Maintenance instructions

General maintenance

• The employer and the operator are responsible
for assuring that the tool is kept in safe working
order. Furthermore, only authorized TJEP service
personnel or TJEP distributors shall repair the
tool and must use parts or accessories that are
supplied or recommended by Kyocera Unimerco
Fastening.
• Keep the tool in clean condition at all times. Wipe
off grease or oil with dry clean cloth to prevent
accidental drop of the tool.
• Use TJEP lubricator in the air plug (D) of the tool
very frequently. As the tool strikes several times
when firing a fastener, the O-rings of the piston
needs extra lubrication.
• Avoid any use of solvent base cleaner to clean the
tool, as certain solvent will damage or weaken the
composite parts of the tool.
• All screws and nuts should be kept tight and
undamaged. Loose screws may result hazard situ-
ations and cause severe personal injury or parts
breakage.
• It is recommended to use a filter and regulator on
the compressor.
• On a daily basis empty the compressor tanks for
water.
• NEVER use a tool if there is any doubt.

Cold weather

• When operating the tool in temperatures near and
below freezing, the moisture in the air line may
freeze and prevent the tool from operating.
• Reduce the air pressure to 80 psi (5.5 bar) or less.
• Remove all fasteners from the magazine.
• Connect the compressor and blank-fire the tool, as
slow speed operation tends to warm up the moving
parts.

Storage

• When not in use for an extended period, apply
a thin coat of lubricant to the steel parts to avoid
rust. Do not store the tool in a cold weather
environment. When not in use, the tool should
be stored in a warm and dry place. Keep out of
children's reach.

Disposal

• Disposal of the tool must be carried out according
to the instructions given by the local authorities.
