Proper adjustment of the in-line lubricator is performed by placing a sheet of paper next to
the exhaust ports and holding the throttle open approximately 30 seconds. The lubricator is
properly set when a light stain of oil collects on the paper. Excessive amounts of oil should
be avoided.
In the event that it becomes necessary to store the tool for an extended period of time
(overnight, weekend, etc.), it should receive a generous amount of lubrication at that time.
The tool should be run for approximately 30 seconds to ensure oil has been evenly
distributed throughout the tool. The tool should be stored in a clean and dry environment.
▪ It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by keeping the air line lubricator
filled and correctly adjusted. Without proper lubrication the tool will not work properly
and parts will wear prematurely.
▪ Use the proper lubricant in the air line lubricator. The lubricator should be of low air flow
or changing air flow type, and should be kept filled to the correct level. Use only
recommended lubricants, specially made for pneumatic applications. Substitutes may
harm the rubber compounds in the tools, O-rings and other rubber parts.
7 IMPORTANT!!!
If no filter/ pressure regulator/ lubricator is installed in the compressed air system, then
pneumatic tools must be lubricated with 2 to 6 drops of oil at least once a day or after every
two hours of use. This must be done directly along the male coupler or the screw (OIL)
provided for the purpose on the side of the tool’s housing.
Automatic lubrication is also possible using the supplied mini oiler that you have to install
between the threaded connector of the tool and the male coupler. Make sure that the oiler
is always filled with suitable oil.

8 MAINTENANCE
Disconnect the tool from the compressor before adjusting, clearing jams,
servicing &maintenance, relocating and during non operation.
▪ Regular lubrication, if your tool without using the in-liner automatic oilier, place 2 or 6
drops of pneumatic tool oil into the air inlet before each work day or after 2 hours of
continuous use depending in the characteristic of work piece or type of fasteners.
▪ Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically, and worn or broken parts must be
replaced to keep the tool operating safely and efficiently. Check and change all worn or
damaged O-ring, Seals, etc. Tight all the screws and caps in case personal injury.
▪ Make regular inspection for free movement of trigger, Spring and safety mechanism to
assure safe system is complete and functional: no loose and missing parts, no building
or stocking parts.
▪ Keep magazine and nose of tool clean and free of any dirt lint or abrasive particles.
