3. Cleaning and removal of tar and dirt
Tar and dirt may build up on the nose and push lever.
This can prevent correct operation.
Clean and remove tar and dirt with kerosene, #2 fuel
oil or diesel fuel.
NEVER USE GASOLINE or other highly flammable
liquids.
Vapor of such liquids inside the Nailer could be
ignited by a spark produced during nailing, which can
cause an explosion.
1 Immerse only the area around the outlet in
solvent.
Do not immerse the magazine or body.
Plastic parts and O-ring may be damaged.

2 Dry off the Nailer before use. Any oil film left after
cleanup will accelerate the tar buildup, and the
Nailer will requite more frequent re-cleaning.
3 Make sure the push lever operates properly.
WARNING
Never use Nailer unless push lever is operating
properly.
NOTE:
Solvents sprayed on nose to clean and free up the
push lever may have the opposite effect. The solvent
may soften the tar on the shingles and cause tar
buildup to be accelerated. Dry operation is better.
4. Inspecting the magazine
1 DISCONNECT AIR HOSE.
2 Clean the magazine. Remove dust or wooden tips
which may have accumulated in the magazine.
5. Storing
When not in use for an extended period, apply a thin
coat of the lubricant to the steel parts to avoid rust.
Do not store the Nailer in a cold weather environment.
Keep the Nailer in a warm area.
When not in use, the Nailer should be stored in a
warm and dry place.
Keep out of reach children.
