MAINTENANCE

Air-operated tools must be inspected periodically, and worn

or broken parts must be replaced to keep the tool operating

safely and ef

ciently. Also the items on the maintenance

chart must be checked often.

Cold Weather Care

When temperatures are below freezing, tools should be

kept warm by any convenient, safe method. If this is not

possible, the following procedure should be used to warm

up the tools.

❑ Reduce the regulated air pressure to 30 psi.

❑ Remove all fasteners from the tool.

❑ Collect an air line and blank fi

re the tool. The reduced

air pressure will be enough to free-fire the tool. Slow speed

operation tends to warm up the moving parts. Slowing up

the piston helps the bumper and the O-rings to become

springy.

❑

Once the tool is warmed up, readjust the regulator to the

proper working pressure and reload the tool.

❑

Tool operators working outdoors or in unheated areas in

extremely cold temperatures should also:

Use pneumatic oil with antifreeze in the

lubricator, Part No. 219090 (8oz.)

Once a week, depending on the amount of tool

use, take the tool apart and wash away any sludge

with tool cleaner ( Part No. 219348) to keep the

tool operating efficently.

Cleaning the air-operated tools with solvents removes the

thin coating of grease applied to the cylinder wall and

O-rings at the factory. To replace this coating of grease,

use Chemplex grease (Part No. 403734).

❑ Open the drain on the air compressor tank to drain any

moisture at least daily in extremely cold or humid weather.

A few ounces of anti-freeze in the tank will keep the air

free of frost.

Testing the Tool After Servicing

After replacing any part or parts, it is important to check

the tool for proper operation. This ensures that the tool

was put together correctly, is safe to use, and will perform

the job properly.

❑ Ensure that all hardware is tight.

❑

Ensure that the work contacting element is installed

correctly in relation to the trigger, and that both parts move

freely.

❑ Ensure that the magazine is properly attached.

❑

Ensure that the required safety information on the tool

is legible.

❑ Use only Paslode®

approved fasteners in the tool, and

ensure that they are correct for the application.

❑

Ensure that a male air fitting is securely connected to

the tool.

❑ Test the tool by driving fasteners into a workpiece iden-

tical to the tool's application.

❑

Check the tool for air leaks during testing and for the

proper sequence of operation.

❑

Ensure that all fasteners are driven to the same depth

and that the crown of the fastener is flush with the work-

piece.

Tool Lubrication

It is most important that the tool be properly lubricated by

keeping the air line lubricator fi

lled 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 Paslodeʼs recommended lubricants. Substitutes may

harm the rubber compounds in the tools O-rings and other

rubber parts. Part No. 403720 is a pneumatic lubricanting

oil specially made for pneumatic applications.

If a filter/regulator/lubricator is not installed on the air sys-

tem, air operated tools should be lubricated at least once

a day with 6 to 20 drops of oil, depending on the work en-

vironment, directly through the male fitting in the tool

housing.

Most minor problems can be resolved quickly and easily

using the maintenance table that follows. If problems per-

sist, contact your Paslode® dealer for assistance.

Paslode tools are built for ease of maintenance.

A few simple details will assure trouble-free operation and

long tool life. Anyone who uses or maintains the tool must

read the safety and maintenance instructions. Study the

schematic drawing before starting any repairs on the tool.
