proper location.
PAGE 6
LUBRICATION AND MAINTENANCE
Do not store the tool in cold weather. Frost
or ice can form on the operating valves or
mechanisms and the tool may not operate
correctly.
In cold weather operation (near or below
freezing), DO NOT USE a permanent
antifreeze such as ethylene glycol for a
cold weather lubricant. This type of
anitfreeze will damage o-rings and seals
of the tool.
2. Turn the tool so the air inlet is facing up
3. Wipe off excessive oil at the exhaust.
one drop of DeVilbiss AC230 Air
and put
Tool Oil, high speed spindle oil, such as
Unocal RX22, or 3-in-1 oil into the air
inlet. DO NOT USE detergent oil or additives. Operate the tool briefly after adding oil. (See Figure 1)
DO NOT OVER LUBRICATE AIR TOOL.
NOTE
Many air tool users find it convenient to use
an Oiler to help provide oil circulation
through tool. An Oiler also increases the
efficiency and useful life of the tool. An oiler
is recommended for tools that receive heavy
or constant use. Check oil level in the oiler
daily. (See Figure 2)
Many air tool users find it convenient to use
a Filter to remove liquid and solid impurities which can rust or "gum up" internal
parts of the tool. A Filter also increases the
efficiency and useful life of the tool. Drain
water from the filter periodically. (See
Figure 3)
Proper lubrication is the owner's re-
NOTE
sponsibility. Failure to lubricate the tool
properly will dramatically shorten the life
of the tool and void your warranty.
Your tool requires lubrication before
you use it for the first time and before
and after each additional use. If an Oiler
is used, manual lubrication through the air
inlet is not required on a daily basis.
Lubrication prevents wear and prevents
rust from forming.
1. Disconnect the air supply from the tool
before manually lubricating.

NOTE
Excessive oil will damage o-rings and
seal of tool. If in-line oiler is used,
manual lubrication through the air
inlet is not required on a daily basis.
Do not use any type of flammable gases
or oxygen as a power source for the tool.
Use filtered, lubricated, regulated compressed air only. Use of compressed gas
instead of compressed air may cause
the tool to explode and cause death or
serious personal injury.
Do not use a check valve or any other
fittings which will allow air to remain in
the tool. Serious personal injury or property damage could occur.
Always connect the Female Quick Coupler to the air hose. Never connect the
Female Quick Coupler to the tool.
Never carry the tool by the hose or pull
the hose to move the tool or a compressor. Keep hoses away from heat,
oil, and sharp edges. Replace any
damaged, weak or worn hoses.
The air compressor must be able to maintain
a minimum of 65 PSI when the tool is being
used. An inadequate air supply can cause a
loss of power or inconsistent operation.
NOTE
For better performance, install a 3/8"
Quick Connector (1/4" NPT threads)
with an inside diameter of .315 (8 mm) on
your Tool and a 3/8" Quick Coupler onthe air hose. A minimum of 3/8" I.D. air
hose with a rated working pressure of
150 PSI or above should be used.
Use a Pressure Regulator on your
compressor with an operating pressure
of 0-125 PSI. A Pressure Regulator is
required to control the operating pressure of your tool. Refer to the label on
your nailer/stapler for the maximum
P.S.I.
