English 2. Keep the tool as warm as possible prior to use. 3. Make certain all fasteners have been removed from canister. 4. Put 5 to 7 drops of DeWALT Pneumatic Tool Oil or winter weight pneumatic oil containing ethylene glycol in the end cap. 5. Lower air pressure to 80 psi (5.5 bar) or less. 6. Reconnect air and load nails into canister. 7. Actuate the tool 5 or 6 times into scrap lumber to lubricate o-rings. 8. Turn pressure up to operating level (not to exceed 120 psi) and use tool as normal. 9. Re-lubricate with DeWALT Pneumatic Tool Oil or winter weight pneumatic oil containing ethylene glycol in the end cap at least twice a day or after 4 hours of use. Hot Weather Operation Tool should operate normally. However, keep tool out of direct sunlight as excessive heat can damage bumpers, o-rings and other rubber parts. MAINTENANCE WARNING: Disconnect air line from tool and remove fasteners from magazine before making adjustments or personal injury may result. Daily Maintenance Chart ACTION WHY HOW Lubricate tool with 5-7 drops of DeWALT Pneumatic Tool Oil Prevents failure of o-rings Insert drops into air fitting on end cap of tool ACTION Drain compressor tanks and hoses daily WHY Prevents accumulation of moisture in compressor and nailer HOW Open petcocks or other drain valves on compressor tanks. Allow any accumulated water to drain from hoses ACTION Clean canister, feed piston area and contact trip mechanism. WHY Permits smooth operation of magazine, reduces wear and prevents jams HOW Blow clean with compressed air. The use of oils or solvents is not recommended as they tend to attract debris ACTION Before each use, check to ensure all screws, nuts and fasteners are tight and undamaged WHY Prevents jams, leaks and premature failure of tool parts HOW Tighten loose screws or other fasteners using the appropriate hex wrench or screwdriver Cleaning WARNING: DO NOT use gasoline or similar highly flammable liquids to clean the nailer. Vapor could be ignited by a spark, causing and explosion. Tar and dirt may build up on the nose and trip lever preventing correct operation. Remove any buildup with kerosene, #2 fuel oil or diesel fuel. Do not dip the nailer into these solvents beyond the height of the nail heads, to avoid solvent getting into the drive cylinder. Dry off the nailer before use. Any oil film left after cleanup will accelerate the tar build up and the nailer will require more frequent cleaning. 12
