with specified
lubricants.
CLEA ING
N
Avoid using solvents when cleaning plastic parts.
Most plastics are susceptible to damage from
various types of commercial solvents and maybe
damaged by their use. Use clean cloths to remove
dirt, dust , oil, grease, etc.
!
WARNING:
Do not at any time let brake fluids,
gasoline, petroleum-based products,
penetration oils, ect. come in contact
with plastic parts. Chemicals can damage,
weaken or destroy plastic which may
result in serious personal injury.
COLD WEATHER OPERATION
For cold weather operation, near and below freezing,
the moisture in the air line may freeze and prevent
tool operation. We recommend the use of air tool
lubricant or permanent antifreeze (ethylene glycol)
as a cold weather lubricant.
CAUTION:
Do not store tools in a cold weather
environment to prevent frost or ice
formation on the tools' operating valves
and mechanisms that could cause tool
failure.
