Maintenance Tips
-
Lubricate Daily – Apply 2-3 drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each use to keep internal parts running smoothly.
-
Use Clean, Dry Compressed Air – Moisture in the air supply can cause rust and internal damage. Use an air filter and regulator for optimal performance.
-
Inspect & Clean the Magazine – Regularly remove dust, debris, and leftover fasteners to prevent jams and ensure smooth nail feeding.
-
Check the Driver Blade & O-Rings – Look for signs of wear or air leaks. Replace damaged components if the nailer misfires or loses power.
-
Keep the Exhaust Vent Clear – Ensure proper airflow by keeping the exhaust port free of dust buildup to prevent overheating.
-
Tighten Screws & Bolts Periodically – Regular use can cause vibration, leading to loose components that may affect performance.
-
Use Correct Fasteners & Air Pressure – Follow manufacturer recommendations for nail size and PSI settings (typically 80-120 PSI) to avoid misfires and tool strain.
-
Store Properly – Disconnect from the air supply when not in use and keep in a dry, clean place to prevent rust and damage.
