INSPECTION / TOOL MAINTENANCE
1. Ensure that no power loads are loaded
in the tool. Remove the power load strip
by pulling it upwards out of the tool.
2. Hold the tool vertical with the fastener
guide/ magazine pointing upwards.
Unscrew the fastener guide/magazine.
If this is too difficult by hand, use pliers.
3. Take out the piston assembly (piston,
piston return spring and buffer).
4. Push the barrel downwards and
unscrew the collar surrounding the
barrel. Remove the barrel assembly.
5. Check the length of the return spring
using the measuring points located on
the top of the tool housing. This check
should be made every 3,000 shots.
6. CHECK:
•The piston tip - replace if it is damaged.
•Thestraightnessofthepiston–ifitis
not straight, replace it.
•Thepistonbuffer-replaceifitisworn
or less than 3/16” thick.
7. Using wire brushes, thoroughly clean all
internal and external steel surfaces of
any carbon buildup.
It is important to clean a Powder Acuated
Tool weekly. The carbon build up from the
explosive material can decrease the effective-
ness of the tool and if not removed, cause long
term damage to the tool.
CAUTION: The tool may become hot during
operation. Tool maintenance should be
performed when the tool has cooled down
to avoid the possibility of receiving burns to
hands.
OK!
