8 Care and maintenance

CAUTION
When this type of tool is used under normal operating
conditions, dirt and residues build up inside the tool and
functionally relevant parts are also subject to wear. Reg-
ular inspections and maintenance are thus essential
in order to ensure reliable operation. We recommend
that the tool is cleaned and the piston and piston stop-
per are checked and inspected at least daily when the
tool is subjected to intensive use, at the latest after
driving 3,000 fasteners.
